No one answering today. I'll go ahead and be the first.

1. a. Dr Post. I hope I am wrong.
2. Yes. In fact, I did today.
3. No cat/s or dog/s and I wish I had both.
4. Today - 29. Last July 18th - 88. On average - 67.
5. As pissed as I am at Nike's customer relations and feel a lot of their products are lacking in terms of quality, I'll still go with Nike.

Brindle Boxers seem like awesome dogs. I'm jealous.

Might have to bet on Jesus' Team because "blind luck" is often good luck.
I'm surprised you have sent a letter/email. Good for you!

Unfortunately I think Dr Post is going to win too.
Fully admit I didn't know what a Shiba Inu mix is. Just looked. Nice looking dog! You gave it a strange name. : )

Ancient Warrior would win you a nice chunk of change if you bet on it and he won. 20-1 in the program.
Like mjl, your dog and cat have a strange name.

Another "vote" for Ancient Warrior. Interesting.
3 dogs and 2 cats? I like animals but not too sure I could deal with 5. My Uncle at one time had 6 dogs and 3 cats. Granted he had a lot of property but he had a small home. I would feel like I was living in a barn or a zoo if I had 9 animals in my house with me.

My motto at work is/has been “dumb luck beats planning every single time” (and people will now quote me constantly 😄).

I am somewhat vocal in local politics although I wouldn’t describe myself as being “active”. Many elected officials (upto US Rep level) know me by sight although I doubt that they know me by name. Partially it’s because many of them started out in very local office (school board, planning commission etc) and then moved to higher office as they were termed out. I stayed in touch and I communicate with them often. Our State Rep is a FB friend and we know his family. His father frequents the gym where we go.

Ive got a little acreage and none of them are in the house full time. I let a couple in for bits of time but not often

I would love to have 3 dogs and 2 cats - if I had the property/and a house. Seems you do.
Gives me something to look forward to when I retire.

Yeah he's a good boy. He has white paws and white on his chest and a little around his muzzle (although he's starting to get some grey in his beard like his Dad).

I don't know how to upload a pic, not smart enough I guess...lol
