Ok!! Finally a topic I might be able to add some information to. My first recomendation is to do as much research on what ever breed of dog you may have. Also talk with your Vet and get there recomendations on this topic. I have had dogs all my life and for the first 17 years I grew up in upper Illinois where is got really cold and windy. We had a garage and a pedestrian door with a doggie door in it. I have Beagles that I hunted with and I had mutts I adopted that pepole would drive out of Chicago and drop them on the country road we lived on. I was like a magnet to the strays as they always seem to find our home. Now with that said there were certain dogs I had that would come in the garage to eat but I don't care how cold it got they would sleep out side at night in dog houses filled with straw while others would sleep on beds in the garage. I often wonder about that over the years. Finally about 12 years ago while I had Kasey I had a igloo doggie house out beside the front door and even though I considered her more of an indoor dog she at times would have other ideas. That was why I ask my Vet about it. She told me that because we were never really sure of her breed mix she did have many traits that one of her parents may have been a cold weather door because Kasey had about 4 seperate layers of hair and a coat of downe against her skin like a fur coat it was easy for her to control her body temps by going in and out as she wanted to. Her favorate place to lay was out in the carport under the boat on the concrete floor from early Spring through late Fall and in the winter she would come in and I kept the heat vents turned off in my storage room and had her bed in there and she would sleep in there in very cold nights and in the dog house on average nights. In this picture you can see the brown downe that covers Kaseys belly. My first and foremost recomendation would be ask your Vet what their recomendation would be best for your particular Partners situation.

This topic was brought up on Fox News last night and I listened to what the people discussing it said and evidently this is a 2 part bill that was passed in the House but it was said by about three different people asked what they thought and all three said when it reaches the Senate it will be split into 2 seperate bills and voted on 1 at a time. Now since I am not all that smart maybe someone here can better explain what the 2 parts of this bill are. Like I said, I don't plan on leaving the state but I am sure many here do travel to other states and would like to carry while doing so. Now with that said, even if they do pass 1 or both in the Senate and Trump signs it does that really mean many of the states like NJ , NY, Mass, Maine, Illinois, California and other will abide by it. NJ has already said you will be arrested in their state if your armed from out of state. Yea you may win in court but is it worth the cost of legal fees to fight it if you do get arrested?.............JMHO

Sounds like he lived a full life and I would be willing to bet I probably fish a lot of the Jigs he made for Hoppys. I had wholesale license back then and I bought a ton of Hoppy's Jigs, Spinner baits, Buzz baits and Black Lights. I was able to buy directly from Kelmar Wholesale. I still talk with Little John some if I am fishing Percy Priest lake and launch at Fate Sanders. If I am close by at lunch time I will run up to the marina to say hi to him and have lunch. Has been a year or so now as when I fish Priest now it is at night and the marina resturant is closed.

Ever since I was old enough to know the real meaning of Christmas I have always done what my parents asked of me. They always said to be sure and Keep CHRIST in Christmas and I have and I passed that down to my children and they are passing it down to theirs. That would be all I want for Christmas is for everyone to "Keep CHRIST in Christmas"

Just another reason for me to keep my butt right here in Tennessee......................

Well back when I owned several more guns than I do at present I was concerned about securing them so I invested in a good safe for securing any guns I didn't have out for personal carry or house protection. Now I only have about 3 guns in the safe and 3 that are either every day carry or house protection and all I can say is good luck to a bad guy about finding any of them. They are not kept in a drawer but more of less in plain sight but yet are very very easy to over look. Many friends come to my home and never see them and they are all gun owners. Most all bad guys assume that valuables are always locked up or hid in drawers and they are always in a hurry to do an in and out and don't want to spend a long time looking once they realize there is a safe in the house. The assumption is most all the valuables are in the safe and they don't have time to try and get in it. Most bad guys also look for a security system. I don't have one but I do have 3 trail cameras also concealed yet in plain sight that I turn on when I am away from the house for any long period of time that do take some great pictures. No I don't have the best of anything to keep a bad guy out of my house but I do believe they will be disappointed when they leave with nothing or almost nothing.

Well, as I mentioned earlier in another thread. The rush by all the people to get the bill on the floor it will get stuck in the Senate till at least the year 20/20 or later and then if politics change in the 2018 election it can be killed if anything changes in the Senate or House..............Not holding my breath on it but does not really effect me as it will some others because I don't plan on leaving Tennessee to go to any other state...............JMHO

I think I gained 5 lbs just reading this thread................

Not me but I am on schedule to age 95 with the amount of coffee I have each morning. I drink a 12 cup pot every morning................

I think she needs to be commended for even getting involved and saving a police officer from possible death had the bad guy got to his firearm and maybe shot him and others in the area........JMHO

I'm speechless!!!!!!!!!!!.....................

I think that one was a few years ago but Mt Juliet has been hit I think 3 times this year!!!

That is why I still have XP on my old computer and when I got this one it had Windows 7 on it and I don't plan on going up until I am literally force to. I have had a lot of folks tell me 10 purely sucks!!!!

Your not going to get an argument out of me on this at all. As soon as they come across the border without a Green card or work Visa they are automatically a criminal that has broken a law in this country and should have no Constitional protection what so ever. That is exactly why the first thing they do is run yowards any sanctuary city or state they can get to because they know they will be protected. I really wish that all of the illegal Imigrants in this country would flow like an Exodus of Biblical Proportion to California including all of the gang members of MS13 and then the Federal Government needs to cut all Federal Funding to California. Put every extra federal agent they have on the state line between California and any state that borders California and arrest every illegal Imigrant that tries to leave when the food runs out. Lets see how bad California really wants to be a Sanctuary State? It will also set an example to any of these other so called Sanctuary Wannabe's both cities and states. If all the states would cut all Freebees to them and stop feeding them and stop all the healthcare they might get an incentive to go back home. Maybe if they don't object to your post they probably will mine JAB. I don't believe in any type of program that gives them an incentive to remain here and that includes DACA!! My Children and my Grandchildren come first!!!!!

I don't know if I would completely believe that the LEO didn't know how that works and I would be willing to bet it does not get destroyed in 30 days. If I was the guy that found it and did not want to keep it and could not find original owner I would wait till police had another gun buy back program and just turn it in and get what ever they are giving for guns. Might as well get something for finding it..........JMHO

I would guess that being able to depend on it to go bang every time you pull the trigger and being any where near accurate would trump how ugly they are............JMHO

Every turkey hunters dream would be to be able to do that..............

Read this on another site and almost hits my life on the head...........LMAO I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of my way much faster now. Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.. You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body. I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row. I decided to stop calling the bathroom the "John" and renamed it the "Gym" . I feel so much better saying I went to the Gym this morning. Old age is coming at a really good time. When I was a child I thought "Nap Time" was a punishment. Now, as an old fart, it feels like a small vacation. The biggest lie I tell myself is..."I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it." I don't have gray hair; I have "wisdom highlights." I'm just claiming to be very wise. Teach your daughters how to shoot, because a restraining order is just a piece of paper and not worth a thing. If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees and not put that big round pot belly in the way. When I came here I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet. Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway? Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice. At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for. Actually I'm not complaining cuz I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later. I don't have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant. I don't have acne. And I don't stay mad at anyone for long because I forget why I am mad at them. Life is great. I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names.

BAD IDEA...............Period !!!!!!.............................

Sorry bout your Dad and hope you can bag at least 1 deer for your "Back Strap Fever" cause some traditions just need to continue at Christmas Time..............

Got to have a pooch in mine!!!

I agre with you JAB, but until we can get a Supreme Court that will do their job it won't happen. The Supreme court was the one that ruled back in 1973 that making convicts work was against the law because there punishment was being locked up and to make them work while locked up was against the law and soon there was no more stripes and the got Cable TV, A/C in their cells and top of the line medical attention all paid for by the taxpayers. It's no wonder criminals get out and turn right back around and break the law to get back in Prison. The are not prisons but Resorts.........................

Did I just hear correctly that the N Range Gun store in Mt.Juliet got hit again over the weekend ?????

ROFLMAO!!! If I had a Country Ham in my house the Deer Roast would remain in the Freezer a while and I would have a Conuntry Ham dinner on Christmas..............JMHO I would almost kill for a Country Ham. They have been out of my price range for too many years to remember..............

I was not really inferring he would target it specifically but hit it by accident or have an ICBM self destruct near it by accident. He is a kind of wreckless guy I think.............JMHO
