hounds in the snow

 

Captain America on the left in basic black, and Cassius (the Roman) on the right...they are always on leash in public, and don't play then...nor when unleashed in house...nor (so far) when taken to a fenced in area...so a spot was temporarily created for them...and

parrot dog

 

In Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island", the pirate Long John Silver had a parrot perched on his shoulder. The parrot was named Captain Flint. Ever since that tale, people have associated pirates with parrots. Well, Cassius likes to rest his muzzle on a shoulder during car rides. John says we have a parrot dog.
