~~ recent fun activity = 

Earlier this week, after having a few low to mid 40*F weather, I was able to take a short walk with our doggy, Mister Bennett!! He's about 14-15 years old! And he's a mixed breed, not sure. He definitely has Chihuaha ears, eyes, and nose yet his fur texture and coloring aligns more with a miniature Schnauzer. There is a term for this combination named as "Chizers". He does look very similar to some dog photos I've seen labeled as Chizers. He comes to me for affection, when he's cold and sometimes for food or outside needs. He goes to my husband mostly for treats!
