Remember, Dad’s a bit of a tightwad. Better to have a six-year-old trying to operate a snow shovel a good deal bigger than he is than to buy a snowblower.
My husband and I have been doing that for some time. Between actual pet water dishes and my cats both being fond of getting drinks from the bathtub while I’m soaking in it, they stay well-hydrated. :)
There are much worse things a male dog can do to a tree, as I know from experience. Seems having a tree indoors can confuse the boys about appropriate places to lift a leg.
He’s not wrong :). I’ve also heard a joke (at least I think it was a joke) about “karaoke” being Japanese for “tone-deaf drunk with a microphone”.
