Very nice award badge! Out here in Cali if was hot & dry as a desert and, as it’s now the first day of spring, I’ve had to accept that there will be no winter. Hoping for some spring rain!

All of you that have endured the blizzard weather of 2014 certainly deserve a special badge! We will have to design one for surviving our southern heat because I know it’s coming! BOL! Bark More, Growl Less Barking from the Bayou!
