Why Does My Dog Yawn?

Posted to: News & Entertainment
i am starting to run the Lugnut at the local WMA. Lots of room, weeds, brush, deer, birds. He really gets into it. We get back in about a quarter mile from the road, so if no coyotes show up, its safe. His nose works well, and he seems to be developing a taste for deer fewmets. The ground is still frozen...
