        If that’s what you do your a very very bad person. I’m actually a very responsible dog owner and iv always liked unusual breeds. Can’t see the problem.

          Tish is missing a furry four legged friend in her life. It helps with negative energy.

    “adorable”

    You sound like a cheap Indo sub editor writing captions for pics of animals and children.

    Pests! The Russians introduced them to Europe for their winter coat. They’ve since spread into Scandinavia and Germany.

  3. Cup of tea anyone?

    Ah the Tanuki. I knew i had heard of that before.

    Anyone remember In Mario 3 he could use the Tanuki suit / racoon suit.

    It turned him into a statue and he could also fly.

    Guess it was based off of this little fella.
