Manny at the Woodstove

Manny is our homestead dog. He’s a mix of English bulldog, Jack Russell, and Catahoula. Our fur baby is so full of personality that we never know what to expect from him! When we came in from our walk today, he went directly to the wood stove to warm himself. We are guessing that this is his hint to us that it’s too cold to go outside today!
