It’s one of those days that celebrates pets. This is Extra—my dog made of newspapers. I bought him in Seattle years ago. He’s a great pet even if he isn’t breathing. ... See MoreSee Less
🌹❤️🌹 Cute and clever! One of my favorite combos! 🌹❤️🌹
And he can take care of himself when you’re traveling!
He’s very cute. These are my pets, Samson and Petey, they don’t bite the mailman or need refreshments. They are autonomous and will take your picture if you are an intruder. lol
Extra is gorgeous !
I love him! No food, no barking, no vet!
He is awesome!
Too cool
He also doesn't need potty training. Bonus
Do you have an actual Animal pet ?
That's cool! I thought he was made of rope.
How tall is he?
So cool

I am glad you are having fun in Seattle. You will be in Pittsburgh soon. I am looking forward to it. Peanut butter in a cup. Good idea. Lol ❤️🤣

Blessings Lori YOU have a good one too 😁
