Um, you guys, really I was just looking to categorize your sexual identification for HR, not actually keep track of each person's specific crushes.

Tom Hardy is a sexual identification unto himself. I'm just sayin.

Also? All cephalopods should be allowed to text.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'll have to adjust my form.

All how long can you leave a dog in a car outside in 27 degree weather?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, lady, let me adjust your form...

What? I'm on a harassment roll.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

le nub, I'm thinking leaving a dog in an enclosed space in cold weather is much less of a problem than in hot weather. Its body heat would be largely retained by the enclosure, and if it has a blanket, upholstered seat or carpet to lie on, its coat should retain sufficient body heat to keep it comfortable. I'd think anxiety would be more of a problem than cold.

Dogs are left outside with inadequate shelter far more frequently than is humane, and they survive physically.

Unless the dog is shivering, and it's obviously from cold and not anxiety, or unresponsive, I wouldn't worry. But you're a good person to be concerned.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, my dog is outside in 30 degree weather right now and thinks it's about the best thing that's ever happened to him. I looked out to check on him and he has snow on his nose. Admittedly, he's got a big thick coat.

eta: I should clarify, has snow on his nose because he's been burrowing and playing in it. He has plenty of sunny, non-snowy spots to be in, but loooves the snow.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Thank you. I have been sitting in my car and I am fucking cold. I figure the dog can't be happy about it.
