Most things already have been said above. What I can add is that if you find a tree, a dog can stay there for very long time. A (domestic) dog we had once sat an entire day under a tree because o...
Soak the mug in a sink of hot water to warm it up quickly. Be prepared to pry the gas cartridge out quickly, perhaps using small screwdrivers or needle nose pliers. The thermal mass of the gas in t...
