Holy crap that is a huge dog, and the one rabbit looks sizeable too. There's a Yakov Smirnoff joke in here somewhere....

Ok thank you. My pal posted this to Facebook earlier and I was like wow, some of these are really beautiful but I can already hear the Internet groaning.

We recently moved where our property is in a private cul de sac of 4 houses surrounded by the forest preserve.

I need to learn how to use our DSL!
