Dog Has Rash and Bad Odor?

Cleaning a Coin?
Go over the coin with an eraser and then cover with ketchup for a few hours, you will definitely be surprised. This will clean the coin but doing so will take away any real value if you are considering selling it at a later time.

Tybee (Shepherd Mix)
No doubt Tybee has a lot of Husky in her, but Im also guessing some Doberman Pincher as well. If she were a Husky/Shepherd mix she most likely would have a very thick coat of fur, but from what I see she has a nice short coat. The size and angle of her head...
