Some unexpected awesomeness

Today in Springfield Missouri we got about 8-10in snow with 15-25mph winds. It was in the single digits and wind chill was 0°.
I wanted to get out and do some long range .22 shooting to make myself a better rounded shooter instead of just no wind fair weather shooter.
The dogs went with me and about 23 round down range my magazine bearded up and the round appeared stuck in the mag not feeding. I pulled the mag out and 2 rounds flew out of the mad into the snow and gone I said "**** it" Charlie our mutt dog (on the right was playing of behind me immediately ran over to me and layed on my lower back butt area and after a couple minutes he made a noise to Pistol the lab/pit mix (on the left) pistil then cane right over and layed on my legs for the remainder of the shooting. I assume they thought I was in trouble and were keeping me warm.
Just wanted to share how awesome dogs are even if they are strays like both of these guys are dumped in the country to be adopted by us.

Dog's be say'in, ARE YOU NUTS! IT"S FREEZING OUT HERE!

They were having a blast playing around in the snow

Most of my best dogs over the years have been strays that adopted us. :-)
Nice shooting too.

My faithful adopted doberman wouldn't come outside in this but he also wrong go outside if it is raining or even wet

Ol' Pistol looks like he wants to take a crack! He'sitting there crying inside "But I ain't got no dang thumbs!". There isn't anything in those pics that doesn't look great. Nice!

Ol pistol is only 8 months old and 85lbs. He's going to be huge
