Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes!

Steadfastness, it seems,
is more about dogs than about us.
One of the reasons we love them so much.

- FC: GO OUTSIDE–HAPPINESS IS MAXIMIZED AT 13.9°C (DK: Half way there. All-in on outdoors. Happiness cannot be maximized @ 57° F. Give me Heat. Implementation at 50%)
