  10. he looks just like ours, the one we have a love/hate relationship with. He sometimes whistles for his lady until I go out and threaten to throttle him. he sounds like daddy use to whistle for the dog to come over and over and over. I love the jumping out of the photo the best of all. he is a beauty
