Stuffed Animal Surviving Rough Winter

So far. The stuffed animal is still there. I took this pic on January 20, 2008. The other day, someone had cut off a ton of branches from a tree above and I could barely see the animal beneath. I thought they would throw him out with the tree branches, but the next day the branches were gone and he was still there. There have been overnight lows in the 30s and highs near 80. At least one serious rain storm.
