This is Probably the Biggest Icicle I Have Ever Owned

I went to take the dog out yesterday and noticed this huge icicle hanging off of my gutter.  This is probably the biggest icicle I have ever owned, I've seen bigger, just not on my house.

  I'm going to keep it and let it grow.  I want to see if it will reach the ground.  My dog checks on it when we go outside.  He looks at it like it's a piece of meat.  He likes to eat ice, so icicles are a real treat and he's looking forward to devouring this one, but not until it falls.
