I go from the house to the driveway to a path I created in the front yard to the double pines and back. Repeat. It’s nice to see new surroundings and some old dog friends.

I know, I know! Another photo of me in the snow… there are two reasons for this. One is the unbelievable amount we’ve received here in just one month. You just can’t get away from it.

Can winter make balls even more fun? Is that even possible? When they throw it in a mound of snow, I get to dig and shove my snout in up to my ears. When I get the ball, it’s got a crust of snowy goodness that chews just right.
