King of the Snow Pile
Cubbie and I aren’t fond of the snow, but Teddy is another story. He loves running through the snow and burying his face in it. Each time it snows, I shovel off the deck so the dogs have a clear path...

Late Risers
My dogs don’t like getting out of bed in the morning. They wake up to go to outside, but then they run right back to bed. Both dogs are in this photo, you just can’t see Cubbie. He’s that lump on the...
