Golden retrievers Paczki and ZuZu love being out in the polar vortex a heck of a lot more than we do, but it's so much fun to watch them. This morning was around 10 degrees with about 7 inches of fresh snow: a perfect morning! And off they go . . .

Will Rogers said it best, "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." When I see the joy in our goldens as they run and chase each other around, I sometimes think that instead of streets of gold, I'd just as soon be surrounded by our goldens . . .
