another weekend, another snowstorm

this weekend dropped another 8ish inches of snow on us. not too bad for shoveling and certainly lots of fun for chocolate lab puppies!playing fetch with boomerang
even tho foster loves his boomerang he was distracted but a much more interesting "toy"......a bottle of windshield-washer fluid!

who knew car maintenance could be so fun?
