What a great thread! Thanks for posting these photos!
My dear Golden Retriever, Sam, passed away eight years ago, and I still miss him. He grew up with my sons, and just loved the snow!
I remember the blizzard we got in this area in 1996...when my county plowed out the five-foot drifts in my court, I told them to dump the snow on my lawn in the cul-de-sac...and I then spent the afternoon outside with Sam and the boys, playing and laughing! Somewhere there are 35mm prints of Sam on top of that mountain of snow, looking like the King of the World.
Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories...
