Brrrrr!

The past week has been really cold here and while I have done my best to avoid going outside my dog Avery has been thrilled with the weather and has loved getting out as much as possible.  I managed to get these couple of photos of him happily hanging out on the porch in the frigid temperatures in the snow.  They aren’t great quality as the light was poor and I took the photo through the window.  Right now I wouldn’t mind having a big thick coat like his.
