I swear, this is his happiest time of the year.
He jumped off our front porch into the front yard this afternoon, a big old belly flop, and then he rolled around on his back for about five minutes.
Normally he'd body-surf down the hill in the snow, but I think it's too deep this time for that.
He's a lab, of course.

I love having a pet who is always happy, always enjoying his life, maybe not the most brilliant mind ever born, but just enjoys every day that he's been given.
