Like most of the east coast, a huge snow storm hit Charlotte today. School was canceled, even for employees. Maegan enjoyed the snow day off from school and built another snowman (this one bigger). But I think Boomer enjoyed the snow even more than Maegan. Snow Dog from Mike Sussman on Vimeo.

Boomer had a near death experience today. I was hiking through some woods with Boomer and we came across a stream. I’d estimate the stream was about 6-10 feet across and maybe a few feet deep with steep banks. I was looking for a narrower spot where we could cross more easily when suddenly I [...]
