There is something ethereal about days when snowflakes slowly drift to the ground, creating the feeling of standing inside a giant snow globe.

When Nico holds his ears out to the side like this, I call them Dobby, or house-elf, ears because they remind me of Dobby from Harry Potter.

Nico, Shelly, and I went for a mid-day walk on trails near our house.

I spent three hours this afternoon at the Tri-Lakes Humane Society, walking their dogs and photographing them.

Nico is whooped after a day of playing with his cousin Ziggy.

We took Nico on a five-mile walk this afternoon to burn off some energy before settling in for Thanksgiving dinner.

Nico and I walked from the mechanic shop this morning. For the rest of the day, Nico decided it was best to occupy his throne (aka our couch).

Nico and I went for an afternoon walk along the shores of Lower Saranac Lake.

When you are a good boy, and you know it, you know you’ll get paid for doing what you are told.

I spent the afternoon photographing dogs at the Tri-Lakes Humane Society.

When I got home, Nico had his toys piled up in the living room. He seemed quite proud of his collection.

Yesterday, I came home from work late. Today, I came home early. As usual, Nico was excited for me to be home.

I got home late today, and Nico was overly excited to see me.

This is Nico’s sassy face.

Nico and I took an afternoon walk along Lower Saranac Lake.

Shelly and I had to run errands a little over an hour away from home today.

We had a bit of snow falling this afternoon at the house.

So many toys and he plays with them all.

Photographing Nico catching treats is fun, so I thought maybe toys would be fun too.
