I wasn’t feeling great this afternoon, so I came home from work a bit early to take a nap.

When this face is asking you to play, it’s just about impossible to say no.

We had the first snowfall of the season today.

Shelly serves on the board of the National Audubon Society, and Nico wanted to show his support as well.

Nico got to play with his buddy Chester today.

All I have to say is that he is a good boy.

Today finally felt like a fall day, crisp, cool, and with a little rain.

I asked him if he was ready for Halloween, and this is the look he gave.

The prince on his throne.

This is the look you give when you’ve just been woken up to someone holding a softbox flash in your face and taking your photo.

Nico likes to bake in the afternoon sun while laying on his bench.

We had a lazy day hanging around the house, but Nico enjoyed hanging out in the yard by himself.

Shelly has been away for more than a week, and Nico is looking forward to her returning home this evening.

When we bought this bench, we had no idea it would be Nico’s favorite play to lay.

Every time I see Nico sitting in the yard like this, all I can think is that I need to commission someone to make a lawn statue of him.

This afternoon, we had chickens and deer in our yard, and Nico was very excited.

Nico and I visited friends camping at Cedar River Flow. It was a nice afternoon to sit by a fire.

Nico enjoyed swimming on Lower Saranac Lake this afternoon.

Nico likes to survey the yard from this rock.

It was a beautiful day in the Adirondacks.
