Fetch

If you're willing to play fetch non-stop, come rain or snow or any weather... you'd be Murphy's best friend.  This time of year, the tennis ball gets covered in ice and snow, but he wouldn't have it any other way.

Honestly, I may not have gone out at all today, if it hadn't been for Murph.  The temperature was bitter cold and the wind was wicked... Weather much better suited for a book by the fire, if you ask me.  
It's probably better for me that he 'insists' on the fresh air.  But don't tell him that.

It's our second winter in this house and we seem to be getting more snow at this point than we did last year.  (About 15-18 inches have accumulated in the last couple of days.)  Good thing we all like the white stuff... Mostly.
