HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018 ... "This year marks 150 years since the first Golden Retriever was bred!"

With snowy, windy outdoor temps as low as -13 and as high as +10 degrees over New Year's 2018 weekend, we weren't outside long enough for our usual New Year photo-shoot, so here's a "look back" at New Years past:

One of favorite Campers Margo was with us in 2011-12!

Driveway all open ... girls can come out now!  😎
(but they won't stay out long before paws are lifted - Burrr!)

"GIRLS ARE OUT" ... sporting their Snow Boots!
("Hand-me-Downs" from our girl Sutter)

Emma & Mya think the snowboots are "No Big Deal"

Emma going "FULL OUT" ... Wheeeeeee!

It's Winter  😆
