Snowy Noses & Nose-to-Noses

Maxwell's feeling well enough to investigate the snowfall today.

And you can tell by his expression what he thinks of it.
He bent down to sniff and got a nose-full!

Speaking of noses (how's that for a segue?) ...

As a member of the BlogPaws Blogger Influencer Group, we've been asked to share the news about:

The 3rd Annual BlogPaws

It's nomination time, and there are many fantastic pet blogs out there that deserve to be nominated.

Thank you so much!

Faraday, that's not such a good idea...

Peeps, seriously. Who stole SPRING? We'd like it back, please.

Wordless Wed: Snowpocalypse Edition

More snow!

"Do I look like I'm having fun, I ask you?!?"

"I distinctly recall there being less of this a few days ago."

Snowmageddon!

Peeps, that is our CAT grass container you see sitting on that table with a foot of snow on it.

And the snow just started about 2 hours ago - THUNDERsnow even - and it's not supposed to let up til midnight.

We are not amused.
