Hi All, 

I hope that you all are enjoying all this snow. If it's not your favorite, how can you find a moment of joy in it? I stood outside last night just as the snow started to fall and I was reminded of the quiet magic that happens in a snowstorm. Keep up the giving of the paws and recognition of positive behaviors! We are seeing the effects pay off! Let's make it a fantastic week before break.
