After seeing that picture above, you’re probably thinking, “What’s going on in Michigan? Is it snowing already???” Luckily, we’re not there yet. Michigan is known for its erratic weather, but we’re not talking about snow just yet.
Lately, I’ve been using some of my leftover photos for these roundups. These are pictures that, for one reason or another, didn’t make it into their own posts. I’ve amassed thousands of these photos, so repurposing them here seemed like a good idea.

Alright, enough about photos. Let’s get to what you’re really here for—this week’s fantastic dog stories.
