Recipe for happiness
First, find out which way is up
And which way is down.
Then, throw a snowball
Again and again.
Pure happiness achieved!
These photos of the Old English Sheepdog Totte were taken before the lake froze over
And the really heavy snows arrived.

And when that moment comes and we ask ourselves if we had a fulfilling life, we can turn our minds back to moments like this and say: “Yes, I lived life, to the full”. And that’s just the dog!
