At -10 Degrees F Thursday morning he was ready to come in and warm his feet. 
   But today was better - above 40 degrees F and wet, he was in his element. 
   Today he is six months old and 62 pounds, empty morning working weight. We're enjoying his first Christmas tree in our Boat Shop together,

the Kayaq hanging overhead reflecting the lights across the room. As the winds howl outside, a lively fire is dancing in the stove, and with his toys and rug inside Beaufort was relaxed in the moment, enjoying it all. Warm is good!

                                    Happy Birthday, Beaufort!
