Autumn with Marley

We've discovered that autumn is Marley's favorite season.  I've seen him run through snow, bask in the summer sun - but nothing compares to fall.  He enjoys sniffing the ground and jumping into leaves.  There always seems to be something to sniff and explore- a dog's heaven.   When he hears the wind and leaves blowing outside, look out!  Dog frenzy!  All outdoor rules are forgotten and he disappear into the woods. What happened to our nicely trained dog?  =)  

I've decided to compile a list of things we've learned about Marley:

1.  He loves the fall season

9.   Sleeps on his back and loves his belly rubbed
