Schroon Lake Dog Of The Week: Nola The "Dack Dog"

JoAnne Piterniak nominates Nola!

More From Joanne:

I nominate none other than my Nola Jean Castleberry, my husband Bill's "other woman" for Schroon Lake Dog of the Week. She's not called "Dack Dog" for nothing! Nola enjoys time at the "Dack Shack", our camp in North Hudson, and particularly enjoys wading in the river, walking with her parents and sitting by the campfire. She's getting older gracefully (12 in December!) and she can't see, hear or run around like she used to, but she is #1 in our hearts!

Here's a photo attached of her enjoying Schroon Lake's very own town beach, (above) and a bonus photo of our girl visiting with Santa.
