I’m not going to lie, this is the coolest dog I’ve ever seen. I’m pretty sure he’s from the future. The truth is that Buddy needs these goggles when outside to help regulate the amount of light that hits his eyes, due to cataracts and weak pupils. Buddy is rocking this look and if I could meet Buddy in person I would let him know!

Today’s weather is going to be a little unsettled. There is a 30 per cent chance of showers and a thunderstorm late this afternoon with a mix of sun and cloud and a daytime high of 23 degrees.

There is also a 30 per cent chance of showers or thunderstorms this evening and into the overnight period. Everything is still sizing up to be a great weekend. Daytime highs are set to hit the mid-twenties and sunshine throughout the weekend. It looks like Buddy is going to break hearts with his sweet style all weekend!
