Guys.

It’s Washington Capitals dog calendar day.

I know! We are so #blessed.

The dogs you’ll see in this year’s calendar are from Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, a local animal adoption organization. It already has posted a few pictures from the shoot to its Facebook page, if you’re interested. (Of course you are.)

The Caps are (at least?) the second NHL team to shoot an animal calendar this week; Pittsburgh players also posed for one on Tuesday.

This is where I’d normally consider throwing in some homer line about how Washington’s calendar will be better because its dogs probably whined less during the shoot, but I can’t even do it because all hockey pet calendars are special and wonderful and should always be celebrated.
