More on Spring

Warm sun on my fur. Long walks (because my person likes the warm sun on her fur too!). Wonderfully cool breezes and wet ocean air. Dampness still in the grass, perfect for rolling.

I like Spring very much!!

And look at my svelte figure! Am I not poetry in motion? Do I not leap and soar majestically?

I love playing in the Spring.

But please note that I am not fetching. I am merely carrying Ball to find a nice place to roll with it in the grass. I do not fetch.

Spring

I have not typed on this thing called Blog since Nature was making Winter. Now Nature is making Spring. Clearly I have been very busy. And my people too.

This is me being very busy...

Recently I had a goal. This goal was skinny-dog.

Alright, maybe this was my person's goal, but I began to agree when I no longer wanted to do running-flying-soaring-leap-over-logs anymore. This was because my body was too heavy. I became lolly-gag-dog.

At first I was not sure about the thing called "diet". But it has not been so bad. I only get half-food in my bowl, but the rest follows me around with my person and I get it for things like being nice to small children (this is very kind of me, I know), or for walking away from a Dog who is being rude instead of telling it off with bark-bark-bark.

So this has been okay. I still get Meat at dinner from the people-food, and vegetables too! (I like peas the best.) And the happiest part is that my body is now very light! Today I went running-flying-soaring-leaping over many logs and it was amazing!

Also much hiking helps too. As I said, I have been very busy. And now I am skinny-dog!!

Yes, I know... Me posing again. But aren't I so very good at it?

Snow adventure

When the world is covered with white, what is left?

More than cold paws, I know that much. There is a whole new landscape filled with the smells of birds and small creatures, of people and other Dogs who passed this way days before.

But what is buried under all this snow?

Where do the footsteps lead?

The Ball of coldness named "snowball"... Why can I not bite that fabulous Ball and hold it in my mouth? It just vanishes in a puff of whiteness. Why does it do this? Where does it go?

 

Lost another one... Drat.

  

And why is the air different here, so high above the forests and beaches down below?

And why oh why...
                      can't we....

                                  ...stay in the snow forever??

Spring is in the air!

I can smell it! Growing things and fresh mud, rain and warmer winds.

Is Nature starting to make Spring where you live too?

Did you know...

...that the wonderful, yummy, amazing, tasty things called Eggs come from the Chickens?

I always thought it was the little-brown-hen-house that made the Eggs, but no - it's the Chickens!

You see, for a long time we had the little-brown-hen-house and the creatures called Chickens lived in it, and each morning the little-brown-hen-house made Eggs. But then one day the Chickens went away. And so did the Eggs. I watched and watched and watched little-brown-hen-house, but there were no Eggs. This was very sad.

Then, one day, new Chickens came! But no Eggs. We waited and waited and waited. I had just about given up. So had my people.

But then, one morning - an EGG! Now we get Eggs every day. And they come from the Chickens, not the little-brown-hen-house. Huh. Who knew?

Do you like Eggs too?
