It's spring!

 Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

It's springtime, friends!

We are spending lots of time outside. Here are some pictures of Cyrus that my person thinks are cute. 

What about pictures of ME?

What's your weather doing, friends?

I am helpful by going in pictures!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! 

Last blog post I shared with you that pictures mean cheese! This means that every time my person bends down to take a picture of something, I go right in front of her!

Like this!

I'm sure she wasn't trying to take pictures of the spring flowers in our yard, right? I'm sure she was trying to take a picture of ME, right? She must have just forgotten to put ME in front of the camera, right?

It's a good thing I am so helpful!

(These plant bits are poking my bum. Why are we doing pictures here, anyways?)

Spring pawtrait time

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

On our Walk today we found these yellow flower things! My person decided it was time to do some pawtraits of US!

These were on a Big Hill in a Big Field. Big Field on Big Hill has many little critter holes in it! They smelled so interesting! All the spring air smelled so interesting today!

Okay, I must admit to you that my leg is still a little sore. I will confess that I walked into the yellow flower things and then I lay down to rest. My person thought this was a good chance to do some good pictures.

Since pictures mean cheese, Pepper joined me for picture time! We don't just say cheese, we eat cheese! More cheese, please!

Climb like a goat!

Hi friends, Ojo here! 

Today I climbed up high! Like a mountain goat! I can smell the whole world from up here!

Do you like to climb?

Hey human, are you actually stopping to smell the flowers? Why?!? There are much better things to smell... like poop!

Another day in the flowers

Hi friends, Ojo here! 

I am in the flowers again. Contemplating life. 

Thinking about running in a field. Thinking about what might be for dinner. Thinking about - WAIT!

A SQUIRREL!

Flowers for rolling in!

Hi friends, Ojo here! These flowers are called camas lilies! 

My person wasn't happy that I was rolling in them. But they were wet with morning water and felt so nice on my back!

Afterwards my eyes itched. What is pollen, friends? And why does it "serve me right"??

I would like to hang out in the camas flowers all day. What a happy place!

A Spring Day

Hi friends, Ojo here!

Yes I am still around! Yes I am still bouncing through fields and forests!

My person and I have been going through some changes. Life is a little different. But life is still full of Walks, and naps and breakfast and dinner and so many other good things!

I thought it was time to come back to say hi! Hi! 

This is ME sitting on the spring flowers that my person was trying to take a picture of! Don't you think I'm prettier than the flowers? I think so.

I hope you are all well. I can't wait to catch up! Bye for now!

My fur says it is Spring (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

My fur has decided it is Spring. Cobi, why are you laughing? This is a very serious matter!

Spring is coming! (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Spring is coming! I can smell it in the air!

That is the lake way down below me. The breeze carries its smells all the way up to me up top! The birds are very busy right now. I think they're yelling too much, but our person seems to like the sounds. Also there was a teeny, tiny bit of sun. I am happy that it is almost-spring!

We are beautiful (and the flowers are kind of okay too)

Today we did a Spring photoshoot with our person. This is because we are very beautiful.

Wait, why did Ojo's picture get to go first?

Here is ME:

Our person thought the flowers in our Yard were very pretty. The only thing prettier than the flowers is US! So she put us the photos too. Clearly this makes the flowers even more beautiful.

These pictures were taken after our Walk. Actually it was a zoom with Balls at the Beach. So I was rather tired. But I'm still very beautiful, don't you think?

Ojo did not entirely cooperate. (I still don't know why her picture got to be first.)

She thought it was no fun to be sitting with the flowers when there were far more interesting things to do. Like eat the grass.

But then our person brought out Leftover Chicken, so we agreed to share our prettiness with her and the flowers. We are gorgeous, don't you think?

Ahhhh spring

Spring is here. It feels wonderful. It smells wonderful.

Today we sat in Spring. We did not sniff. We did not watch the birds. We did not look for poop. We just sat and soaked in Spring.

It was very happy to hang out in Spring. And besides, there will be plenty of time for poop eating later.

Spring is here!

Spring is finally here! We are so happy about this that we agreed to pose in some flowers for our person.

Actually, I was supposed to be posing, but our person had cheese and so Ojo barged into the picture, like usual. But I guess I will admit that we look lovely together in the daffodils. And there was enough cheese for sharing...

Happy spring!

I think I found Spring

I think I found Spring. Finally. Now if only Sunshine would come too.

Spring is over there somewhere! (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Spring is coming! Sometime! I know it! It's over there... somewhere!
(Please come soon, Spring!)

Hello world! (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

I stand on the hill. I watch. I sniff the breeze. Hello, world!
Behind me is a storm. In front of me is the ocean. Hello, world!
I have chased a Ball. I have chased a Dog. Now I am still. Hello, world!

And now I am done standing and sniffing and watching. I will go bother Cobi instead.

Hello, Cobi!

What is it??? (by Ojo) (Warning - SNAKE!)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

We went for a Walk in big-grass-field-by-lake. Nature made some beautiful flowers in the field, and happy sunshine for us to share too!

And there was something else in the field...

There is something in the grass. What is it???

BARK BARK BARK!

A SNAKE??

I have never met an alive snake before! I have only met dead snakes. I like dead snakes! They are fun for rolling in.

But I am not sure about alive-snake.

No thank you, I would not like to see alive-snake again. You can make it go away now. Thank you.

Snake!

On the move... (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Nature is busy growing things!
The wind is busy blowing smells!
The sun is busy shining!

And we exploring it all!

Oh Happy Spring!

Oh Spring!
With your daisies
And fast-growing grass (that we love to munch on)
And warm sun
And fresh breezes

We love you, Spring!

Oh Spring!
I lie in your grass
With my Ball
And I feel happy!

I love you, Spring!

Oh Spring!
You make Ojo go crazy!
She rolls!
She snorts!
She pants!
She rolls some more!

She loves you, Spring!

Oh Spring!
Summer is coming
But we like you better
Because you are not as hot
And your grass is softer
And your breezes are fuller
And your smells are bigger

We love you, Spring!

(And Ojo is crazy. Do you see her rolling behind me with her Ball? Crazy.) (Oh Spring!)

I just feel happy! (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Some days I just feel happy being a Dog!

Of Beaches, Balls, and our one day of Spring! (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

We had One Day of Spring! (And now Nature is doing rain and cold again.)

But our person was so happy with our One Day of Spring that not only did we get to go to the special-oak-tree-many-grasses-park (Cobi told you about this!), but we also got to go to the Beach!

I was very busy at the Beach!

I ran! I chased Ball! I fetched Ball!
I ran! I chased Ball! I fetched Ball!
I ran some more! I chased Ball some more! I fetched Ball some more!

Cobi did not fetch, although she was very happy so she did carry her Ball a small ways!

Did I mention that I ran? Did I mention that I chased Ball? Did I mention that I fetched?

We were not the only ones on the Beach. The whole city was happy that Nature made One Day of Spring! Everyone was on the Beach!

(And I was very good! I did not steal any Balls that were not mine. I did not crash into any Dogs or people. And I came back every time my person called me!)

Hurray for our One Day of Spring!
(Please come back soon, Spring!)
