My yard

Oh yard!

You have grass so green!
Grass for rolling in
Grass for eating
Grass for sleeping on
Grass for peeing on.

You have flowers so pretty!
Flowers for the people
Flowers for the bees
Flowers to make the sun shine.

You have Oak Tree so tall!
Oak Tree for running circles around (whee!)
Oak Tree to make sticks for chewing
Oak Tree to give shade.

You have chickens so squawky!
Chickens make eggs
Enough said.

You have sunshine so warm!
Sunshine for lying in
Sunshine for warm fur
Sunshine for happy dog.

I love you, oh yard.

Oh yard, you are fabulous. You -

Wait!

Hey Squirrel! Get out of my yard!
Yeah, I'm talking to you!
Punk.

Oh yard.

What happens to Spring when it goes?

I can see the whole city from up here...

 

And I wonder...Where does Spring go when it's no longer Spring? What happens to the flowers and the bees and the warm-but-not-too-hot sunshine?

 

I think Summer comes next. I can feel it waiting, getting ready to come in the warm wind and the bright beating sun. But then Spring will be gone, and I think I will feel a little bit sad. I very much love the Spring... The wet, cool grass. The smells of the creatures waking up after winter. The way that my person walks and walks for hours, and the little stops we make along the way to hang out in Nature. The, of course, the fact that Nature is not making it too hot, nor too cold. Spring is pretty much perfect.

 

So I guess I will just enjoy Spring while it's here!

 

Isn't life wonderful??

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!!
