It Really IS Spring!

I meant to post this Tuesday, so pretend it is Tuesday the 17th as you read this. Tuesday it was warm and sunny with blue skies (check local listings).

Today (Tuesday - play along) I was so envigorated by the warmth and blue skies that I wanted to do something outside. I really do think my mood is affected by the dreary days (one here and there is fine - you have to have some excuses to stay in all day and knit/crochet as you watch hours of TV!).

At first I wasn't sure what to do outside (clean out my desperately messy car, sit and crochet on my deck) and then I saw what Zipper had been doing to the cloth toy I foolishly bought for her and gave to her about 20 minutes prior (it looked sturdier than many others - but now I think that maybe only NASA could construct a toy sturdy enough for this 10 lb. tornado):

Look at her determination as she rips him apart, thread by thread:

Drunk on Power and Fuzz:

Obviously, Zipper needed something to do. So we went to the park for a walk around the track and a romp in the Dog Park area. Now its been a good long while since Zipper has been subjected to a walk (she has a short attention span), so I was worried she wouldn't be into it.

But she LOVED it - and how could she not? It was such a great day out there.

Enjoying the view across the meadow (soccer field):


On the scent of... I think its a....KILLER ROBIN!!!

Exploring the Mighty Pioneer Creek:

Surveying the land that she has just conquered in the name of Puppydom.

I can't wait to have more days like this one. They're coming.....right?
