Really Spring?

I promise, no more tricks about spring this time. Robins have arrived here again, along with quite a few other birds. It's fun to leap after them when they flutter around when we are on walks. Mom says I'm not supposed to do that, because I'm a scent hound, and not a sight hound. My way of thinking? Any excuse to misbehave is good enough for me! Mom also says that there's an old wives tale that it has to snow 3 times on the robin's back after they return. Oh well. I don't care as much about the weather as the humans do. There are plenty of things to sniff in any season.

Because of the nice weather, we have been seeing more people when we are out on our walks. The last time we were out, we saw 3 bicycles and 6 people walking - one with a stroller. Pretty soon there will be lots of kids out playing baseball and softball. That's always kind of interesting. As long as they don't screech too much, it's OK.



And to make up for the trick with the tulips last time, here's a picture of some tulips that are actually growing in my backyard. Not real smart, because if that snow does come along again, they are not going to be in real good shape!



And, a picture of me - for no particular reason. As you can see, I was again doing my best to be uncooperative. This is actually the best picture of the bunch. Mom decided she was going to post it anyway, just to show how contrary I can be.
