Heehee - my dog cracks me up. Sometimes I am glad I don’t have a yard so I don’t have to teach Dyson that it’s not always appropriate to dig. The canyon is free game - he can dig till his hearts content.
While the rest of the world waits breathlessly for spring to start sharing her joy in earnest, here in my canyon, the best has already come and gone. We got our super green and it is already drying out to a lovely shade of gold which unfortunately is chock full of foxtails. We only have a few days left, maybe a week or two if I stretch it, of relatively safe running. Soon, the foxtails will be sticky angels of death, and the baby rattle snakes will have hatched and will be quietly waiting in the weeds to strike at an unsuspecting Labrador tromping through. Sad, sad doggies will be relegated to long leash walks until school is out for the summer and then we can go play on their lovely grassy lawn. While I do love the idea of spring, the reality kinda sucks. And it just means summer is coming, which means lots of days that it’s too hot to do anything with the dogs other than sit quietly in the house trying not to have heat stroke. I know my mom is cringing right now, living in a part of the country that saw snow this weekend - yuck! Every season has it’s pleasure and it’s pain I guess. I just prefer the cooler weather and a canyon with no foxtails or snakes. Silly me.
By the way - thanks for the support Greg! (see comments about Dave) Stupid people are pretty cool - they are what keeps life entertaining, it’s that hateful stupid ones that suck! On the bright side - does hate email mean I have more readers?
