DogDaz Zoo: Wet Paws, Fashion Crimes, & My Formal Complaint to Spring

Someone said spring is coming. I’m not totally convinced, because just last week the yard was still full of slushy, squishy nonsense. But I have noticed the air feels warmer. Warmer usually means rain and fog… which I do not approve of.

Let me be clear: I hate rain. I hate wet paws. I especially hate the post-walk towel ambush where Mom rubs my feet like she’s polishing furniture. Highly undignified.

And don’t even get me started on those ridiculous coats. Yes, they’re “cute.” Yes, they’re “practical.” No, I do not enjoy waddling around sounding like a crinkly snack bag.

We are tired of the cold.
We are tired of the wet.
We would like to file a formal complaint with the Weather Department.

Most of all, we want our yard back.

Where are my bushes?
Where are my flowers?
Where are the good sniffing spots that aren’t buried under icy mush?

Slush Paws

Having fun

I’m so cute

Walk Please

Spring means sun puddles on the porch.
Spring means long walks without shivering.
Spring means squirrels to supervise and birds to politely bark at.
Spring means grass that smells interesting again.

So yes, I am ready.

Ready to zoom.
Ready to sniff.
Ready to roll in things I’m probably not supposed to.

Dear Spring:
Please arrive soon.

Your friend, Jolie, the thirsty for it to warm up, Shih Tzu

DogDaz Zoo: A Tail of 2 Doggies and Bugs

 

It is already mid-May, WOW, time is flying, We want to wish you all the wonders that May flowers, pollen, and bugs bring, Yes, Bugs!! They are Bearnard’s favorite thing. Our annual cicadas are brooding. These are not the big 17-year cicadas (click link to read about them), but he still has a great time jumping and stomping. At night, he never wants to come inside because he waits for any movement on the ground, so he can bounce.

I can’t get a video of his antics because it is too dark at night to see them on screen, so here is a cute video of the tail-wagging Goofballs instead!

Enjoy your spring!!!

Spring Iris and Azalea are wonderful backdrops to the zoo. And I can’t forget the pink snow.

Wonderful Wednesday: DaffyDillies

 

Year after year the spring flowers around the neighborhood start to pop-up in April. It is a wonderful time to walk around and see spring in action. But, Mom is not allowed to walk dogs yet so she is going back through some memory photos to enjoy her time with us in the sunshine. Soon she says, very soon she is hoping that she will get the OK to saddle up and walk 140 lbs of dog weight. We promise we won’t pull you down Mom, unless we see a squirrel, or another dog, or a fox, or….. oh, I guess that is why you are only allowed to walk 17 lb Charles.

Black and White Sunday: Bright Sunshiny Day

Somedays that bright sunshine comes through the big window and it makes me feel so warm and cozy.

I like the sun, but I don’t like spring.  It makes me sneeze and it makes my eyes run.

I like the flowers, though. They are really fun to walk through. And I like the sun.

What part of spring do you like?
