Spring is in the air

What fun it is to unleash your dog in an off-leash park just after the snow has melted away and the park is full of dirty, muddy, yucky puddles...
 
If you’re lucky to have a dog that does not like the water – you don’t really care. I have seen dogs that deliberately don’t want to put their paws onto any wet surface ... not my lab though :)
 
This is the time of the year that she enjoys the most I think. It’s still cold enough so she does not get tired quickly and it is wet everywhere. All the smelly and stinky stuff that was buried under the snow is now right there – stinking and rotting away – my dog thinks she is in heaven.
 
Often she will roll into a particularly smelly stuff. Not only that – she tends to try hard to put this stinky stuff onto her cheeks – right where I kiss her good night! It takes forever to clean this stuff up – shish.
 
I wouldn’t miss it though. You can tell when she is happy – and she certainly is while running through all that mud. She is getting older and it is not as often that she gets excited about things as she used to. This is one thing she will always love and I vouch to bring her to the park often and let her dash through the mud.
 
Spring is in the air and my dog is happy ... so am I!

  • Are wolves saving Yellowstone's aspen trees from elk?
    Previous research has claimed that the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park in 1995 is helping restore quaking aspen in risky areas where wolves prowl.
