I was playing chuck-it with my dog (mutt that looks mostly BC, LOL) and she went for a ball under a blooming bush and came out with pollen all over her head! Hilarious. Today I took her out to the green farmland around the local horse race track to play with her best doggie friend, a GSD belonging to a good friend of ours, and they ended up in the pond. My car now smells like swamp water and she had to put up with a bath when we got home. We are quite a bit ahead on spring here in central Kentucky.

There were dogs playing everywhere though, they were all so happy. We ran into a collie mix and a beagle mix, both were 10, happy as could be even when they played a bit with our going on 2 years old, crazy pair.

Layla is sacked out with my husband now. A tired dog is a happy dog!

Hope to get there this week.

I'm surprised they're already budding this early though. The tree in my backyard is a cherry blossom (which needs a serious haircut this year or I'll have no sun at all in my yard). Where I live they're everywhere. It's rather a shame that they bloom out for such a short time before all the petals fall off though.

Boo loved it when the petals fell. They all seem to come off at once so it's like pink blizzard for a couple of days. The whole yard gets a thick blanket of them. They're slippery as hell when they get wet though, so as pretty as the pink blanket is, if it rains or drizzles or we even get a lot of dew they have to be raked up.

I think Yoshi will love them. He generally loves things that fly or blow around on the ground.
