5-11-09 Tulips and Mud

Look at the vibrant, red tulips. They are in full bloom. You may also notice the bright sunlight enhancing these beauties. What Spring flowers have you been noticing lately?

This morning, we walked to the bus stop. When we returned home, I let Abby into the backyard, promising that I would soon join her for a game of fetch. When I was ready to play, I didn’t see her. I wondered, where is Pupper Wupper on this lovely, sunny day?? Is she frolicking with some butterflies? Is she splashing in her pool? Could she be prancing around, looking for a squirrel to chase?

I was looking forward to finding her in any of these cheery, bright scenarios.

 A muddy dog! In fact, a muddy dog hunkered down in some shade is what I found! Just look at her paws?! These warm days that are so lovely to me, are hot for Abby. It’s only May, the summer heat is yet to come. I guess she is getting acclimated to warmer days. I think she was enjoying cool mud and shady relaxation. Kind of like her own spa. . . 

What do you do to escape from the heat?
