Signs of Spring






Here I am looking for signs of spring! They are overwhelming me! It is so pretty and there are so many interesting things to sniff. I like running through the soft soil and digging my nose into the newly planted flower beds. I think Mom really appreciates this, because I see her digging all the time. I try and do my part to help Mom and Dad as they work in the yard. I am so glad that God made the springtime! I can smell the baby bunnies, but I haven't seen them yet. Soon we will be racing around the yard, but it is no fair that they can fit under the fences and I can't. I hear lots of birds singing, and I see them building their nests. I like the bright yellow goldfinches and bright red cardinals best. I guess you could say that I like bright colors, and the spring is the brightest and best!

The girls must be at the kennel




It was so great to have the girls home for Christmas that I wasn't quite prepared for how lonely it would be when they left again. They seem to be gone a long time at the kennel! Paul and Petra come and go, so he must pick her up from the boarding kennel, but I think he should bring Martina home too!

I was so glad when we finally got some snow! It is so lovely and white. I love to rub my belly in the snow when we are going for a walk. But this time when the snow came, it got covered with ice! I could walk right across it! When I went chasing after those pesky squirrels I would go sliding! Most of that snow melted away and then we got some of the fluffier stuff! That is lots of fun, and I can chase squirrels just fine!

Happy days





Yesterday was a very good day!
I was placed in my boudoir for part of the morning, and judging from the silence upstairs, no one was home. Martina and Mom came back after a while with many paper bags that smelled of food. I tried to investigate and see if there was anything that needed to be eaten, but I was shooed away. I did ascertain that there was no kibble, but the food in the bags smelled mighty fine, and I hope that maybe I can sample it sometime.
I helped mom in the kitchen yesterday too. I like to sit at a strategic spot right by the sink and trash can. That way I can inspect everything that is being thrown out. I always love to be in the kitchen when Mom is cooking because everything smells so good!
I love it when Martina practices her oboe and viola. I like to go in and out of her room to check on her, I don't believe in too much solid practicing. Usually her practicing is a family affair. Ching likes to ride in Martina's pocket, and Klaus loves to whistle to Martina's toes. We are very musical cohorts.
Today has been a good day too. From the bustle I can tell that there are Sabbath preparations. Klaus and Ching have clean cages, the rooms and bathrooms are all tidy, and the vacuuming is underway. The only bad part of the cleaning is that all of the toys I have arranged in various places of the house somehow always get put neatly away in my toy basket. No matter, that is a problem easily fixed.
I hope you all have a great Sabbath!
