It's spring!

It's finally spring! How can I tell? It was warm enough to walk the beagles, aka "hogdogs" yesterday. After spending the early afternoon volunteer teaching a computer class to seniors, I ran home and tooks the girls out for their first walk since fall. These girls like to go and smell everything. They are nothing but noses with feet. I gave up on teaching them to heel and let them wander a bit so they don't miss anything as long as they don't pull. They love garbage eve.

I almost walked out without the pretty little blue plastic bags. Fortunately I remembered, since Baby decided the one place she had to leave a deposit was on the sidewalk of someone's driveway. Not a nice thing to come home to. Drive up the driveway, get out of the car in the garage, take a sniff.....kind of the way I feel when I come home and find a surprise on the master bathroom floor.

So we put in our usual 2 daily miles that we walk in nice weather. We ran into a few nieghbors. My ferocious watch dogs were all over them, kissing and whining with joy. They found a few juicy squirrels to frighten. No bunnies this time. We did almost get attacked by a large dog, but that is pretty much a daily occurrance. These studly attack dogs seem to be threatened by two spayed little beagles walking in harnesses.

Then I left them home and went back to substitute teach a Word class, covering paragraph formatting. Rough stuff; all those margin changes. After that, I came home, ran upstairs to the bathroom, found no surprises and proceeded to literally howl with Baby over her good behavior. She only recently started howling with me. I am not sure who taught whom, but it is fun. Dogs do bay with joy. I have to remember not to do that when I am in a public place, though.
