Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy and Sunny this week for Nature Friday~~

Farmer Will has plowed his field and soon the workers will come and plant veggie plants.   I wonder if it will be squash again this year?

The Quince was in bloom.  

We found a double Daffie at Miss Amy's house~

Right in front of our garage doors - this Viola decided that it was the perfect spot to grow and flower~

The gorgeous Redbud tree is in bloom♥

Happy Friday, everybody~

Love ya lots♥

The flowers are really coming alive everywhere!

The grape hyacinths are so cute!

A neighbor's star magnolia is in bloom~

We found more bleeding hearts!

We discovered a Bradford pear on a wooded lot~

At home, our pink magnolia is in full bloom~

Our weeping cherry was just gorgeous - until the windy days blew all of the pretty flower petals.

The OutFox Field Guard

 I'm sure you all remember me eating wild animal poo and me having to see my vet and go on antibiotics.   Mom never wants to repeat that again if we can help it.   Lulu and Bean and their Dada suggested the OutFox Field Guard for me to wear instead of a muzzle. 

Mom keeps calling it my "no more poo bonnet" and today was my first time wearing it outside.    Mom kept asking me, "Are you in there, Duke?"

I haven't been on my lunge line since we had snow!  Do I look like I'm from outerSpace?☺

It was great racing around the yard and I couldn't grasp anything and eat it and mom was so pleased.   Me - not so much as I couldn't play with my ball.    I only stayed outside about 15 minutes.   Mom asked me if I wanted to go inside and I raced to the garage door.   

If anyone would like to see the instructions that come with it~~

We need to wait for a cooler day as I don't see me wearing it for long when it gets hot out but I did have fun for my short spurt in the yard!

Happy Tuesday!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Sunny today for Nature Friday~~

It sure feels good to be out and about after two weeks of stuck inside.  

Mom took pictures of what was blooming in our yard while we were under house arrest.   

The Trout Lily was in bloom~

The Pachysandra is blooming~

Landlady Maryanne's Ornamental Pear is flowering~

Our Weeping Cherry is blooming~

Our Magnolia was just getting started~

Mom's pink Bleeding Heart had flowers~

The latest news on Mrs Robin - she abandoned her nest.  She laid her eggs and sat on them for a couple of days.   Maybe it was the crows or the squirrel that scared her off?  Could she know that the eggs would never hatch?  The nest is still in place with the eggs untouched.  

Happy Friday, everyone!

Love ya lots♥

Wonderful Wednesday

 We just came from seeing my vet and I am a free pup!   I can go back to walking and running and I couldn't be any happier!

We did jump the gun this morning and we did go for a short walk.  I was very excited and happy to get back to it!

I missed you, duckies!

Mom and I can finally enjoy the spring blooms!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Love ya lots♥

Thank-You Tuesday

 Mom and I thank you for all of your helpful and positive feedback!  When mom returns from the grocery store, the britches come off and we will see how it goes.  

We think it will go just fine~

Love ya lots♥

Monday Poll

 It's been ten days since my big boy surgery.   My vet's instructions were for me to stay exercise restricted for the next ten-fourteen days and I should be wearing my cone continuously during this time.    I've been a very good boy wearing my cone and then my dandy britches all day and all night long.  The limited exercise has been very difficult as I am a Spaniel pup.   The Trazodone was okay but three tabs would have been more effective than one😉  

My appointment to see my vet is on Wednesday at 9am.    Seeing as I have been such a good boy and it has been ten days - what do you think about me going britches-free on Tuesday?  Mom thinks waiting one more day isn't going to make me heal any more or any less plus she is anxious to see how  "nosy" I am going to be with my surgery site.   She's also has had enough of taking my britches off and then on again every time I go outside for business!

So what do you think?

An anxiously waiting for your opinion,

Duke

My First Easter

An Evening Arrival

 Last night Amazon arrived and the package was for me!  Mom bought me dandy britches so I can get rid of my cone!

My tail is missing, mom!

There - that's better☺

They're soft and they fit and they're not sliding off my hiney.

I love my new dandy britches!  Thank you, mom!

Happy Saturday, everyone~

Love ya lots♥
