It Looks Like Spring

Suddenly, overnight, some of the trees have flowered. It actually is starting to looks like spring around here. Morgan and Sky are discussing it.

 The nosy pooches want to take a look outside the yard and see what the neighborhood looks like, too.

They heard some kids chattering up the block from us and had to hurry over to the fence to take a look.

 We're all enjoying the warm, sunny days and spending lots of time outside.

 Norma Jean and I are doing our homework outside, too. We're taking loose leash walks in the woods and practicing sit, down and stay in the yard and the driveway.

 Yesterday was her first day in class. She was a little distracted by the other dogs, there were a couple of barkers in the group and the class went on a little too long. She started out well and did everything she was told, but after about 30 minutes, she tuned out and just wanted to watch the other dogs.

One funny thing did happen at the end of class. We handed in our name badge and were starting toward the door when we passed a large mirror on the wall. It's there so you can watch your dog when you leave it in a stay. Norma Jean hadn't noticed it before, but we walked toward it on the way out. Suddenly she stopped in her tracks and started wagging her tail and got  very excited. My thought is that she thought it was Noah coming to join her. They look very much alike.
