Spring Has Sprung

Spring has finally come to my house. I thought it would never get here. These are grape hyacinths and they smell real good( at least that's what the mom says, she wouldn't let me go out front and smell them, bah).
So I went out to explore the backyard.
This is where I was going, to get me some inca doves. They are the smallest dove; snack size, I say. But I was stopped before I could climb the tree.
The holly is in bloom and smells heavenly. The monarchs think so too.

The puppies have grown so much. But I'm not gonna play with them, too many sharp little teeth.
They've gotten big enough to eat crunchies on their own.

Even I get a little snack now and again. This time it wasn't dog food, it was my favorite, a cricket.
They play themselves out and and just nap wherever they are.


On the way to the computer, I had the mom take this picture of HGL to show how greedy he can be when he eats. He was muttering, "Mine, all mine. Nope, I'm not sharin'. These cruncies are mine."
