It is spring! The temps were in the upper 70s yesterday and are predicted to hit 80 today. We are actually warmer than Sarasota, Florida. (Sorry Mom.) The signs of spring are starting to appear - spring flowers both at home and at Gilda's, buds on the trees, grass starting to get green. And now the warmer temps. Hope they stay around. It's great geocaching weather but the cachemobile is laid up right now with brake trouble. I'm driving the old van with 160K+ miles on it, not reliable enough to take out caching all day anymore.
Max is enjoying this nicer weather, too. He has a spring in his step - actually boing, boing, boings as he chases balls. It's fun to watch him play and play with him. He had an emergency vet visit last week - seems he's not too good at cleaning his bottom yet. Actually it was us not noticing that a ball of poop got stuck in his hair back there - and it stoppered him up good and inflamed the area. Had to get a pain shot and medicine from the vet. He's all better now and we know that you have to check that area more thoroughly with long-haired dogs! That was not something we had to worry so much about with Dinah, our bassett. But now we know.
It's been a week or so of memories, too, as I think back to where my sisters and I were a year ago. London and Paris are lovely in the spring and I wish I were planning another trip there. Hopefully, though, I can convince Steve that we need to go visit Scott in Germany while he is still living there. Scott is coming home on leave in August, so a trip to see him would likely be in the summer of 2011.
