Katie here. Mama says I can show you a little bit from my back yard. She and I went ‘sploring out there this afternoon.

At first I was reluctant to go out with her cause I thought she was going to put me in my kennel. Don’t get me wrong, I love spending time in my kennel, but only when I want to be out there, not just cause she’s tired of my whining politely requesting treats.

Mama and I love spring, so many subtle colors! And then there are the brilliant colors of spring. I like those too!

I think my folks have done a pretty good job of keeping my yard looking nice. I should probably appreciate them more.

This week mama and I weeded one of the gardens. I was the motivator and she was the labor. Every time she stood up to stretch I barked at her to get back to work. She said I’m something of a taskmaster!

I told her that as a princess I expected the best out of my people. She sort of nodded wearily.

We have lots more gardens to weed, I hope she maintains my high expectations.

This evening mama took me to a neighbor’s land again. We got to run through the woods and I had a wonderful time, but it sort of wore me out, so I’ll have to share that adventure another time.

I hope you all are enjoying spring wherever you are!

Talk later, your gal Katie.
