Spring, Recovery and Earth Day


It’s been a horrid winter – my paw’s been awfully sore,
But spring’s now in the air and in my step.
So with keen anticipation, I’m standing by the door,
As I was weary, aching, low, now I am full of pep!


A brand new day is dawning here in sunny Aberdeen,
And I see no point in lingering inside.
The world beyond awaits us, unsullied, fresh and green,
And I’m all bushy tailed, bright eyed!


I bounce past granite houses to the gates of Duthie Park,
I greet my pals and savour every smell.
Oh I am truly joyful; life is once again a lark,
So I pause for just a moment to give thanks that all is well!


PS I am so proud to have taken part in Louis Dog Armstong's Earth Day Challenge. Click here to see all the entries.

And finally, with my Boffin hat on, I would like to congratulate these 28 Very Good Dogs who yesterday took part in the March for Science.

  1. Gosh Bertie what wonderful photography. You do look like you have a some pep in your step. By the way Bertie have you tried that special icecream recipe from Bob and Sophie in France, as yet? It sounds like a lovely spring and summer desert. Toodles.....

    Bertie lad, this lifted MY spirits, to see you bounding in the park like that. It is just a darned shame about those pawsies, but I sure hope the improving weather will be pawsitive... Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  10. Gosh dog gone it I missed Louis Dog Armstong's Earth Day Challenge, we have a hard time finding who is doing what with the Blogville Community Calendar not running. Earth Day should be 365 days a year. We are just a pea spinning in a galaxy that needs a lot of care.
    Glad you got a spring back to your step Bertie.
    Thanks for being a friend
    Sweet William The Scot
