Bouncing Bertie brings you...

...Spring in the Park

And spring in his step.

I want you to know that I might be well into middle age, and slowing down a bit, but I have not yet totally lost my bounce! 

(Likewise my owner, who is about the same age in dog years...)

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.
