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.

Bertie regains his bounce.

Gail says that a week ago she was thinking of rechristening me 'Deflated Bertie'. 

But now she knows that Toughness and Resilience are my middle names.

And anyway, how could I fail to get better again quickly when so many dear friends, old and new, were wishing me well?

Thank you all so very much.

Normal service will resume on Saturday when I'll be celebrating Angel Jazzi's Taco Day with a quite, er, unique concoction.
