Spring!

With the official start of spring, Sunlight has become a t-shirt haven. There are few things better than skiing in a t-shirt on a bright, sunny day. Seeing how every day here is sunny, you really can't beat it! The snow softens up beautifully in the afternoon and almost reminds me of skiing back east. Of course, it is very important to wear sunscreen constantly (don't worry Mom). I was out in the sun for only 5 minutes and already felt it burn. Colorado is strong, but it feels so good after those months of cold.
The dogs are noticing the change in weather too. They'd rather sleep outside and I've often caught them tanning. The temperature is also affecting their appetite. Since they have little use for insulation at this time of year, the dogs are all cutting back on what they eat. Well, with the exception of the puppies...they still scarf down whatever is in reach.
Fury is feeling the weather as well. Being stuck inside with a swollen face and the cone can be a little depressing. Every now and then, she catches her reflection in the mirror and her head drops from embarrassment. We've been going on walks together and as soon as we round the corner to the house, she pulls hard on the leash to go back up into the dog yard. I'll let her back up as soon as she gets those sutures out. Until then, my little girl is going to have to make do with sleeping on the couch and eating beef and gravy dinners.
