It's almost spring...and he knows it.As soon as we step outside and he gets a whiff of my sneakers, he begins whining. I call his name and look him in the eye as his ears perk up, his dog smile frozen as he studies my face.
"Walkies?" I ask him. Immediately he jumps up, then runs around in anticipation. He has looked forward to this all winter: time to get back moving and journey down the dirt road with his people.
We don't go far, just up to the bridge a half mile away. The traffic is loud and busy so we don't linger. We like the solitude and the quietness that awaits in our backyard.
The cats all greet him as if he were back from an exotic getaway, and he acknowledges them with nonchalance; secure in the fact that he is indeed, man's best friend.
It's almost spring. We all are ready...
Tune in to Skywatch for more beautiful skies from around the world.

What lovely pictures and sentiments... yes, spring will be here soon. I hope we have more of the in between days... not too hot, not too cold. I love those. My Daisy is a velcro dog... stuck to her people... preferring to lounge on the couch than chase butterflies. Squirrels.. that is a different story.
Lovely silhouettes.
Beautiful photo essay. The start of your spring is the start of our autumn!
Excellent shots of you and your dog, our dogs too can tell the warmth is on its way.
Have a great weekend!

Ahhh to have weather nice enough to walk in. This has been the longest winter! Still below zero here in MN. Cant wait to get Reggie out for a stroll
I enjoyed reading your viewpoint of walking with your dog; reminds me of when I walked with our dog “Buck” years ago. I like all 3photos; the first one is great with your dog running towards you; that says it all.
Great photos. The first one is perfectly framed! Thanks for visiting Liege City Daily Photo.
