Nina’s News – Garden Explorations

Hi everyone!  With this crazy spring weather we are having I’ve been spending a lot of time out in our backyard garden supervising the spring clean up.

Hey Mom! This perennial garden needs some work.

You should get these leaves off the plants.

You really should cut down this ornamental grass.

Perennial garden inspection complete.

After I checked the perennial garden and gave mom and dad their working orders I went to my favorite place in the yard.

If you can’t see the video you can view it here.  Mom didn’t have her video camera with her, but with the Nikon on burst it is almost the same.

I love crawling through that cave and then walking all around behind the bushes.  When all the leaves are out on the plants mom and dad have no idea where I am.  Sometimes I like to dig a hole under the shrub and lie in it.

After all that I like to take a break on the patio and survey my yard.

Perimeter patrol complete. Time for a rest.

Now I want to thank everyone that complimented me on looking so young for a girl of 14 in my previous post.  Many of you remarked that I didn’t have any grey on my muzzle.  Well I have to confess that the picture in that post was a few years old although it was still taken well within my senior years.  It is true that I don’t have much grey especially when you compare it to the German Shepherd dogs that I used to live with.  According to mom they started showing grey in their muzzles by the time they were two.  Here is a close up of my face taken just last week.

I do have a bit more grey in this picture than the one from the previous post, but very little compared to some 14 year olds.

Stay tuned for more news from my garden.  The bulbs are popping out of the ground and some of our flowering shrubs have bloomed too!
