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.
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.
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!
You look so young! Just beautiful. Good job supervising in the yard

Isn’t Spring FUN. Full of all fresh new smells and stuffs.
Wowzers! You are so brave to go right in a cave all by yourself! I don’t think I would dare do that!
What a cool cave!!! I’d love to hide out in that!
Play bows,

PS: Dave sends thanks for the get-well wishes! He’s not allowed to go down stairs yet – and the Studio is on our lower level. So far, he’s helping Mom with hand work that she can bring up here to the main floor! Oh! And he’s 14, too!!
Vof Nina! You really don’t look 14 and I think you look very sweet! I wish I could come to visit your cave – do you have any treasures there?!
Hugs from Nero!
PS. Great video!
Hi Nina! Looks like you are doing a great job supervising the spring clean up. Our tulips are already up, can you believe it!
Your pal, Pip
Nina, you look utterly fabulous!
Our garden is in a fairly sorry state as well. I have no idea when #1 plans to do anything about tidying up. She keeps going horse-visiting instead…
Woofs,

PeeEssWoo: I’ve akhtually just returned from watching the golfers – but I needed to make sure Mom wasn’t getting into any trouble in the house!
I think your grey furs are quite charming. I like a gal with some experience and wisdom.
Your cave! Brilliant! Bet it is a great place to cool off on a hot day.

We still think you’re Beautiful with a capitol B!
Great job our in the garden. I hope Mom moved all the leaves outta the way for all of the plants.
Hugs,

Sending you kisses,
