spring is here cuz it's raining awardifications!

hihi everybuddy!!

it's been a super busy weekend at my house.  the garage got painted and the lawn got mowed and pine straw got put down and 5 trees got planted.  whew!  i'm all kinds of tired just thinkin' about it.

here's me with one of my new trees in the backyard that i am totally, absolutely not allowed to touch under any circumstance what-so-evarrr.  it's a carolina sapphire, and it's kinda bluey-green, and it smells totally fab!  mama says it's a type of cypress, and it was bred here in south carolina to be heat and drought tolerant.  that's a good thingie!

 yes, mama, i promise on my box of greenies that i won't touch the tree.  i'm just lookin'!!!

anywho, since mama's been workin' her hiney off, this is just gonna be short 'n sweet.  but i just HAD to post to thank my super nice friendz miss dory and miss puddles for awardifying the booker man!

fridays with asa: the great outdoors

hello there, my furry friends!  a wonderful friday to you, and i hope this day finds you well.

as you may have ascertained, i am an introspective dog.  i enjoy pondering life's deep questions and mysteries.  some of my best thinking takes place outdoors, rightly so, as it is my favorite place to be.  oh, do not mistake me; few things can surpass snuggling under the covers with my mom or dad, but there is just something quite inspirational about being outside.

at home, you will most likely find me on my back deck.  i stand and survey my domain, which is teeming with smells and sights and sounds.  when my senses have been overwhelmed, i break for a respite and bask in the warmth of the sun.  i find this most satisfactory.

then there are those special occasions where my mom and dad take me and my little brother for a glorious hike or camping trip.  it is on these outings that i truly grasp the magnitude of the world before my eyes.  i am but one dog, a tiny pin prick on this great landscape.  assuredly, it is a humbling experience.

i hope that all of you will take the opportunity this weekend to enjoy some time outside and consider the majestic beauty before you.
by the way, i wanted to personally thank you all for your marked concern over the bath time pictures from wednesday's post.  though my little brother and i have clearly mastered the art of appearing forlorn, i assure you that we were each handsomely rewarded post-bath with a delectable greenie.
good day!
