After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger.

I don't know what the groundhog is doing today, but in the Adirondacks of NY it's spring!

Re: Spring
Oh yeah! Groundhog day, that's right. I love the robin picture. 
I have been after my husband to MOW the yard. No kidding. The daffodils started blooming on 1-31
and the trees are budding big time. No matter what the groundhog says, this was not much of a winter, I dread the upcoming summer for that reason. 20 degrees above normal right now? Please, don't keep that up. It would make it 100+20 this summer.

Re: Spring
nice pic!
We were starting to go into spring, and suddenly it is freezing
Tomorrow they predict snow, and my tulips were already getting their noses above the soil...? Strange seasons lately...

Re: Spring
this year has been weird!! Very warm for winter. I dont want to complain though because last year the snow was a pain! I was plowing every day and the kids missed so much school.
This morning I heard a morning Dove, I never hear them until spring.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences. - Location: Victoria BC
Re: Spring
Yes, very mild winter here too.
The other day when walking, I passed by like 25 Robins flying from tree to tree along the trail. It was quite amazing!

Re: Spring
I kinda wish it would get a little colder to kill off all the bugs before spring gets here, but then again Merlin is already starting to shed, so hopefully it doesn't get to cold!

Re: Spring
I was wondering if others are blowing their coats, too....Gesyer is, big-time.
I've decided that it's related to the length of daylight rather than temperatures, but what do I know? (Not much, you?
)
I love my furminator, but man, after a grooming session, I'm covered with hair, spitting it out of my mouth, and trying to understand why she wants to eat it...yuck!

Re: Spring
Oh my, it WAS spring here last week. 60's and up during the day.... hens laying eggs like crazy. the Maple trees are in bloom, the cherries, the star and Japanese Magnolias... even some azaleas! My Daffodils are all blooming and my Tulips are 6 " above ground.
Robins are back and wrens were picking a spot to nest. Then WHAMO! Winter. For the past few days it has been COLD!
Xena, that little stinker, had the nerve to actually PANT on a walk in 60 degree weather. Just wait till she hits a 100 degree summer day!!!!

Re: Spring
I think I swept enough DS and JRT hair from my floor this week to make my own new designer dog with it!
Horse is just starting to shed also. Everyone seems to be getting itchy with the loose hair.
Days are definitely longer----it's on its way!

Love Bianca!! I used to raise JRT's! They are the best big dogs in little bodies! My dogs are shedding like crazy, too! I am a professional pet groomer by trade and my dogs are groomed often, but I'm still finding fur-ball dust bunnies all over the floor...uuggh!
