YEA! Winter is FINALLY taking it's leave and nicer days are starting to become more and more frequent. I can tell that both Bo & Bella are about as happy as I am with the weather change. They are more excited about going outside and they spend more time peeking around the backyard than they have been able to for the last few months.

So Jon and I were Spring cleaning the backyard... I was on landmine patrol and Jon was trimming branches. Bo & Bella were doing the toughest of jobs... overseers. But I'm not sure how seriously they were taking their jobs.

Bo started out well, "A little higher dad!"

But before long he started laying down on the job, "Come on, it's hard work standing up"

Soon after the both of them were sitting side by side gossiping about the parents:

"So I hear they have some bath plans for us in the future, that's CRAZY talk!"

Bella then fell asleep on the job:

Or so I thought until I realized that she was just sun bathing and trying to get a little color on her tum:

Hey mom, you are in my light.Bo on the other hand tends to shy away from the harmful rays of the sun when he can and finds a nice shady spot to lie in...

Bo, "Aren't you guys done yet? Wake me when it's time to go in."

Going to the Park!

Bo & Bella have a love/hate relationship with the car. They LOVE going places and they will eagerly jump into the SUV. But as soon as we get going they get restless, too warm (even in winter!) and oh so drooly! Well tell them to lay down and calm down, so Bo will lay down and take the WHOLE back seat so poor Bella has to try to maneuver herself into the little corner Bo allows her. Inevitably she'll accidentally step on him and then he is up and dripping drool all over the seat in front of him. The only time that they are ever fully relaxed in the car is when they are exhausted.

This is from last weekend, we went to a dog park that isn't too far away from us, and the car ride was almost more entertaining than the park itself.

Mmmmmm, smell that fresh country air!

Hey, look! Cows! I knew something smelled funny.

Bo: Skootch over, you're hogging the backseat!

Bella: You move! I'm trying to get to the window.

Yea! We're almost there! I see the other dogs!

Bella: Yeah, I'm done... One lap was enough for me.

Bella: Mooooom, Bo's taking the whole backseat, he won't let me lay down and... Wait, is that home? Why are we going home??
