Only kidding, April Fools!
“That’s not funny, Will”
Today is our second real-life-actual-for-serious-spring-weather-day in a row! There is hope. Not only that, but yesterday we actually saw something which I almost forgot existed.
A blaze of color and movement caught our eye. We haven’t seen much movement or color in the past five months. After I rubbed my eyes though, it was still there…
A robin! Spring must really be here
It was just one of those days where your tail wags a little higher than usual
As we meandered around the park, I realized it was the first day this year we have gone outside not to do anything in particular, but just to be outside. It’s a great feeling to have sun over our heads and grass under our feet/paws again.
Eko was so happy, he decided to give planet Earth a big hug.
“Oh, how I’ve missed you.”
We’re looking at spring showers for the next few days, but provided karma doesn’t kick me in the butt for making a joke about another storm, I think we’ve seen the last of year’s snow.
As is our annual custom, Eko and I are taking the day off. The rest of the world has foolishness covered for today, but we have 364 other days to fill with nonsense, shenanigans and general tomfoolery.
I KNEW it was a joke because we get your weather right after you!!!!!! We are enjoying the warmer temps too!
We had a dusting of snow but lots of ice this morning and are getting a snow storm on Thursday, no joke! Hope you don’t have to get any of the snow after it leaves our place. We are starting to remember and like grass under our paws even if it is still brown.
It was cold up here in the Northland with a few ice pellets. I got sooooo cold with the wind when Mommy and I went out for me to do my business I was shivering when she picked me up to bring me back inside.–Steffi
don’t mess with mother nature – we sure don’t want her mad and giving us more snow!! ha ha – glad you guys got outside – muffin found a stick and had so much fun -i know she is glad its spring
You had us then, I was thinking poor Eko in that snow storm 🙂 Happy April Fools Day xxoxxx
Mollie and Alfie
you really got me :o) I thought: Oh nooooooooooo! Have a great tusday and I agree, we have 364 days for funny jokes … I will ask my staff for some ideas :o)
You almost got me! I live here too and was like, wait what I didn’t see that!
Going outside to do nothing in particular….heaven for an animal.
You laugh, but that’s ACTUALLY what spring looks like here. No joke!
(Yes, I’m jealous)
You know you jinxed yourself don’t you…
I really hope that all of you folks in the snowy states don’t see anymore of that stuff till 2015!
Ha! When I saw that I panicked a bit because we usually get Chicago weather hours later in Michigan… nope, still nice out.
My dogs have really appreciated the warmer weather for walking.
Glad you are both enjoying some warmer weather 🙂
Wow your robins look so different to ours…our robins are squat little fat things!! 😀

What a funny looking robin, whee were squeaking at one in the garden today. You must have nearly forgotten what grass looked like, how awful! Grass is the bestest!

Hilarious! It sure fooled me. Glad you’re getting some spring.
What an adorable face.
Great post, Will and Eko! You got me! Love the shot of Eko hugging the Earth. So glad you have promising signs of Spring after such a torrid Winter. Enjoy!
You had us going there for a minute! HAPPY sunshine, spring to you!
Wally & Sammy
Enjoy the spring weather, hope it lasts!
You nearly got me! I was like, oh Will must be in Minnesota or North Dakota (didja hear about their massive blizzard yesterday?!). Thank goodness Chicago was spared. Bring on spring!
oh you pesky pair! I really felt for you then. lol
Yes, your robins seem different to ours, still it’s just as exciting to see one and I love the photo Eko ‘hugging the earth’
Hugs, Carrie (Myfie, Ellie and Millie) x
An Earth hug! Perfection!
It does feel great to finally get out without winter coats, gloves and boots (ha typed boats first). We’ve just enjoyed two days in a row and today a nice 8 C or 48F….hey feels tropical really.
Thank you for hugging Earth Eko, that will bring us spring luck for sure. I haven’t spotted a Robin yet, but then again, it’s only been two days, hehe.
