It’s a funtastic family Friday at our house. Nothing really special is going on, just lots of miscellaneous things. First of all, today is Cinco de Mayo! If you want to celebrate with your pup, I have a great barkarita recipe from a few years back.
We finally have had some spring around here. Nelson is practicing strutting his stuff for his next dog show, whenever that may be. He is a silly guy, but we love him and he does have nice form.
The sure sign of spring is the Dandy Lions. Funny thing is that no one we know finds them dandy. Take a hot tip from me. Don’t give your mom a bouquet of these for Mother’s Day. She will most likely give you the rest of the day in your kennel with no snacks. Moms don’t like these yellow flowers.
Madison is trying to run around the yard but her furs are way too thick and out of control. They actually create some drag. Next week she is scheduled to have a spa day to get everything back in shape.
Olivia is, well, Olivia. She has some things coming up on her schedule. We all have to love her tail flag pole. I think she is going to start running with Mom since they both love running so much.
The whole family is happy cat bro Bert is going outside a lot. It keeps him out of our beds and furs. He is happier too and doesn’t yell at our mom as much as usual.
I’m sniffing for critters and I’m quite happy that I don’t have any sports scheduled. The rest of the family can hit the road on the weekends. I’m happy to stay home and sniff around here.
Lastly, a couple trees are starting to flower. Everything is a few weeks behind but it should explode in a couple weeks. Hope you have a funtastic family Friday too!
We are joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard for their Nature Friday blog hop.
Mom has been mowing over lots of dandelions in the green green grass that won’t stop growing with way too much rain lately. Happy Cinco de Mayo!
We have not needed to mow yet, maybe in a week or so the grass will be long enough. Spring is really late this year with the cold and snow we have had. Happy Friday!
Great to see all the GBGV family in such good form.
It’s a mystery why humans don’t like dandelions.
Toodle-oo!
Nobby (who was given a home fur trim and strip yesterday, and is hoping for warmer weather soon…)
We get home stripping and some thinning shears trims but then it is too much so we have to go to the spa.
ooh outdoor times.. that is a good time not only for your Bert ;O)
We are all happy when he is outside. Life is much easier in the house that way.
Dandelions are actually delicious! We take dandelions over all the nasty things with foxtail and other poky sticky seeds that tangle up our furs and dig into our skin. We have had a bumper crop of all things green this year because of all the rain we had.
We are not fans of all the weeds and stuff either, but none of us have ever tasted a dandelion.
YAY for fun family time in the great out of doors. Happy Cinco De Mayo
In my youth I loved making dandy lion necklaces.

I wonder if a dandelion necklace would go over better with Mom than a bouquet of them? It’s kind of risky to give her anything with those flowers I guess.
I want to move into your house. So much love n
True, there is quite a bit of lovin’, cuddlin’, snugglin’ and tons of fun and silliness too.
Oh ~ you look like you are having a delightful time ~ sweet photos ~ Xo
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

We have a lot of fun in the yard.
It’s so nice to see things Springing in Minnesota! It looks like you are having a blast playing in your yard together. Hopefully things won’t warm up too much for you this Summer. Our Pawrents are heading to Park Rapids, MN in July for a family reunion and would rather it was cool for their visit!

That is kind of up north, so it shouldn’t be too bad. We will have lots of mosquitos I’m sure by then.
Great Photos! I need a spa day too, if I am going to do more FCAT running. I think Madison and I have the same hair type! Mom has been threatening to shave me down for weeks now. Olive
No shaving, get your furs stripped properly, you’ll look great!
What a fun “little bit of everything” post ~ why are you in one of the pikshurs? Just sayin’ …
What fabulous pics! Looks like spring is beginning to unfurl its beauty.
It’s finally getting started.
It looks like a fun spring is in store, starting right now!
Slowing the blooms are starting to pop.
