Why Bella, Why?

Spring has actually arrived! The maple trees are dropping green pollen all over the streets, there are teeny buds on the oaks, the tulips are in full bloom, and we're due for a freeze tonight.

Bella is delighted that the earthworms are wiggling their way into the sunshine. She likes to gnaw on them for a while and then rub the mess on her face.

How's the progress of spring in your corner of the planet? Do your pets do disgusting things?

Dutch does that scent-marking thing at the dog park. It is funny to see her put her cheek on the ground and run across the field that way. And I understand the idea of wanting to smell like the other dogs so they won't attack you. But when I think about what exactly she is rubbing her face in -- GAH!

Dogs and bodies, man. They are disgusting.

Amen.

And yet we welcome them into our arms and our lives and (some) our beds because they’re such excellent lovers.
