Park Weather!


Lulah has been looking forward to this day all winter!!

First, it's important to gather the entire gang.

Hello Mr. Maxwell!

A friendly greeting. Everyone loves a hotdog!

Next, let's find the perfect location in the park.

Piper gives little Maxwell tips when playing around the Maggie train.

"Yes, Maggie..watch out for our little friend!"

"Enough already! Let's get this on!"

A meeting of the minds.

And it begins..

And we thought Maxwell had to watch out for Maggie!

Kiss kiss.

Maxwell is done! Time for his nap.

It looks like the girls are all worn out!
Until next time..Woof!

Pups in the News!

Leap Note (via The Writer's Almanac)

Today is Leap Day. Once every four years, we tack on an extra day at the end of February to calibrate our human-made calendar to the natural world — the Earth does not orbit the sun in an even 365 days, but rather in 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds.
This extra day has given rise to several traditions and superstitions over the years, especially in the Middle Ages. In many European countries, women were allowed to propose to men on Leap Day. In Greece, it's bad luck to marry in a Leap Year at all, let alone on Leap Day itself. In Scotland, it's considered unlucky to be born on Leap Day, and it was once believed that Leap Day babies, or "leaplings," as they were called, were sickly and hard to raise. If you are born on February 29, you're eligible to join the Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies.
