Happy Belated Birthday

Hilde got a very nice birthday card from my friend Shannon's Mom, Marilyn. I read it to Hilde over lunch and set it on the island in the kitchen. Well, I have long said Hilde and the kitty Willy are in cahoots. Willy (I can't prove this) most likely kicked/knocked the card off of the island allowing Hilde to have free access. The picture below shows the result. It was a very sweet card with a golden on it. As Ray pointed out we know Hilde really enjoyed the card. So thank-you for the card and Hilde really, really enjoyed it...

More happy spring!

Here is Hilde on our walk this morning! Yeh for spring! Yeh for leaves!

Here is Hilde by the flowers in front of our house. She really would like to be eating them...

Hilde's sister

When Hilde's sister Anu passed away last spring we were given tulips by her vet Dr. Goodell. We planted them last fall and they have come up beautifully. They are a lovely reminder of our sunshine Anu.

Happy Spring Roll!

What's better than a spring roll in the grass? Maybe eating tulips-- not pictured here.

Wait- did I say grass? Dirt. Roll in the dirt.

Happy Puppy de Mayo!

I have been saving this outfit since I went to Mexico in March! Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Hilde is not as excited about this event...

My new favorite picture of Hilde

Look at her! Such joy! So happy! Oh to live like a puppy.

New pictures of Hilde

Here is a busy spring Saturday for Hilde, out of order.

Here she is crashed on the bed (white comforter-- somebody was NOT thinking) with her really gross favorite toy near her head.

Here she is zipping around the beach. Look at that floppy ear! So cute!

More fun on the beach. It was bright and early. A little before 7.

Here is Hilde looking for fun things in the water.

Here is Hilde chasing a loon. Oops. At least loons seem pretty smart.
