It must be spring

Here in Chicago we have been in a weird weather time.  When it’s sunny and nice looking outside it’s actually kind of cold.  And when it’s grey and windy it’s actually kind of warm.  But we are used to it here.  We have a saying “If you don’t like the weather wait an hour and it will change.”  I’m sure they say that in other spots in the country as well.  But today I know that spring is in the air because Josie (a.k.a Toasty, The Big Red Dog, BRD, Tostito, The Big Red One, Chewbacca,etc..) actually played catch with me.

Josie The Dog

 I love my dog but she’s getting up there in years and lately you throw the ball she will trot out and pick it up and then lay down.  But today she actually brought it back and I threw it 6 times.  Now granted she trotted out to get the ball and walked back to me.  And after the 6th throw she was ready to go inside but still that’s more than we did since last spring.  So obviously something is in the air.

Happy Mothers day!
