Dog Days of Spring?

I'm an East Coast girl at heart, but that doesn't mean I don't feel blessed to be in California this year.

Zuzu, on the other hand, would really rather be back in the cold. She loves nice cool weather. She has energy; she can run, play, and frolic for hours!

And, when she can do that all day, she stays a little more balanced.

In this California 'heat', and I use that term loosely, because there's 0% humidity, so it's not really that hot, she is nothing but a lump in the shade. She gets SO lazy! Even walks are a chore for her. I'm not sure how she's going to survive Virginia this summer!

What's even worse than the laziness though, is what the laziness creates. It creates a CRAZY DOG! As soon as it starts to cool down, she has to get a full day's worth of energy and mischief out! Hoses and gardens BEWARE! Fingers and bottoms BEWARE! Clothing and TV remotes BEWARE!  And don't even think you can take her on a relaxing walk. Pull pull tug tug sniff sniff RUN! And train? Forget about it. What's a sit good for anyway?

So now, as she lazily naps in the shade, waking up occasionally to go lap up some cool water, I am resting right along with her. Maybe then I'll have the energy to keep up with her as the sun starts to go down!
