3/14: dog of spring

Two of our neighbors got a new dog last year, but while he was young they didn't let him out unattended much.  Now that he's older he spends more time outside, and when he sees us walking he often joins us.  He is so funny and sweet and full of energy.  He makes us smile.  Today he walked with us for nearly 2 miles and also spent half an hour at the lake with us at sunset.  We were grateful for his company.
