Squirrels.

Spring must be nearby somewhere. I have yet to see many of the warm sunny days but a friend of mine is bouncing high in the window with yelps of delight. Vladimir my youngest and smallest dog is all hyped up about the squirrels parading through the backyard. They taunt him, so surely Spring is near. Some people look for flowers to bloom, I listen to the high pitched whining of my beast beseeching me to let him free to chase the varmints. He would never catch them as he is easily misdirected by another one passing by but if I let him out to chase them i would never get him back. He even seems to dream about them when he sleeps, moving his legs and nipping at imaginary characters. Quite funny to watch. Being in isolation, it is the simple things that give pleasure and a reminder that life is happening all around us. We just have to grab the popcorn bowl and enjoy the scenery.
