With the hint of spring noticeably in the air and at our feet, Lucy, her Mom and I spent a most enjoyable morning in Birds Hill Park. Miss Lucy is a 12 year old Border Collie / Shepherd mix with much of the Border Collie visible in her still energetic personality.

The past couple of years have seen Lucy deal with some significant health issues but today was a good day. She was happy to be out and about and seemed to totally enjoy the sights and smells of this time of year. Snow still covered much of the ground … but tall grass and dirt patches were emerging as well… all sorts of new scents now revealed.

Such a pretty girl.

Simply enjoying the day…

Some friendships are special… the love evident.

I wish you well, Lucy. You are a beautiful girl.
