The Treasure Hunt

I am so very much looking forward to some warmer weather. I know it seems like few of us are ever really satisfied. When it's winter I long for summer and vice versa. For the most part I am happy for whatever season is upon us but I just feel like I need to shed this winter and get it behind me. For a very long time now I have had certain seasons of the year that I rate from my best to least favorite. That would be fall being my favorite, followed by springtime and closely followed with winter and bringing up the rear would be summertime. I suppose part of my reluctance to fully enjoy the heat of summer is the effect it has on our outdoor dogs... other than that there are many reasons for me to also like the summer.

Tomorrow is Virgil's 12th birthday. With him, as with all of us really it is day-by-day. He constantly fluctuates between short bursts of energy followed closely by lethargy. He is still so cute though and recently when I watch him and how he reacts with me I am reminded of a verse, “... the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.” The reason I say that is the weather has been both rainy and cold and now he chills much easier and he is reluctant to go with me even when I call him. Yet, there are times that he has to go outside to make his toilet.

Last night was one of those times and when I called to him he raised his head to look at me but he didn't immediately get up. Not that he didn't want to but I could tell it is just hard for him. I could tell though that he wanted to because the only part that was reacting with excitement was his stubby little tail: that was moving as fast as he could make it go! I think that is his way of letting me know that he really wants to go with me... but his body just doesn't want to cooperate ): I detest sickness, and death!!!!!!!

Whatever video I record for today I will most probably upload that after I get home from work tonight. I hope all those I love best has a wonderful day today!
