First Sign of Spring?

It's sunny, but it's still damn cold. But according to the experts, it is indeed now officially Spring. Yeah, right. I don't see any darling buds or bobbin robins in my neighbourhood, so as far as I am concerned, it ain't quite Springtime for Patricia and Toronto yet.

Or is it?

At the end of my street is a convenience store run by this couple who own two white dogs. One dog is of medium size and the other one is a little snappy yapper. Both very cute, especially the tiny one. Yesterday I walked by the store, and heard the little one yapping, as per usual. Except this time, it wasn't totally white, it looked like this!!

And no, I'm not kidding. The owners dyed their little dog's ears and tail a very, very hot pink. Maybe to welcome Spring? Celebrate Easter a little early? Traumatize their poor dog? Reminds me of that poor bulldog who was forced to wear a polka-dot tutu in the Bloor West Village.

Oh, the humanity!!

Speaking of spring and dogs and melted snow - OMG - our backyard. All is revealed.
It's that time of year...our very own annual rite of spring.
