I drove down to Burlington today and was happy to see that the further south I went the more the snow had melted. In fact there's lots of grass visible in the Burlington area. My mom has a bit of grass showing on both her front and back lawns. There's also over a foot of snow on other places on the lawn and piles over three feet tall. Spring is definitely on it's way.

When Zaph comes in from a walk, he gets put into the bathtub to wash his feet and belly. Unfortunately, he is still licking and chewing his paws. Years ago we bought boots for Zaph to wear down south when there's a lot of sand burs. At the time he really disliked the boots so they were put in a cupboard. The other day I noticed that Zaph was limping when we walk, so Ed decided it was time to find the boots and try them out.

Zaph wasn't happy at first but adjusted quickly to the boots. Now he makes a fashion statement when he goes for a walk. Now we need to figure out a way to protect his belly.
