Terrier Tuesday -- Spring Fever Edition

Oh, Dear Readers,

I've got REALLY GREAT NEWS for you: A.Alpha's elbow is almost all better! (Praise be to the chiropractor genius and the wonderful physical therapist. Without them, I don't know how much longer I could have stood it. I was *this close* to putting out an ad in the People Wanted section of The Terrier Times. I mean it.)

And the weather has been really great. And the snow is melting. And the sap is flowing.*

And what all that means for me -- I don't know about for you -- is that A.Alpha is hella easier to get along with. She's cheerful not so grumpy! She's happy not so whiny! She's taking me out every day for some excellent exercise play! 

Well, by "every day," I mean she did yesterday. But I've got a good feeling about this, I really do.  

Love,

Mr. Jefferies

*Though personally I'm not too happy about the mud and the puddles.

(This is my toy in a puddle. I'm not gettin' it. YOU get it.)

"...A.Alpha is hella easier to get along with." (emphasis added)

I didn't realize Mr. Jeffries was from Northern California. :)

Mud and puddles are brutal! BRUTAL!

[DebbieB]

LOVE the terrier slideshow!

[Geri]

Mud season is always good news/bad news. Gotta keep those pretty paws clean and dry!

[gayle]

Love the slideshow!
And I wouldn't want to mess with a puddle this time of year, either. They're cold!

[Becky]

Great slide show! Mr. Jefferies looks like he is in form. How about Norma? Are you still going to Zumba? I have become Zumba addicted. Hope you feel better and better every day.

[jill]

A walk without winter boots is always a good thing. Very sweet slideshow!

[Adelaide]

I love Mr. Jefferies. I truly do.

[Carol]

Love that Mr. J! I am a total cat person and barely tolerate dogs, but lately, I find myself looking at Yorkies fondly. And I really look forward to Terrier Tuesday - weird, huh? Keep 'em coming!

[Kym]

I hope you get used to the puddles, Mr. Jefferies. It's nearly puddle-time. . .

[Jennifer]

Glad to hear the elbow is doing well - and I'm a big believer in the one day trending!

[Joannah]

Mr J,
I've got my fingers crossed for you! This could be heading toward a GREAT trend! (Except the part about throwing toys in puddles, but I hear medical professionals have been called in to work on the elbow situation. Fingers crossed for this too!)

[Jean E.]

Mr J, you made me laugh today!

[Konna]

Ooohhh....I love the slide show! I can just see Mr. J running around. Puddles....yuck! Looks like it was a great day for an outing! Hope there are many more!

[Leslie]

I love the slide show, Mr. J. Did you teach Alpha how to do that?? Let's hope Alpha continues to (be nicer to live with) get better.

p.s. Sorry, Norma, but I don't know how to do strike throughs in the comments.

[Seanna Lea]

I've been so much happier (not necessarily easier to get along with) since the weather turned. It's just hard to drum up enthusiasm for the constant doggie walking when it is slushy and icy and cold outside!

[Wanda in AR]

Love the slide show. I don't blame you, I wouldn't want to the toy from the puddle.

[Paul]

Too cute!

[Angie L.]

Norma, I'm glad your elbow is healing. Hope you'll be be all better soon. Mr. J you are the best part of any given Tuesday morning. I think the Times would greatly benefit from having a Mr.J column. I also kinda wish it WAS possible to put up a few of my relatives into the People Wanted..no?..oh well..

[marianne]

LOVE the slide show, Mr.J! and I'm glad to hear A.Alpha is in better spirits, lack of pain can do that!

[Lucia]

Lack of pain and improved weather definitely brighten one's mood. You don't stay in one place for long, do you, Mr. J?

[Rosemary McN]

Better than a Mocha Latte (full strength)!
Thanks!

[Donna]

Love the slideshow! You made my day! Mr. Jeffries, you are so cute - it makes me want to get a dog just like you!

[Elaine]

Love you Mr J! And just curious... how did you get your name? And A Alpha did a wonderful job with the slide show.

[Doris]

Petey is hating the mud too. I keep telling him it will soon dry up...same holds true for you. Glad that A. Alpha is doing so much better. I'm sure that makes life better for everyone!

[Kate in Northern Virginia]

Mr. Jeffries, I see you've been drinking cuteness juice again.

[Cookie]

Yay!

[noonie]

Oh Mr J you need to embrace the joys of mud and water. I'm telling you this with much experience in the matter... nothing beats a good wallow in the smelliest puddle you can find. Then when you get home you can really leave your mark on the cream walls.. tiles, carpets... And of course, stand next to the person wearing the lightest shades and SHAKE....

Love Mr Jinx the Black Lab

[Sarah]

I hope this is the beginning of happier days for all of you!

[Birdsong]

Lovely to hear that your elbow is improving. Spring should be having a beneficial effect on all of us!

[elizabeth a airhart]

lile ole pudding pie says its about time

[Vicki]

I am so happy to hear about Norma's elbow!!

[lisa]

Clearly A Alpha needs to get you some spring Wellies...

[Laurie]

Awww...Mr. Jeffries has spring fever! Glad the elbow is getting better. Wish we could bottle a dog's joy on the first warm spring day when they can smell the earth and not banks of snow.
