I envy you your already sprung up flowers. We have a few crocuses (crocii?) coming up, but they'll be gone in a week since it was warm and now it's winter temps again.
I stay off the dog/cat adoption lists for the same reason. Those little faces haunt me, and inevitably I find one (or twenty) I can't forget the sight of. My husband is allergic: I had 6 cats when we met. Three were old and died a natural death at a decent age. One had a hidden heart defect and died suddenly in its sleep at only 4. We're down to two, and I've promised him the numbers won't rise. So he can breathe at night instead of sounding like he's drowning. As for dogs: I dog sit 4days/3nights a week for a friend who works overtime those nights. Walking a dog 3 times a day is a bit much for me. Maybe if we enclose the yard and I can just let the little bugger run out on its own/install a doggie door. . . ? We'll see.
