The DOOM Spaniels

We saw our first dandelions on Sunday! Other climates have snowdrops and daffodils, but this is our spring.

Bonus: derp face outtakes, and an overhead view of the dandelions just sort of stuck into their earfloof. They had to sit very still to let the flowers balance on top of their heads. (and... sometimes didn't) Such good, good puppies.

Had a bad few days, didn’t get any new photos, here, have some dandelion pics with my Main Mare and Mister Merlin.

[Image Description 1: Kat, a red bay horse, extends her nose curiously towards the camera. She is hoping it contains cookies. Kat has two dandelions above her left ear.

Image Description 2: Kat stands with her neck curved prettily toward the camera, above Merlin, a buff cocker spaniel. Merlin sits looking cheerful and panting happily. Both have two dandelions above the left ear.]

I took this picture, and I thought it was an endearing, laughing representation of springtime.

Then Migraine Brain got a look at it, and now this is all I can see.

[Image Description: Yvaine, a white and red cocker spaniel, sits in front of a field of green grass. She has two dandelions above her left ear. Her eyes are closed, her mouth is open, she looks like she is laughing.

Image Description 2: Same as above, but with wonky-font text: "MUWAHAHAHAHA"]

My sweet puppy dogs and their cuddly Extra-Big Sisters were in fact quite cute while taking pictures with dandelions… most of the time. Most.

[Image Description: Yvaine, a white and red cocker spaniel, lays on the grass looking happy. Merlin, a buff cocker spaniel, stands next to Yvaine looking alert. Serenity, a bay draft cross horse, stands behind them, with relaxed ears. All three have two dandelions above the left ear.]

So you know what I just realized? If the two vomiting episodes didn't have anything to do with the events immediately beforehand[*]... then Merlin can have whole carrots after all! Delightful. ... [*] Look at me, assuming causation just because events happened in close time proximity! [Image Description: Two cocker spaniels sit on grass looking cheerful. Each dog has two dandelions above the left ear.]

Everybody's posting pictures with daffodils and I... ... well, I have a couple of dandelions. [Image Description: Yvaine, a white and red cocker spaniel, sits on grass. She has two dandelions above her left ear. Her expression looks disgruntled.]
