I know it's been a long time, but I really didn't have much to talk about until now. April has been an exciting month.
First of all, April is my birthday month. It's also my Dad's birthday month. So Mom took "her boys" to an old old inn in Paradise Valley. It's called The Hermosa Inn. It has lots and lots of flowers I've never smelled before.
And then Dad and I got to nap in a big old bed.
And when we got back, one of our agaves grew a new tower in just a week. Here is what it looked like after about 3 days.
After that, my Aunt Joyce and Uncle Ron came to visit. And just in time! Because they got to see our neighborhood Wonder of the World. It's a Giant Argentinian Cactus that blooms once a year to say, Spring is Here! and then the flowers wither on the cactus. Aunt Joyce and Uncle Ron got here just in time to see it.
It was really good to see my Aunt and Uncle. I hope they come back. They said they would bring a new puppy the next time they come. I hope so. I'm a really good teacher to young puppies.
The last thing that happened, happened yesterday. Mom and I went for a walk over on the west green spot. It's pretty big. And at the far end, we saw two young coyotes playing and jumping. Then they headed off. So we kept walking the way we always do. But when we got to where they had been, they were still in a corner about a half a football field away from us. Mom said, OK, Guinness, let's quietly leave this area. But they saw me and I guess they thought I might be one of them. One of them started to come over to us. Mom started waving and shouting at him. (She said she read that in a novel). He stopped. We started up again but so did he. So she shouted louder. Then I dragged Mom towards home and we didn't see them again. Whew! I think they just wanted to play, but maybe not?
So Happy Easter and I hope you are having as good a spring as I am!
Love, G
