Spring Flowers

I just wanted to share some of the beautiful flowers that I am enjoying in my yard. This is the most amazing ground cover ever! I absolutely love the little white flowers. The back of the petals are dark pink, which gives it a cool look. It is spreading well through one of my flower beds. I love it!
This is some other ground cover I have. They are tiny blue flowers. Pretty!
Here are some amazing iris. I love the colors! My neighbor has already asked for some starts when I divide the purple ones.
Here is the flower bed as a whole. It's pretty full, but also pretty! The flowers are much prettier up close.
My bushes have the most amazing yellow flowers all over them!
More beautiful iris:
Here is the flower bed as a whole. Not as pretty from far away. There are many more flowers getting ready to bloom. It will be nice having more colors than just yellow (though I love the yellow ones).

Best Friends

Newton and Bullwinkle have become best friends. It makes me so happy! Newton is getting so big. He's getting closer and closer to Bullwinkle's size. I just hope he doesn't get bigger than Bullwinkle! Newton and Bullwinkle play so well together.

The above picture is from March so Newton isn't too big yet. He loves to jump and lay on Bullwinkle. Gratefully Bullwinkle doesn't seem to mind.

Tug-o-war is a favorite at our house. Newton doesn't care who his opponent is. He is quick to get in on the game!Another fun game is wrestling. Even though Bullwinkle is still bigger, he isn't always the one on top. This is the only picture that I was able to get to show that Newton is getting close to Bullwinkle's size. It's hard getting two dogs to cooperate during pictures!Here are the handsome boys and on a nice Sunday afternoon. We played outside for a while today.

Introducing.....

This is my new little boy. His name is Newton. I got him on Tuesday, February 2nd. A friend of a friend was giving him away. I love free!
Just to give you an idea how big he is right now, the dish he is sitting by is a small dog dish. I tried weighing him on my scale, but he didn't even register. He was too light for the scale to know he was on there.
He plays well with Bully. They play tug-o-war and wrestle a bit. So far Bully has been so gentle with him. I hope that continues! Bully has been a bit jealous too, but I'm trying to pay attention to them at the same time.
Now I just need to get this little guy house broken. I'm being impatient right now. I want it to happen now! I can't remember how long it took Bully to become house broken. I guess it's good I forgot about that part. I wouldn't have this little guy now.
