Grumpy

It's spring! And everything is springing around here, plants are springing out of the ground, calves are springing around their mothers and Henry is springing everywhere.

The best thing about spring is that the garden dries up a bit and the dogs can run around outside without getting completely covered in mud which inveriably ends up in the living room.

This morning I got up first and let the dogs out into the garden and went out there to sit on the bench with a cup of tea. Molly joined me by climbing up on to the bench and we watched Henry and Badger play fighting all around the garden.

It was really nice, the sun was shining and the dogs were happy and barking and running about. Everybody was happy.

Then out of the upstairs window comes a loud bellow.

Other Half, trying to have a lay in is completely offended by the barking and happiness in the garden.

It's not that early, just half past nine for goodness sake!

I try to quieten the dogs down even though I don't really think they are being that bad, they were only playing after all. But it's not enough, grumpy in the roof decides they should all be silent so we all come in, Badger goes in his cage, Molly on her bed and Hen lays in the living room doorway rolling his eyes in disgust as he watches me read the blogs of the day.

Then Other Half gets up. What does he do? Comes downstairs and lets the dogs out into the garden and watches them bombing about and barking while expressing that it's a lovely spring day and how nice it is outside in the garden.

I give up.
