Hello Springtime!

We Alaskan Klee Kai do like the mild winters of Southern California but it is even better when spring arrives. The days and nights are mild. The flowers start to bloom. The squirrels get frisky. Boy, do the squirrels get frisky!

They are foolish enough to enter our backyard to romp and play. Of course that means that we get to chase them across the lawn, into the bushes and up the nearest tree. Once in the tree, the squirrel or squirrels make such a racket as they scold us for only being ourselves. I mean we are part of the Northern Breed family with all the traits that are part of that heritage. We are pack dogs that love to hunt and chase our prey i.e. squirrels. We love to run and go on long walks. Its just us being us. Those squirrels need to get over it.

The Pet Expo is coming up in April. It starts on Friday, April 11th and runs through Sunday, April 13th. Riley and I will be there with Mom and Dad on Sunday the 13th. If you want to meet us and see other Alaskan Klee Kai, it is your best opportunity. The web site is here. I do hope you will come on by and say "Hi".

In preparation for the Expo, Dad is trying to clear up my tear stains under my eyes. Some dogs get these stains, some don't. Riley doesn't have the problem. However, I get them. To that end, I am using a product called Angels Eyes. It seems to have dried up my tears. Now if only my fur will grow out more so that the present stains will grow out. While I wait for the fur to grow, Dad is applying another product called Diamond Eyes. It is supposed to whiten or at least lighten the old stains. It appears to help but it is a slow process. Wish me luck.
