Spring is in the air...

or at least on the elevators.  I took several elevator rides today, going out to appointments and doing laundry, and every time I was accompanied by someone with a dog.  Excited little dogs ready to get outside and take a walk. There was a Mini Dachshund (my favorite), a recently clipped Shih Tzu, an albino pug (or something similar), a Chihuahua, and others I can't identify.  I haven't seen so many dogs in a single day since I first moved in here. They were all on their way outside or coming back from walks on this excellent day. And all on leashes, which is good. Otherwise at least a couple of them would have blown away in today's wonderful wind. I have visions of little dogs on leashes floating up into the air like kites, while their people hold those extendable leashes.
