Entry for Spring Theme Photo Contest

Ta Da!!!! My final decision for the contest...


Why did I pick this picture for the contest? Otis just so looked so happy in this picture. It was actually taken today (Friday 4/18). With my broken foot I haven't had a chance to take him outside too much but today was so beautiful we went out for a little bit. Springtime for us is finally getting to go back outside for walks. I can read his mind too.

I get to sit in this bed of daffodils AND mom is throwing me cashews??? THIS is the life!!! I love springtime!

If you like my picture and Otis please go vote for me (shameless plug). I would appreciate it! You can vote here.

This next picture is not an entry but here he is thinking "Where in the heck is my next cashew?"


These were my runner up options!
