The ice storm has passed and February is almost in our rear view mirror. The sun was out today and soon it will be time to say HELLO to my good friend March. March is one of my favorite months – not only because my hoomans are Irish and they love to celebrate St. Patrick’s day, but for so many reasons! Here are my top three favorite things about March – (1) it’s prime basketball season and I am a Michigan State Spartan – GO GREEN! (2) in March we “spring ahead” and celebrate daylight savings time which means I get to spend more time outside exploring, and (3) things start to BLOOM in my woods and I get to share all my new discoveries with you! Sign-up for my weekly posts – I will try to drop a new story every week!

Little Sand creek area of West Michigan – where 99% of my adventures take place,
Not. Feelin. It.
Some days we are just Not. Feelin. It. and that is ok – just don’t bite!
Friends I got to be honest…today I was thinking I could go for my usual exploration but just am Not. Feelin. It.
The weather dude this morning was all excited about an ice storm coming (insert eyeroll if that was possible). I realize I should get outside and sniff around before the wind starts blowing, but I just want to dig up the blankets and cuddle down. So I did. That is one of the many great things about my elite canine status. My hoomans have to rush around in the morning – but not this Jack. I get to take all the covers and doze the day away.
So as I was trying to hide from the light of the bathroom door, I got to thinking…if I am feeling like this…and I am the world’s most courageous and adventurous canine explorer…then maybe other explorers are feeling the same!
So I want to let you know, if you are not feeling overly adventurous this week, that is ok. If you eat a few extra treats or let the squirrels run around the yard stealing birdseed like nobody’s watchin (I see you) – that is ok too. Sometimes you need to let the truck drop off the packages without a fuss, take a longer nap than you had planned and wait for the storm to pass.
In the meantime, remember not to bite. I’m not sayin you gotta wag your tail about every little thing – but be nice and try to show a little kindness. Everyone (even if they growl) are going through something. We all want someone who will listen, toss the ball in yard, and to call us in from out of the cold.
Take care of each other ok? I’ll bark with you next week.
Your friend,
Jack Jack Canine Explorer
