Tuffy is my hearts delight (Coton de Tulear)

Springtime in Connecticut. My two year old Coton de Tulear,Tuffy, loves the garden. We walk around every day looking for more beautiful surprises popping up through the soil. His job is checking it out to see how it's growing, what's coming up and how it smells and tastes. He seems to recognize the edible flowers. Tuffy loves flowers.

Two days ago he thought he found new friends-bumble bees! He stood up tall on his hind legs and tried to climb the bush to chase them when they zoomed into the Azalea blooms. Yesterday he found a black bird feather on the grass and first was afraid of it, then started pawing it like a kitten would, trying to get it to move on it's own. His daily discoveries delight me. Tuffy is my heart's delight.
