花見

Barley, a dog, sits in view of a cluster of cherry blossoms.

With the weather finally (if intermittently) warming up, the local flora has finally begun to respond in kind. Various fruiting bodies have gone all flowery, no doubt presaging the berries of summer. For the time being, however, Barley is uninterested. Her disinterest in flowers has come up before, but the exciting new development is that she has almost completely lost her Heat Stamina. Even a walk of moderate length on a somewhat sunny day results in one pooped pup!
