It's fun until a bird poops on your head...

Tyler gets a "message" from an irritated bird

Now that spring time has finally arrived in the Mid-Atlantic U.S.A., it's fun for the dogs to run around in the backyard. This past weekend, our 5 year old Dachshund Tyler noticed that some small birds were nesting in one of Leland Cypress trees (we have 5 in the backyard in a semi-circle and they all stand about 6-8 feet high). 

Daddy Rob gives Tyler a bath!

   Tyler decided it would be fun to bark at them and run around the tree. That is until he got a message from them. When Tyler walked up to the back door I saw a bird had pooped on his back, leaving a nice big, white and black calling card. ICK!!  Of course, that meant a bath for Tyler! 
   So, if you're having a bad day, look at the bright side  - a least a bird didn't poop on YOUR head!
