Spring cleaning

We took Zorro for a bracing 7-mile run on the towpath Saturday and he maintained a healthy pace throughout. There was a crescent moon in the morning sky when we started, which energized him, as usual. A woman passed by us on a bike with her brown lab in tow, but we managed to get Zorro off to the side and he behaved himself.
Yesterday was a tough day. I was at work; Denny spent the day doing yard chores. Not sure why, but Zorro was wild, racing around the yard barking, and doing the same when he was confined to the house. When Denny got out his lawn shears--which aren't even electric--Zorro jumped up and tried to bite them. Our neighbor was doing a ton of yard work, too, and was also in and and out a lot, using the squeaky screen door that always sets Zorro off. I took him for a run after I got home and after that he was exhaused. Barely moved all night.
Much better this morning. We encountered two dogs and both times, Zorro went right into his sit and looked at me before I even asked. Thunderstorms predicted for this week.
