Default Is spring in the air? Cos my pets think so

Well Stan the dog is running around like a nutter every toy is out, Eric the cat has become very very vocal today, George the water dragon is in and out his water climbing usually he is pretty quiet. As for Henry he is trying to attack the reflector from his UVB, digging climbing and and stomping about. Usually they are all pretty quiet I know the sun is out but they are acting like it is spring. Is anyone else pets suddenly coming to life?

As the daylight hours get longer, animals sense that spring is on the way. This is one reason I like to hibenate my torts later rather than earlier, then they see the natural changes in the day length when they get up.
My dogs have been out and about more today too.

You know you can really go off people!

No fluffing sunshine here today... did have some yesterday though so I shouldn't complain too much.
