Heart on his chest

My dog, Abednego (Benny) wears his heart on his sleeve, except it's on his chest. And only real men would pose in pink petals. If Benny is anything, he is a real "man". This was taken at deep dusk and still the petals on the ground appear as pink as I saw them..... really they shouldn't be on the ground at all in the beginning of March. They should barely be poking out of tree limbs but here in Portland we allow Spring to spring early, sometimes. When we're not entranced by more than 3" of white snow.
