A Bernese Mountain Dog lies over the edge of a seagrass rug with a dog biscuit shaped sign on her front paws. The sign says, "HECK NAZIS" and has a pawprint on the corner.
Josie is ready to protest. The sound track is "The Day the Nazis Died" by Chumbawamba.

Sneaky warm weather has sped up the peak spring cherry bloom. At the #OregonStateCapitol, lights and lanterns have been strung in the trees; the festival is this Saturday. Josie had a delightful walk there today.
