Tulip along sidewalk in April, Forest Grove, Oregon

tulip survived tail less dog named Bear.  Living in Forest Grove, and down to one dog.  We both had to learn to walk with each other.  Little bear is as eager to please as he is stubborn to take the lead and then turn around and wait for me to almost catch up.  I am now back in the alpha spot.
