The first day of spring is also called the vernal equinox where there is supposed to be 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. In spring, the Earth’s axis is tilted toward the sun, increasing the number of daylight hours and bringing warmer weather. Many trees, flowers, plants and bulbs begin to grow during the Spring.

Spring is one of the four seasons and the transition from Winter into Summer and usually occurs during the months of March, April, May, or from the Vernal Equinox (March 20) to the Summer Solstice (June 21). Source: Kidskonnect

A fully grown adult dog has 42 teeth. A fully grown person has 32. The average dog is thought to be about as intelligent as the average two year old child, according to research by leading animal psychologists in America. Dogs have no sense of time in the same way that we do, although their body clocks dictate their need for food and going to the toilet, which is why owners often think their dogs are responding to specific times of the day with a conscious awareness of time passed.

I woke up to day smiling as I recall our friendship because
I know that years from now, I will still be waking up smiling
for  the same reason. ~smstosay

Breathe easy. In addition to sweating through their paw pads,
dogs pant to cool themselves off. A panting dog can take 300-400
breaths (compared to his regular 30-40) with very little effort.

Tulip is one of the most beautiful and most popular flowers in the world. There are 75 wild tulip species and over 3000 varieties of tulips created via selective breeding. Tulips originate from central Asia. They were brought to Europe in 16th century, when people started to cultivate them on a massive scale. Today, tulips can be found throughout the world. These beautiful plants live in temperate climate, with cold spring which lasts extended period of time. Specific weather conditions (especially low temperature during the spring) are required for the growth of the seed. Number of certain species of tulips is decreased in the wild because of the over-collection and habitat destruction as a result of increased human activity. Source: SoftSchools

He’s been called “the clown in the cloak of a philosopher,” and this loveable little companion dog is exceptionally good-natured. He is particularly affectionate toward his master and the children, and can even be a bit possessive. They are excellent with children! He will need to be a part of the family and will want to be in close contact with you. Each “frenchie” possesses his own unique personality, but they are usually independent thinkers, intelligent, with a bit of a mischievous side. They are usually well-behaved if trained to be. They are trainable, but stubborn, and do best when they are convinced that they are interested in the task at hand.
