Dog owners, myself included, like to believe our beloved pets want nothing more than to spend every waking moment in our presence. The sleeping moments, too. That’s how Miss Vivian and Eli ended up wedged into the back seat of our SUV headed to Charlotte, North Carolina. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about their excitement about being included on the family vacation. Now I’ll share the rest of the story. The pups settled into our Airbnb pretty quickly.

Tuesday night ... Vivian and Eli watch anxiously as Steve digs the suitcase out of the closet. We pack in the guest room at the back of the house, but the dogs aren’t fooled. They know something’s up. They pace and pant as piles of clothes disappear into the red roller bag on the bed they’re not allowed to jump on. They worry, even though we’ve never left them alone for more than a few hours, and even when we go out of town, doting dog sitters spoil them rotten while we’re gone.

Suzy LeonardFor FLORIDA TODAYI love spring, with its mild, sunny days and flower-filled gardens. I could do without the oak pollen, but I suppose spring’s perfection must be mitigated, lest it seem boastful and self-satisfied. Easter offers the ideal illustration of spring, with Christ’s brutal sacrifice made in love bringing a season of renewal of hope. I love gathering with friends, celebrating the sun rising on a new day and new possibilities.

It’s the middle of my spring break roadtrip. While friends took elaborate vacations to the islands, the mountains or Europe, I drove north to get to the South, spending five days in Georgia, with a couple of side trips to Alabama.

Suzy LeonardFor FLORIDA TODAY“This is why we live here.”That’s what a friend told me a few weeks after I moved to the Space Coast in 1999. It was a gorgeous almost-spring day, and we were sitting outside enjoying a cocktail, sunshine and a cool ocean breeze. He was right. March in Florida is glorious, with cool nights, mild days, cheerful flowers and never-ending birdsong. It’s the best time of year for park picnics and river walks and taking kids to the playground and al fresco brunches.
