I find that Sadie is more excited when the weather first gets nice because walks and outings are less frequent in the winter.

Once trips to the park are more frequent she will not take off when off leash or pull when on leash, but for the first real park trip she looks insane walking in every direction with tongue hanging out as though this is the first and last time I will allow her out.

Not to say it's ok for the dogs to be bad, but it is understandable. It's been the same weather here - freezing for so long and now a day of 70 degrees - I am so ready for spring.
