Snack Tea Pairings

Hello, fluff fans! Doggie here—nose twitching, tail wagging, and Mini Blue perched on my shoulder glowing a hopeful mint‑green. After months of cozy blanket burritos, spring has finally peeked around the corner! If you’re a plush (or a human with plushie spirit) eager to welcome the new season, grab your detective hat and follow my Top 8 Signs of Spring. 🌱

1. The Great Bloom Boom 🌸

Look for pops of pink, purple, and sunshine‑yellow in your neighborhood planters or park beds. I recently spotted daffodils beside our mailbox and did a celebratory spin. Pandy politely applauded from the porch with his teacup. Classic.

2. Chirp‑o‑Clock 🐦

When dawn arrives, do you hear tiny feathered alarm clocks? Those early‑morning bird serenades mean spring auditions are in full swing. Extra points if you identify the “tweet‑tweet‑tweet‑CHEEP” as the local sparrow boy‑band.

3. Longer Light, Shorter Snoozes ☀️

Notice you’re waking up before your humans’ alarm? That’s the sun clocking in earlier. Mini Blue turns a gentle gold at first light—my cue to stretch, yawn, and… okay, sneak one more five‑minute nap.

4. Fresh‑Cut Grass Perfume 🌿

One whiff of newly mowed lawns and my plush heart sings. If you catch that green, earthy scent on a weekend morning, congratulations—spring’s cologne has arrived.

5. Sneaky Sneezes 🤧

Allergies aren’t exactly glamorous, but a sudden round of ah‑choos (or in plush world, “a‑poofs”) often signals pollen parties in the air. Keep a mini tissue handy for your nose—or a lint roller for stray fluff.

6. Wardrobe Shake‑Up 👒

Humans trade heavy coats for light jackets, and plushies swap fleece scarves for dapper bow ties. Pandy polished his red bow last week and declared, “Time for lighter layers and brighter moods!”

7. Seasonal Snack Sightings 🍓

Farmers’ markets bloom with berries, tender greens, and lemon‑everything. I nabbed a basket of fresh strawberries to pair with Pandy’s Strawberry Sencha (see our snack post!). The taste? Spring in 3‑D, baby.

8. Sports & Outdoor Shenanigans ⚾

Opening Day at Oracle Park? Check. Sidewalk chalk masterpieces? Double check. When parks fill with picnics, frisbees, and plush pups chasing bubbles, you know spring is in full swing.

Final Tail‑Wagging Thoughts

Spring reminds us that change can be gentle, fragrant, and full of tiny joys—like spotting a lone blossom or catching the first warm breeze. So fluff your fur, open a window, and let the season sprinkle its magic on your stuffing.

Stay curious, stay fluffy,
Doggie 🐶✨
