Week twenty nine in the garden

Our kale really is making a comeback. We are plucking off leaves almost everyday for Mommy and Daddy's green smoothies. I sure hope the buggies don't move back in too soon.

So it turns out we were all wrong about what kind of tomatoes were growing through the fence from our neighbors yard. These little "toms" quit growing and turned red way before we thought they were going to but I know Mommy is pleased to have few extra for her salads or sauces.

I just love to watch our peppers turn different colors as they ripen. This one is a "Baby Bells" mini bell pepper and it will soon turn bright red. The weather has been kinder to us by cooling about ten degrees over the last week. We hope this week stays cooler for our garden. Thing just grow better when it's not so hot. Don't you agree?

Week twenty eight in the garden

Happy Labor Day. We finally arrived home after a long weekend of camping at Eagle Lake. Once we were unpacked we all ran to the garden to check what had grown the most. The Baby Bells,

and cherry tomatoes are growing so well that Mommy has been using them in all of Her and Daddy's lunches and dinners.

We are all out of store bought kale so as long as it keeps growing like this we will be just fine.

All four of the zucchini growing are still pretty small but I'm betting that they will make it to the dinner table this week.

Even though there are too many for me to count, Mommy said we can never get enough cucumbers. If you didn't already get enough of our weekend camp stories, tomorrow Sierra will tell you her scoop about our Labor Day trip.

Busy bees

I got put on "time out" a lot today...and all because I kept trying to protect everyone from the bees. So I spent a lot of time in the screen room because the bees weren't able to get in there. But would you believe that I took down a bee while we were out on the boat? High five! They zoom zoom all over the place and around my face so I just couldn't help it. Mommy says I should be thankful the bee didn't bite my tongue. Now onto fishing news. Daddy caught the smallest fish today. Isn't he cute? I guess it was a sign that bigger things were in store because Daddy caught a three pound trout. Eagle Lake is known for its salmon like trout because of the pink flesh. Everyone agreed that it was delicious. It tasted like salmon but not as fishy.

Fun on a Friday

After a really long car ride we finally made it to Eagle Lake. It was getting dark so we quickly set up camp and had our doggie dinner. We took a walk to the lake tonight and it looks like Lake Tahoe. We can't wait to see it in the morning. Today is Grandpa's birthday so we celebrated with cupcakes. Happy weekend everyone!

Wordless Wednesday... All cooped up at Daddy's work

Sierra's Scoop

Hi there everybody, it's Sierra here. Does anybody see anything wrong with this picture?   That's right, whenever Teddy and I are in riding in Daddy's truck, I usually have to lay on the floor.  I can sit in between them on the bench but sitting in the middle is tricky because there's just not enough room.  Maybe Daddy will get a bigger truck someday so I won't have to lay down there anymore.

Week twenty seven in the garden

We still have not been able to guess what kind of tomato's are growing through our fence but I think they are starting to look like roma's, what do you think?

After only a couple weeks, can you believe our kale already has fresh new growth that is completely bug free.

After a late start, the basil is looking really great. We keep pulling off the flowers that are growing and still eat all the leaves we want. Thanks little basil plant.

We are also starting our second week of Mommy going to work so I hope everyone understands that we will try to read and comment on as many blogs as we can during our hectic new schedule. I hope every one will be patient because we love our blog friends all so much.

Week twenty six in the garden

It looks like our heat wave is finally over and we are so pleased to see that more strawberries are ready to eat.

We lost the battle against spider mites, so Daddy stripped all the leaves off of all our kale plants. It's only been a week or two and there is already new growth. We have had a real kale shortage around our house so Mommy is eagerly watching it grow.

Oh boy did we pick a really big cucumber this weekend. It was a little too big for our taste so we will definitely have to pay more attention to all these little ones growing.

After a half a dozen failed attempts, Daddy gave up on me sniffing a lime for this photo. Sorry Pops, better luck next time.

Tribute to a friend

Our friend Casper crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning. He was one of our first DWB friends and we had the privilege of spending a fun day with him in Napa a few years ago. He was the sweetest Eskie and he'll always be in our hearts. Run free, dear Casper....

"There is one best place to bury a dog." If you bury him in this spot, he will come to you when you call - come to you over the grim, dim frontier of death, and down the well-remembered path, and to your side again. "And though you call a dozen living dogs to heel, they shall not growl at him, nor resent his coming, for he belongs there. "People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no whimper, people who may never really have had a dog. Smile at them, for you shall know something that is hidden from them, and which is well worth the knowing. "The one best place to bury a good dog is in the heart of his master." --- Ben Hur Lampman ---

Slider Saturday

Mommy and Daddy went to a birthday party without us today. At the party, Uncle Tim made yummy sliders for everyone to eat. Guess who's Mommy brought a couple home in a doggie bag? That's right. Our Mommy. We were totally freaking out when she pulled them out tonight. We've had a small patty before but never with a small bun. Yippee-ay-yay mini sirloin burgers!!! Yeah!!!

********************************************************************

Teddy

1. I follow Mommy where ever she goes. I never leave her side.

2. I love, love, love walks. When it's time for our walkie, I sit in front of my collar and leash, waiting for Mommy and Daddy to put it on.

3. If I find a towel on the floor, I like to rub my neck in it. Mommy wishes she knew why I do this.

4. I LOVE the cold weather. I once swam in Lake Tahoe in the middle of January. By the time we'd walked back to our cabin, I had icicles hanging off my hair. It's a real bummer we didn't have a camera back then.

5. I love playing with Daddy. Sometimes I even take toys to him when he's sleeping because I want to play.

Sierra

1. I follow my Daddy where ever he goes. I'm a total Daddy's girl.

2. I love getting belly rubs and back scratches.

3. I am the best protector I know. I bark at everything.

4. I make lots of noises when I sleep. Mommy says I must have some wild dreams.

5. I have a fascination with birds. Daddy thinks it's because they kept me alive when I lived on the streets.

We want to share this award with ALL of our pawesome friends. We love you and thank you for being such pawtastic friends!
