This is exactly why I won't take my dogs to a dog park. A friend often invites me to one nearby but I know its a place where ppl sit around talking while their dogs runamok. Dogs don't need other dogs as much as we think they do. My dogs see plenty of dogs but there's no need for them to engage...

I'm way behind on this thread but I have a plan. When you are all asleep I'm going to catch up!
Thia salvia has never looked so good...I think it loves the support of the common groundsel behind it.
Raining here today.
