I never made a lot of pies, but when we lived in Nova Scotia I made blueberry pies in the summer when we could go out and pick wild berries. One time we picked so many, it filled up the old green Coleman cooler. We sold some that year. Our 2 Shelties at the time would go along and pick their own for immediate enjoyment. Candy ( our first dog as a couple) found bear poo to roll in one time, so naturally we had to bathe her. Fun times.
