What did you do in the garden today?

Seen about 1/2 block down from me just chilling in neighbor's front yard. Turn the camera to the left and you could see my driveway from this spot were it not for the trees and a curve in the road. I told HE "THIS is why we have to spend so much on HC!" Not that HC will stop this beauty for long.

3" in 2 hours. It washed out my pig pens. Cut trenches through the land. We have a lake in my pasture.
I will never recover from the damage to the last of the garden. See ya next year!

Oh dear, I am so sorry! But you can talk to us about other things. My garden will be gone first freeze. At the rate the bugs are going, I am not going to get much. The Japanese beetles are eating my rose bush! I found six of them on one bud today!

Looks like a lynx?

Cap so sorry about your dog.

I am trying to get up the nerve to take him. I know it will take another piece out of my heart when I do.

I'm so sorry.

I hate making those decisions. Our JRT has issues, I think we are going to have to do the same by winter.

Yes, I had to take my kids along to put down my old Sheltie. I had her before we had kids. What a dog! We went to the Shepherd specialty show for obedience trials and she spanked their butts and won high in trial! She was one of the top obedience dogs in eastern Canada at the time we were showing. She was so smart, she even learned to understand when we spelled words! Any way, after I had her put down I sat in the car and just cried. Knew I was not safe to drive. My son said, Why are you crying, Mommy, we have lots of other dogs. I said, Some day when you have your own dog, you will understand.

I had Belgium Tervuren for 32 years... lost my last male at 16 7 years ago as my life went to crap from a stroke and graves disease

What a cool way to spend time with your baby! I hope you look back on those memories with a smile now.

Bobcat. We have them around, just never seen one in broad daylight in the open like that. That is a very healthy one too. Probably about 45 pounds.
