Garden Boots and Dirty Dogs.

After seeing the sun shine all week at work and knowing rain as due to arrive with the weekend. I didn't really have much plans for out door fun. As you can see we headed over to the feed store for some rabbit feed and picked out new rubber boots for everyone. Mine are blue slip on's with Dragonflies, the Littles have standard issue black rubber boots. These are spare pairs for them, it always seems that when we really need the boots, at least one is always missing.



Yesterday Our Penny somehow managed to wiggle under the back deck. I went to look for her and all I hear is thump thump thump of her tail hitting the boards. This is me holding her head. She couldn't figure out how to get back out and I ended up using a shovel to lift up the deck a inch or so to allow her to wiggle out. I put a cement block down to block her from going back under.



This morning when I let the dogs out again Penny managed to get under the deck again, so I let her stay under there stuck for several hours to get the point into her head that maybe she shouldn't be going under there. This is what she looked like when she came out. I fed her and then hosed what dirt I could off her and took her inside for another bath to warm her up. She just about fell asleep in the tub after spending all that time wiggling around under the deck. I put more blocks to block her access. Hopefully.

We had two sets of puppy people today. The first family lost their 4 year old goldendoodle to cancer a few months ago. They took home Tawnee's 13 week phantom labradoodle chocolate girl. The second family came back for a second puppy. Last week they got one of Liezel's miniature poodle boys. They decided they needed one of his sister's for him to play with. The boy puppy's name is Max, the girl they planned on naming Daisy.

After we got done with today's people we headed over to Home Depot to pick up hardware cloth for the raised garden boxes. I got two different sizes 2' X 25' and 4' X 25'. I also got 4 bags of garden soil and 1 bag of composted steer manure to mix with my dirt to give it a boost. I need to get the raspberries planted, they are spouting leaves sitting on my kitchen table. I also need to unbag the strawberry plants. Since I don't have a box ready for them I'm going to temporarily put them in my old wheelbarrow. So that's my plans for tomorrow.
