I try to resist pet postings. But sometimes I break down. Both our dogs are getting long in the tooth.
For 12 springs now, Jade — our lab/border collie mix — has been a constant (and sometime annoying) companion in the garden.
This is how I typically see her, with ball (or more often Norway spruce cone) in mouth, ready to play. If I ignore her, she throws the toy in the garden cart, a bucket, or the hole Im digging and bark until I pick it up an throw it — only to repeat the whole process.
She still likes being outside, but her persistence is waning. After a toss or two, she gives me the look: Do I have to initiate the whole play thing? Will you think less of me?
And then she’ll lie down and watch me work. NIce company.
Awwww I don’t know why you don’t like posting about your Mz Jade. She deserves a little lime light since she has been gardening with you for so long.
What a Good Dog!
i wish i could enjoy the company of my pets in my garden, but we live on a busy street…so they hang out at the screened windows, watching and sniffing the air and giving all of my clothes a thorough going over when i come in.
Don’t resist pet posting, we all love them.
Hooray for Jade the cone killer 🙂 It’s sweet that she’s kept you company for so long in the garden. Seems like the comment pool is all for doggy posts–keep ’em coming!
