If a tree falls in the forest, does the dog still pee on it

We found a new place to walk our dog. It is practically perfect. The parking lot which has plenty of room for cars, leads to a big field full of playing dogs. I am always worried at dog parks about my knees and today was no different. It is especially scary when a great Dane puppy is running your way. Unfortunately I couldn't take any pictures because my camera said I had no memory card. I hate to disagree with a computer, but we never took the card out because we don't even know where it is. Likely my system administrator fixed it. It is good to travel around

with your system administrator.

There were a couple of rusted cars. How did they get there. The trees looked fully grown around them and there wasn't a road to drive in.

Another one one of those mysteries you never solve, like the missing chicken.

Mully played with a Basset for the first time.I love the looks of them. They only thing I now about the breed is if they don't want to move, you are stuck. We walked with another golden for about 5 minutes and the owner and I both agreed each other's other dog was beautiful. I lied. I really know I had the prettier dog, I mean just look at her. Well maybe this wasn't her finest moment and to tell the truth she didn't smell too good either,. but still it was a great day - out with my dog, my son and my system administrator.

Measure twice

I called the kids to get the camera because it was so cute, Mully carrying this huge stick she found. Duh, what did I think she was going to do with it? Then she got stuck it, was just an inch bigger then the the stairs

She had to be bribed with a cookie to drop it and where the stick is now I do not know.

An apple a day

We found a great place to pick apples.I think we have been going there for the last 6 six years and we are always alone in the orchard. The apple lady recognizes us and Mully can run free. It is really bizarre, the other apple orchards have their parking lots full.

Mully figured out quite easily how to eat apples on the ground. this was probably a mistake.

There is a secret to picking apples. Walk to the furthest point and pick on your way back to the car. In the olden days we used

to be charged by the pound. Now you pay by the bag, so you tend to fill it up as much as possible. It was a lovely day. I kept thinking about

our old dog Bogey. We brought him here a year ago and had a great time. Soon after we found out about his cancer. I asked the apple lady about her dog who wasn't where he always was. He had to be put down in June, bu

t amazingly enough he was 20 years old. The apple lady asked how many apples the dog had eaten and if she had thrown up. I think the apple lady knows a thing or two. We dragged our apples to the car and found cheap gas. There was a casse croute next to the station that had real fries, non of your McDonald's artificial stuff. This is fries the way God wanted us to have them, with ketchup, salt and of course white vinegar in a paper bag. We drove off a little ways to relish every bite. Mully then helped kill our fat binge by heaving and throwing up. The apple lady knows about dogs and apples and now so do we.

Lesson learned always stop for fries in case your dog has to throw up.

How does your Garden grow

Gerry did an amazing garden thing or what ever you call it. I don't think that there is a word for it, but it looks great and it will look better when we plant something next summer. it is hard to believe that the summer is over - it has been crappy weatherwise, healthwise and what ever wise.

Mully enjoys our backyard - she thinks it her playground.

Just call her a slut

Haven't posted in awhile but, oh my, how have her teeth grown. She is a little different at the dog park. Actually she is a slut - I hate to use that word but there is nothing else to describe her - she is always on her back.
