It was lovely and hot with the sun playing peek-a-boo all day. Mabel departed. Ringo and Amy will depart tonight. Barney and Daisy arrived. All dogs are having fun. Sage jumped on Nathan's back in the pool and rude him while he swam. It was a riot. I love creative dogs.
Had the best garlic bread ever from St Louis Bar and Grill. They were incredible. It was a great treat.
We had a raccoon about a week ago on our fence. Our dogs were barking. She hissed. I say she as she looks pregnant. Then she broke into our green bins - yuck and then sauntered up on the deck to go after my tomatoes. Now everyone knows Dennis is a sensitive soul and when he finds bugs he rescues them. I pointed out that their feces carry manu things that dogs can contract. He listened. He did his own research as gad forbid his mom knows anything and then took a hose and sprayed her. She went high up on the tree. Then she started to come down when he stopped so he sprayed her again and up the tree she went. We have not seen her for a week. Did it work and send her to someone else's yard leaving my tomatoes alone. The tomatoes are still there so the answer has to be yes. We go out enough that we would know. I guess she wasn't thrilled with her impromptu shower. In the heat we have she probably needed it but I think she was not impressed. I think they are adorable but with dogs they do not belong in our yard. I tell you this in case you have an issue in your yard. They are going to have their last kits of the season and will be looking for safe haven. My yard is not it. Hope yours isn't either.
