Outside Work

The weather was great--cool and still--so Fio and Husband put on their garden gloves and went outside to work on the yard again.  Specifically, they loaded two big garbage bags with last year's leaves, then dumped them further up the property on a barren area that needs a layer of decay in order to grow grass.  They had also planned to dig into an old mulch pile, but the tractor ran out of gas.

And so did Fio.  The weather had heated up, and the sun was too bright.

The yard work will have to wait till tomorrow.

Sundry Snippets

Fiorella's speech pathologist has advised her to improve her posture and keep her chin up, which is hard to do when Fio is always on the look-out for scorpions in the house and pretty stones in the driveway.

In a desperate attempt to reduce the mountain range of cedar mulch in the north yard, Fio is advertising it  as a give-away in the neighborhood garage sale.  She'll let you know if she has any takers.

Sweet Sonia is going to be taking private instruction at PetsMart to curb her aggression toward other dogs. Fio can't figure out what's going on.  Remember, Baby Dog received an award as "Miss Congeniality" from her puppy training class a year ago.  Maybe it's teen-age rebellion setting in.
