Cherries and Puppy Dogs Part 2

This morning we needed to finish getting the nets on our cherry trees. Before Hubby would let me in our back yard he prepared me with eye protection of the most serious kind, and set Fritz to watch over me!

As you can see, I am truly protected…from myself!

Yes, I managed to assist Hubby without any further catastrophes! It’s terrible to possess this clumsiness gene! At least I have not passed it along to my daughter!

Meanwhile the puppies played on. They love the fact that they could be outside in their pen watching us, and playing with their toys and bones at the same time.

I love this picture because it shows Ali lying on her back completely relaxed while she plays. She often does this and you just want to reach out and give her a little belly rub! We couldn’t find a yellow collar for Bogart, so we put on a red one the other day when his new parents came to visit.

Baerbel, Ali and Baron show you just how much they love those little Dingo Bones. Wow! All my dogs love them (except Fritz, who likes nothing bone-wise!).

Oh and just so you don’t think I have forgotten Anneliese, I snapped this picture today too. She is getting back to her normal self, and I am enjoying having her in my lap again, as well as cuddled up to my knees at night.

Our schools close tomorrow for the summer and after that I imagine the kids will be here quite a bit playing with the pups until the go in early July. What will I do, what will I do, when the pups have gone?

Melli asked what Greta, Arnie and Anneliese and even Fritz are teaching the puppies. The biggest thing is they teach them socialization skills with other dogs. They learn what is acceptable and what isn’t. They learn to play, and to back off when they have made the adult dog a little angry. They learn to sniff and to play with the dog toys that we have. It’s a neat thing to watch.

  1. I love the EYE wear! I am LOL! I just want to reach out and rub Ali’s belly! They are all adorable! Love YOU, Mel

  2. I hear alllllll the BEST gardeners are wearing ski.. er, um… garden goggles this year! I don’t think that getting hit in the eye with a falling cherry can be considered CLUMSY though! You are not in control of where falling things land! You just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time!

    I want to rub Ali’s tummy too! And Bogie looks good in red — I think that’s his color!

  3. What a creative eye protection – the first time I’ve seen anybody scuba diving in their garden. Your welcome to a swim in mine any time 😆
