It's a well known fact that my dog Jude is a real stinker most of the time. When she's not terrorizing the local chipmunk population, or snatching leaves from my plants in the garden (especially beans), she's all about playing. Whether it's a stick, limb, or even a small tree that is dragged from the woods for chewing on, you can bet that before any mowing takes place, the entire yard must be thoroughly swept for debris. In the photo below, she has a pretty healthy sized limb that was dragged from the woods. I've thrown it back countless of times, but it always finds the way back....
Photo below - Oh, let me show you a new watermelon that's growing nicely. Before I had a chance to sling it while it was small, a big wind blew the section of vine off of the trellis, and here it rests. Once that happens, it's best to just leave it as is - because the vine can be easily damaged by wrestling with it. I anticipate this one to grow to a really nice size, especially since the bigger melon was picked the other day. (I'll show ya a pic of it on Monday)
Photo below - speaking of watermelon, here's the "Grand poobah of all buttheads" scarfing down a storebought watermelon that had to be thrown out. Yeah, definitely not your average dog, and she ate the whole dadgum thing! Hehe...
In other news, I have a head cold....It sucks to have a cold in the summertime, and I really don't feel like doing anything at all. However, Jude still requires a few hours of playtime each day, and i'll certainly continue to let her have it - cold or not. It's the least I can do since she's cooped up in her pen all day while i'm at work.
Well, that's about it for now....
Take care
EG

We have one of those dogs that makes you sweep the grass for limbs before mowing too. Glad ours can't get into the garden!
What a Happy Dog!! I have never seen a dog eat watermelon before.
Can't wait to see your melon on Monday!
Have a nice weekend :)
I love the pic with the watermelon. My dog would eat the craziest things. She loved when I was chopping things in the kitchen and would sit right next to me waiting for me to drop something.
Your melon looks beautiful! I wish I liked them, they are so darn pretty, but you better believe now I'm going to throw down my melon that's in the fridge in front of Sprocket the Wonder Dog and see what she does with it LOL!
Good luck with your head cold. I am getting over one myself. Handsome dog, Jude is.
Carrie - dogs sure can be mischievious at times, but certainly worth a few laughs along the way, too!
robin - yeah, ol' Jude has a big party in the yard every evening. Heh.
Daphne - the biggest problem, is that she'll eat absolutely anything!
Erin - maybe sprocket will acquire a taste for it!
Jeff - thanks, man...
What a sweetheart.
That watermelon of yours looks great! I'll try melons again next year.
I love Jude! She is absolutely adorable. And that is a great pic of her eating the watermelon.
I had a German Shepherd that used to steal the icebox melons out of my garden before I could pick them. He just loved watermelon!
