Look what that stupid “rabbit” did to my mulch. Harrumph. – Murphy

I thought it was rain that brought out the Electric Mustard Mulch Puke (Dog Barf Fungus), but it turned out that it needs heat to really bloom. Like most of the country we’ve had more than our share of that this week. Fortunately Murphy doesn’t show much of an interest in the fungus. (I know a certain other pup who would have tempted fate by tasting it.)
******************************
A good way to spend these miserably hot days of summer is to stay indoors reading Dream Our World! (Plus, proceeds help Murphy’s Biscuit Fund.)
Inside, Geordie and Toby view the world of art from a canine perspective while enjoying a day of unsupervised fun. There are a lot of hidden stories inside Dream Our World, and it is a joy for all ages. Treat yourself to a summer read that is both fun and educational!
Dream Our World, and other fine gifts, are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.
The Adventures of Bitey Dog 
i never saw that fungus but it does look like dog barf. Does it make dogs barf or is that just how it looks?
😆. So far none of my guys has eaten any, so I’m not sure. I guess it looked enough like dog barf to whoever named it. I think my name is more accurate, but whatever….
we don’t do mulch anymore – that stuff looks NASTY!
Fortunately it goes away after a few days. The neon color is a bit disturbing, though. 😆
What do you do for weed suppression if not mulch? Do you use something else or just ignore the plant-y visitors?
We have very little lawn or garden area so we use that black messy stuff or just ignore them
And there I was expecting that a fake bunny had torn up your daffodils!
Ooh, maybe that’s what happened to them!!
THE HEAT MAKES FOR ALL SORTS OF NASTIES EVOLVE
HUGSSSS
Unfortunately the heat kept me up too. 🙄. If the fungus could blog it would likely be complaining about the ugly human out walking at 3:00 am.
That is a funky fungus.
Sounds like a dance from the ‘70s! 🪩 🕺 💃
Oh, Murphy! Those darn fake rabbits can be so pesky! 😦 You are such a good boy 🙂 for leaving that nasty fungus alone. 🙂
(((HUGS))) and much ❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!! 🙂
Geordie used to bark at the anthropomorphized bunny decorations yet miss the real rabbits sitting in front of him. 🙄. Sometimes puppies can be so clueless!
Hope nice things are happening for you and yours! ❤️💕🍫. (Hey, what’s nicer than chocolate?)
Chocolate! OOH! 😉 😀
That’s so cute and funny about Geordie and wascally wabbits! 😛
Maybe it’s the ghost of the dispatched bunnies coming back to haunt you. They and their ancestors rising up to slowly torment your soul. (LOL!)
In any case, congratulations on progressing with your one item per day removal plan! I’m curious did you ever recall the origin of the Chinese shade. Maybe it was from a party? A special occasion or dinner? Something from a lifetime ago. Maybe you just loved the color or the cultural reference to Asia? And about the letter from the forgotten person…, was it signed, dated, return address — what was the message, the time in your life it was from – meaning where were you and what were you doing. It’s a rare day I forget a person or even an object. It may not matter all the time, but it all matters.
Tell Murphy to blame the yellow fungus on the neighborhood cat. 🙂
Anony-mouse and The Terrier
I decided not to read the letter, and I have no recollection of the lantern. I’m OK with that. It made it easier to move them along.
From the amount of clutter I still have around, I’m going to need to do this challenge at least two or three more times. 🙄
(Can I blame the mulch puke on the skunks? I don’t like them. – Murphy)
Hope you and The Terrier are having fun in the sun this summer!
