The Pumpkin Patch

I’m not sure if the Great Pumpkin will visit us, but it looks like the Great Horned Owl did.

This year my garden yielded mostly rabbits and bugs. The exception was that I did get pumpkins. I took this picture while I was still harvesting them, so this isn’t their full number. In all I picked 49.

(Off to the left is what happens if you don’t pick zucchini in time.)

Can we go visit the garden?

While the pumpkins were in the garden, Murphy didn’t seem to realize what they were. He was more interested in the rotten tomatoes.

When I moved the pumpkins to the porch, he still didn’t seem to recognize what they were.

Once I started bringing them inside to cook them, he suddenly noticed them. Now he is a total pest wanting more, more, more. (I tried handing him one of the smaller pumpkins to play with or eat, but he turned his nose up at it. He wanted it cooked first.)

Gimme! Gimme! That’s dog food. I know it!

What's up with the hat, Carmen Miranda? It's not a hat. I just keep sticking my head in my bowl before the food falls in.

No matter how much training we do, Toby frequently ends up wearing his dinner. I imagine his groomer is mystified at the myriad of things stuck to his head.

Personally, I don’t see the problem.

Thankies, the Thank You Handkerchiefs, are a perfect way to tell someone just how much you appreciate them in a way that is longer lasting than a paper card.  Or, you can use them to clean your puppy's head after his dinner!

Thank You Handkerchiefs and other fine gifts are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

The Sharing Dish

As I emptied the contents of the crock pot into a container today, Geordie kept hitting my leg to remind me that he would like a taste.  Toby, on the other hand, was off in an other room playing with his toys.  (He doesn’t take food work as seriously as his brother.)

Thinking that Geordie would enjoy a private little treat, I quietly placed some food in his dish.  Normally he would run over and scarf it down.  Instead, he sat beside his dish looking up at me.   He looked toward the food, then toward Toby’s dish, than back at me.  Oh my gosh, he wouldn’t eat until I had given Toby some too!  We called Toby over, and he enjoyed some home-cooking shoulder to shoulder with his big brother.

When Toby first arrived, Geordie couldn’t stand to be in the same room as him.  Now he won’t eat goodies without sharing.  It’s so sweet it makes my eyes all leaky!

Really?  I can have some too?
