Spring finally came with a bang and a boom. Don’t I look beautiful in front of the peonies and the knock-out roses?
Sadly, Mom is not smiling. Her roses have some kind of blight that has destroyed all the leaves, but not the flowers. V and Mom think it is something called Sawflies (aka rose slugs, saw worms), It is ravaging the neighborhood. We thought it was just the knock-out roses, but then we saw it hit the regular roses too. Now we think it is the same pest that has been eating our mugo pines the last few years. Everything looks all dried up and yucky. Mom loves roses (V not so much). Maybe we should pee on them and the larvae will die? That would be better than all the hand picking of larvae needed to get rid of them. Mom thinks it is too late to save any of the bushes this year since they are already gone.
What to do?
Hope you are having a great Wednesday despite our rose slugs.

There is always some mischief going on in the street that needs to be checked on – no matter whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter. Sofie was looking down the block yesterday for the new little red kit that seems to follow us on our walks. Just what we needed, another red fox in the neighborhood! Noel communed with the solar flower last summer, until someone (who will remain nameless) closed the window on it’s head. Give a cat an open window and she will just get ‘silly.’ Mini Cooper found a stinkbug last fall (which isn’t hard to do on that sunny side of the house) and decided it might be good to eat (was she ever surprised). And Louise looks toward Mojo Risings house, no matter what season, to see if the love of her life might be going for a walk or out in his yard.
What mischief did you get into today?

Louise loves her alligator and Easter peep. I turned around and she was sleeping with them on the office bed. I love when they use their fluffy toys as pillows. Louise loves a good squeaker. This peep has made it past a month; to us, that is a really good squeaker.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Don’t you think it’s time to take the cover off the pool, Mom?
(In my defense it was stormy and rainy for weeks. Who knew that it was going to go from 40 degrees to 90 in one day?? – Mom)

Sometimes we think that Mom thinks we are just statues to sit in the garden with her flowers. It has been raining for 15 straight days now, so getting out, even for a little while, is worth it. Mom had a good crop of iris this year. There is only one peach colored iris amongst the bunch. With so much rain everything is green and soggy. That makes for happy plants, Mom says. And smelly dogs.

For some strange reason, Peanut’s iphone uploaded old pictures of Sofie Bear, from when she was a puppy, back into a current photo album. Maybe the phone wanted us to remember those times, so I had her send them to me, and I made this Sofie puppy collage. Sofie was 5 years old last November. She was such a cute pup. It is easy to forget how tiny they were as puppies. The rescue thought she was a collie/shepard and about 12 weeks old, but now that we know she is a sheltie/mischief mix, she might have been a little older for her size. She was still all puppy! I am not so sure Louise knew what to make of this PEST for the first few months. Sofie followed her everywhere and wanted to be next to her or on her. Love love love love. Louise is so patient.
Happy Wordless Wednesday

I have been walking two dogs for so long it is second nature to me. From changing hands behind my back, because someone goes right and then left, or stretching my arms so wide that you would think I was a tree, I have got this down. Yes, those are knots in the lines that you see; I do that on every leash. First, I do that so I can grip the leash lower down at certain intervals when I want to shorten up and, also so that I can drop a leash and step on it without it running right under my foot. A funny thing happens if/when I do drop someone’s lead, they stop and turn around and look at me with a ‘what’s a matter with you’ face. Do you do a leash dance? What’s yours like?
