It keeps getting bigger

last year

My family it is.

You remember my post about our newest dog, Cookie? She is doing great BTW. Well, I could not figure out why my SO was so wishy washy about her. She's not bothering anything, so why was he not as into the thought of keeping her as I was?

Well, turns out he had a surprise in store for me for Christmas.

Meet Pepper. SO named her. She was a Christmas surprise and the reason SO was so hesitant to bring yet another critter home for me to care for. She is so cute! I do not LOVE the puppy stage but I do love puppies! SO welcome Pepper (Her Grace, The Duchess Bernadette Pepperpot, Pepper for short) to my family!

lindakimy, I'm sure yours will do well also. I was hesitant as we are zone 4 and it is classed as a zone 5 and above plant. But has never faltered here. I planted it in 2004 I believe, and we have had a few rough winters since then. Annie, there's always room for one more? :-) I almost hate to mention it, but the house color is changing next spring. We will be building a garage then and with that much more siding, the pink/salmon would just be too much. Right now we are thinking of using the green that is on the trim for the siding color and picking a different color for trim. Annette, not sure how your zones are classed. Are they the same as ours? Flowerlady...yes, bigger every year! Thinking maybe next year I should give it a second prune in early summer. Glad that everyone is enjoying seeing the pictures. It really is a sight to see!

Mysterious Holes + Smell with Shirts
Q
Comments (2)
Many of us are dealing with the holes issue. My thought is the fabrics are not of good quality anymore. As far as the smells go, it could be the fabric itself is not great. You could try washing the shirt in fairly hot water with extra rinses, and then line dry it. Line drying in the sunshine will kill any bacteria or mold that may be lingering. If that doesn't solve the issue then it's something weird with the fabric itself.

I can't see the stems very clearly. If they're square, it might be Pycnanthemum tenuifolium. Check and see if it the foliage has any fragrance when crushed.

Well, it’s a perfect name combo! There is a Swedish Christmas cookie called pepparkakor! A thin, crispy gingerbread, rolled and cut into shapes. Uh oh, next thing you know a ginger cat will walk into your lives.

How many dogs do you have now? I remember Leo, and one other? Is everyone getting along?

We have 4 dogs and a cat now. Yes, everyone gets along great. George, the cat is always a little skeptical at first, but I took him with Cookie to the vet, as it was time for his yearly shots anyway. He was not happy in his carrier, though he likes the attention he gets at the vet. Cookie was a great comfort to him. When he would meow in distress, she would go to his carrier and he would bump his head against hers through the carrier. So now they are good friends. He and Leo have always been BFFS. And our old 13 year old dog is really laid back and pretty much okay with anything going on. Leo is very excited about Pepper. And Pepper seems happy to meet Leo too. Leo was not as thrilled when Cookie showed up, not sure why, but now they are friends.

Oh yes, my SO actually does most of the training. He is much better at it than I. I do more of the day to day care and vet visits, baths, giving any meds, stuff like that. He does the bulk of the behavior stuff.

Pepper reminds me of my favorite dog Ziggy who died last year. I love black and white dogs.

Amylou, I once had a ginger tabby named George! He was a kitten that was crying in the parking lot one midnight when I left work - the lot was alongside the riverbank and he was huddling there, soaking wet - I think he had been tossed into the river but managed to escape.

He had a great personality, as I think ginger tabbies tend to have - very friendly, loving, and well behaved.

All are adorable, but I love George the most! He looks like my ginger, Poppy. But she isn't the most loving, friendly cat in the house. That goes to the boys, Willy and Bernie.
