The last Day of August

I don't know about you guys but we here,, are so tired of 100 plus degrees days!!! Monday it got up to 107 here at the house. Everyday it has been over 100 degrees for so long now!!!!!

Tinker has been here one month and 2 days today!!! She has learned a lot but it hasn't been easy!! She is very hard headed!! HARD HEADED!!!!!
She is house broken!!!!! That wasn't hard for me to do!!!
She knows her name and comes when called !! That was harder!!
She doesn't chew anything in the house but her own toys!! Hard!!
She is trying to be sweet to the cat ----- Very hard but we are making lots of progress!!
She has stopped biting me when we are outside----b/c I am carrying a squirt bottle of water and she hates water!!!!! She really has been doing pretty good for only one month and her being so hard headed!!!
Tinker is very loving when she wants to be.
She gos and gets in her crate when she sees me getting ready for bed.
When I am on the computer she is in her chair right next to me!!
Tinker is very much my dog!!!
That is our progress for the month!!

Love coming your way, Tinker and Fern

Very Good Advice !!!!

Hi dear Blog friends, very good advice you all gave me!! I am going to try the NO thing holding my arms across my breast. She thinks they are nice chews!!! Then I'll go on to the can thing!!! When Bruce was a puppy I would put a ball in his mouth every time he got near me !!!! All his life when he saw me after being apart he would quick find a ball when he came to greet me!!! It was so cute!! Bambi was a puppy too but she was so smart all I had to do was tell her No one time and she never did it again!! . She was so special!!!
I am making egg plant and spinach soup today. It has tomatoes and kidney beans, onions, and all the good herbs we grow in it and some millet for filler oh and a couple of hot peppers too!!! It is going to be so good!!! The only thing we had to buy was the millet, kidney beans and the spinach. Our spinach left some time ago--- too too HOT!!!!!
It has been a awful hot and dry summer!!! I am so tired!!!!
Thanks again for your very good advice friends!!!

Tinker ------- the good and the bad

Tinker-- the bad !!
Tinker ------the good!!!
Can you see the difference???????????? I surely can!!!!!!!

Tinker has two sides to her!!! She can be the sweetest nicest girl you could ever meet --- like Bambi was!! Then there is this other Tinker--- the bad one!!!!! She is playing with me I know but I am not a dog!!! That is how she is playing with me---- like I am another dog and she is fierce with me. She is playing bitty face with me only she can't quite get to my face--- thank GOD!!!!!

I have to come up with a way to stop her b/c she thinks I am playing with her when I am trying to get her to stop !!!!

That first picture is of her with an egg plant in her mouth and that look she gets when she is thinking of playing bitty face with me!!!
She loves egg plant cooked or raw.

Hope you all had a good week-end, we did.

One days harvest

Morning dear friends, thought I would show you one days harvest, only one days too. I'll get that much again the next day. We dry and freeze our hot peppers. I cook the tomatoes and egg-plant for the freezer to just pull out and defrosted, heat and eat!! I am doing this everyday!!!! That is why with Tinker and the garden work I have done as much as an 75 year old can do!!! What do you think???!!!
Oh by the way freezing the hot peppers is a lot of time consuming work too. You have to wash and cut up before freezing..................
