Since the various weather agencies have agreed that we're getting some snow, I knew it was time to rake. The leaves were hiding much poop from view. Last year I didn't rake and the dogs worked our carpet good with bits of leaves and turds. Not this year...

Bubba's feet need to be trimmed before we go rompin' around in the snow. I'll do that in the morning...

Wait...who's this new mountain dog mixing in with your guys?
Looks like you had a lot of leaves to rake up - though at least it was all more or less contained to one area.

Your crew is looking as good as always!

She's Jasmine. My friend's dog, and she's just now growing out of the puppy stage and integrating into my group. Oops.




...and an update from today featuring Bubba!!!









Finally snowing.

I am in a 2 week break between dogs. I got down some grass seed and straw last week with only a 4 year old around. Yesterday I raked the leaves and put down fertilizer in the back yard. This was the end of a prolonged landscaping project. If Lowes had any sod left, I would bought some. The grass hardly has a chance, bad soil, north side of the house, a huge osage orange tree, and dogs. I hope we still have enough warm weather for the grass to establish itself well enough to over winter. We are getting a 7 week old Lab 8 November. I don't think she will be too hard on the grass before the ground freezes.

Zephyr is a 4 year old Lab belonging to our daughter. He should be here from time to time for the rest of his life.

I've heard that planting grass in the fall is the best time to plant. I'm not sure why, but that's what I've heard... so hopefully it will do well.

We had a very dry summer that hurt some of the grass I have managed to start. Grass does much better in cool,wet weather. If you get it established enough in the fall not to winter kill, it gets a second cool, wet period in the spring before facing the hot, dry summer.

To keep the puppy from stomping it down into the mud, I sometimes tether it out front.

Your dogs are beautiful!

lol, thanks for reminding me...I've been meaning to trim the dogs feet for about a week (you should see all the mud prints on my floors right now).
