I can hardly wait until I’m old and incontinent, LOL!
Dolly appears to be on the mend from her UTI, but she has woken me up around midnight 2 nights in a row for a potty break. At least she’s doing that! She has her last potty break around 7pm - then she goes to bed - smart girl!
Neither of us has the heart to put her back out in the Puppy Pen kennel in the barn in this kind of weather, so she may end up in our biggest indoor kennel with a blanket on one end, and newspapers on the other if there are other future problems.
Growin’ old ain’t for Sissies!

Lettuce, Yugoslavian Red

Mostly old favorites, but the Mongolian Giant Sunflower is new to me, as is Lina Sisco’s Bird Egg. It is a bush drying bean - VERY pretty, and I will over plant in the two beds where most of my spring bulbs are planted and they can both grow and dry right there. No muss, no fuss! (Making life easier for myself in the garden is the GOAL this season!)
I also discovered a new name for the next female puppy I raise - ‘Tarahumara’ which is a Sunflower. We already have a female Plott Hound named ‘Arikara’ - another Sunflower - who answers to ‘Ricky’ so ‘Tarahumara’ could answer to ‘Tara.’ :)
The unique names are good selling points and also look SO COOL on their registration papers. ;)
My late Basset Hound, ‘Rufus’ had fancy papers. His Mom was ‘Sophie’ and I forget who had Dad was, but his registered name ended up being, ‘Sophie’s Choice Rufus.’
