Ruckus teaches me about gardening

We put in a new perennial flower bed this year. Ruckus had surprised me and stayed out of it...until yesterday!



I had been waiting for this flower to bloom. Apparently Ruckus was keeping on eye on it too. Yesterday the flowers started to open and apparently that meant they were a peak eating season for him.

This flower wasn't really good, it just got stepped on so Ruckus could munch on the one behind it. Also Ruckus wants to point out that soaker hose. He says those are the best hoses to chew on because they help with teething and the cool water soothes the gums in the process.

My Lilley flowers are not only beautiful but Yummy too apparently.

Ruckus thinks that Daylillies are very comfortable to lay on and take a nap. Also, he says if you wake up and are hungry, they are great for snacking on too.

Needless to say I spent yesterday evening putting up an ugly fence around my beautiful flower bed to keep the monster out.

Big Feet!

Ruckus needs to grow into his feet! He is almost 5 months old now and his feet are as big as Sadie's and Bella's feet!

 

 

Ruckus meets Diesel

The Dane is this photo is NOT Sadie. This is Diesel. He belongs to my friend Kaleb (pictured) who is a Tech at my Vet's office. Diesel is a 3 year old 165 lb male Harlequin.

About 4 years ago I boarded Sadie at my Vets while we were on vacation. She is an aggressive dog and Kaleb had to take care of her. Amazingly he still had all his fingers when we picked her up, but he saw her and decided he wanted a Harlequin Dane too.

Kaleb found Diesel and the cool thing is, Sadie and Diesel both have 1 blue eye and 1 brown eye, but on Diesel they are opposite sides from Sadie.

Kaleb brought Diesel out into the waiting room and my youngest son looked at him confused and said "Sadie?"..lol.

Then and Now

This was Ruckus at 8 weeks old.

I took this one today to compare how much he has grown

 

 

 

 

Ruckus is rotten!

Ruckus has a really bad habit of sitting on the other dogs. Usually he straddles Sadies neck with his back legs and then reaches over her head and trys to take her toys away.

 

 

 

 

Bella and Ruckus are finally friends

Ruckus finally quit trying to chew on Bella all the time. She enjoys playing with him now.

 

 

 

 

Ears Gone Wild!

For the past week Ruckus' ears are just goofy. They are huge and floppy and are always flipped inside out. He also scruntches the top of his head and his ears stand up.
