A Perfect Chiots Weekend

September 3rd, 2008

Lucy had a great labor day weekend, she got to do all the things she loves to do. Lucy LOVES car rides, she loves to stick her head out the window and smell the world (I can only drive about 45mph because that’s her limit). She got to take 3 car rides this weekend. Saturday morning she went with me to the farmer’s market.

Funny enough, she doesn’t like to have her photo taken, so this is what happened when she caught me.

Lucy is also a HUGE fan of watermelon. So whenever we eat it she waits patiently for the rind (her favorite is the bowl end).

She’ll eat right down to the rind, and if she thinks you didn’t give her a big enough piece she’ll eat the rind.

Lucy also has a little Jack Russell friend named Ollie. She loves to go to his house to visit and run around his yard with him. They have a grand time together. Since we spent time on Saturday and Sunday with Ollie’s parents, Lucy got to spend 2 afternoons with her buddy.

3 car rides + 2 watermelon rinds + 2 afternoons with Ollie = Lucy’s perfect weekend

What did your dog do this weekend?

This is a journal of my small organic gardens in north eastern Ohio, zone 5(a). Our gardens are named after our dog Lucy, a big brown/black lab mix from the local pound. We started calling her “Chiots” when she was a puppy and the name stuck. She thinks the yard and gardens belong to her, she chases away all squirrels & rabbits and the UPS man.

Our yard is very small and fairly shady, we are surrounded by woods all 3 sides. The soil is made up of rocks and clay, not the best, but I’ve spent 7 years adding chicken manure & compost. When we first moved in 8 years ago, the gardens were in terrible shape from years of neglect and too many chemical pesticides and fertilizers. It has taken years to reset the balance of nature and we're finally starting to see the fruit of our efforts. We unearth worms when we dig and we are seeing more and more birds and beneficial insects in the gardens. The soil is also starting to improve after years and years of hard work amending it with all kinds of organic compost.
