green thumbs

Behind the house is my yard where I lay in the sun and chew bones and dance around with Eva Peace. But a few weeks ago, the Man and the Lady took us past the gate to the little yard on the side of the house. Flowers grow back there, and sometimes I go with the Lady or the Man to water them. This time, we brought some new plants with us to put in the dirt-filled boxes that Eva and I like to walk in.

Here I am helping hold the trowel.

Handing the trowel over to the Lady so she can dig a hole for the new tomatoes.

Chaperoning as the Man waters a new tomato plant.

Here I am making sure there's enough water to make tomatoes with.

Me, getting ready to watch my tomato plant grow.

No sir! That cage is not for me--I am not a tomato!

Getting hugs and pets now that the planting is done.

(PS: Don't worry about the funny thing on my ear in some of the pictures. I just had a hematomato growing on my ear that had to be fixed at the doctor's office. It's all better now!)
