Yard Work GALORE!!!!

It's so nice to get back outside in the sun and wind (not so much that) and get your hands dirty again!! Friday was a really nice day to get some yard work completed. This weekend isn't shaping up to be too nice. So, Friday was IT!!!!!

The 3 dogs were out front romping, playing and rolling in smelly things. Seeker LOVES to chase Kruz when they are outside. He is OCD when it comes to herding this particular Border Collie. Interestingly enough, it's Mad Dog that he teases and taunts into playing indoors. I guess it's nice that he gives "playtime" to both of the more "mature" dogs. If Mad or Kruz tires of Seeker, he simply finds his own game to play. Chasing leaves (see the wind is good for something!), or occassionally he'll find a lid that was used for a marker. This winter he discovered the "recycle bin" in the chicken coop and what could be MORE fun than a empty milk jug!! Okay, obviously a full one, but we don't keep those in the chicken coop. G

So I'm raking and notice Seeker has found an old milk jug and was tossing it in the air. Having a great ole time. I thought I should go and get my camera and take some shots. Well, you know how that goes, Camera comes out and then they ALL want to know what your doing vs. being cute. So, I got a new milk jug, which Mad quickly decided was HERS!!!!! Kruz got the old one and Seeker, he could care less.....he had dogs to CHASE!!!!

It's really important to find the appropriate place to carry a milk jug.
It makes sense to me that you would use the handle, but here Mad shows
a different technique. This is easier until a little customizing can be accomplished.

While customizing does take time, for the skilled craftdog, it can be very rewarding!!

You can gage an "older" milk jug by it's color and shape.
Luckily, the recycling place doesn't seem to mind and it makes more room for others!

Of course with Tomato Plants coming in the next month,
I'll be needing some of those milk jugs to remain intact!

Can someone tell me why I bother buying toys again????
