First Real Dog Fight.

The dogs had a fight on the front lawn last night. I was out there within 15 seconds, and separated them. My guess is that Pogi challenged Halo's dominance, and then got his ass kicked. Pogi was shaken up all night, but he doesn't seen to be hurt, and they seem back to normal this morning.

When I took Halo for obedience training, his demeanor made the trainers a little watchful. He's a big, strong, and aggressive alpha male.

I'm getting my harvest under control. This morning, I picked just the ripest tomatoes for a big pot of spaghetti sauce. In a day or so, I'll pick a large batch for canning. It looks like I'll have to freeze dry most of the squash, so as to fit it in the freezer. Dried squash takes 1/4 the volume, and I'm running out of freezer space.

We're still having moderate weather, at the most into the mid-90's, and my watering has slowed to once every four days.
