Dog's World

Pogi did flush out a jackrabbit this morning and chased it, but met me at the leash hookup location. He's being a good dog.

Just now, he was pleased when I put up his unfinished food, so he wouldn't have to guard it from Halo.

The two dogs joined forces and barked at two Jehovah's Witnesses Missionaries, who took the hint and moved on to another house.

Garden Update August 21

I harvested the lion's share of the eggplant, and have left maybe 10 small ones to develop. Instead of picking tomatoes today, I did a heavy neem oil spraying of the yellow squash. I'm hoping the spray will be effective and not done too late. I may give up yellow squash in the future, as it is so susceptible to aphids and mites.

The Drums Of War

A few months ago ISIS were "junior varsity" terrorists but now the US Secretary Of Defense says they're "threat beyond anything we've seen". I don't trust the judgment or motives of the current administration.
