Woof!

The dogs have figured out the yard and are really enjoying running around now. Pongo actually is down 5 pounds since his previous weigh in back in May. Haven't had the "Squirrel Test" yet, but they have passed the "Walking Dog Test".

I transferred the corn over to the garden on the south side of the house. All of them are looking good. Hopefully, they will get taller and produce real corn this time. I didn't get much of anything last time.

The tomatoes are producing now. Have 4 tomatoes so far. These tomatoes are bigger than I thought they'd be. Sort of like huge grapes.

Fence Progress

After seeing the dogs display shyness during Week 1 of "Correction Training", they seem to have recovered to understanding that only the flags are bad, not the whole yard. It's good to see them enjoying the yard to its fullest. Hopefully, they won't get shy again.

Meanwhile, the robins have flown the coop. And every time I fill the bird feeder, my "guests" empty it out in like one day. I actually saw a hummingbird the other morning at the other feeder out front. Maybe its time to refresh with fresh sweet water.

Only One Left

The dogs got a hold of another youngster yesterday. It flew towards the nest and landed on the patio. I tried to grab Molly to keep her from attacking, but wasn't able to get her in time. Pongo grabbed the bird too, so now only one young robin is left. Hopefully, it will be able to stay alive.

I can only do so much to keep my dogs away. Molly has that killer instinct in her when it comes to small animals like birds, rabbits, squirrels, etc. I was fairly surprised that Pongo joined in.

The dogs have begun to figure out the fence. They are close to being ready for off-leash supervision. To this point, I've let them run with leash attached just in case they did something. I just hope they learn to enjoy the yard without getting the correction. It's an Invisible Fence.

Baby Robins

There were four baby robins in the nest, and two are dead. The two left appeared healthy and ready to fly soon. These are the quietest baby birds EVER. I expect plentiful chirping, but I rarely hear them at all.
