Today I finally managed to plant my herbs in a 5th garden bed. They are vaguely in the shape of a sunshine and I aimed to plant strong scents like lavender, mint, onions and garlic around the outside so as to discourage deer and become a perennial green fence. There are already deer tracks through my nice, soft, freshly dug and planted beds! Hunting season starts in a few days... or maybe the herbs will work.
Tilly is such a smart puppy and so eager to learn and work. Today she is 9 weeks old and almost instantly learned "come", "sit", (lay) "down", "high five" (paw), and we are working on "heel", "spin", and maybe tomorrow we will start on "stay". "No" and "yes" seem to be getting through as well, she's doing better at walking on a leash, though she knows where we live so she fusses about leaving and is overly eager to come back. So far, only peed in the hose twice and it was before I knew better on the first night and morning. Since then, she has been excellent about waiting and doing all her business outside in some appropriate place. Tonight she got to spend time with us on Tim's dad's boat up in Oak Harbor, though she thought it was more fun to curl up on a mountain of toys in her kennel and pass out. What a happy dog and a great puppy we have!
