Yesterday’s VP finds were a cranesbill perennial geranium which went into the hosta garden, and a mystery plant that I put in along the woods edge for now. Both areas are turning into actual gardens, even if not strictly native.
I dug all the water bowls into the ground more for easier critter access. Birds and amphibians tend to utilize “puddles” more than raised bird baths. I added rocks to each so nobody drowns.
I was able to photo this monarch on the milkweeds!
I’m getting to the garden tweaks phase now, refining it for aesthetic and practical purposes.
Loucious and Billie were actually outside together with no real issues. They mostly ignored each other, Billie nervously grazing, and Loucious showing off maniacally to keep his status intact. At one point Billie got the zoomies, as if wanting to join in the action, but L continued to ignore her. So that’s progress.
I am so glad the dogs are “getting along”, eeeeehm, not killing each other! We never had the stamina or risk acceptance (or opportunity) to try. Yet another way that Loucious gets to experience life like he never has! I am so happy for him.
I’m not sure L would agree with you right now! Billie is this tiny cowering fluff-ball, but Loucious is so insecure and threatened he’ll be upstaged. He’s whining and outdoing himself showing off to prove his superiority! Mostly they just avoid each other. It’s very entertaining. Good rehearsal for the next dog visitor, who is more substantial.
