Furry Friday: Three Big Events

July is pretty momentous here.

Sully came to us three years ago this month. He was four and a half at the time, so I guess that makes him seven now. He’s super chill and still acts like a four-year-old.

Work Wednesday: Summer Harvest

I was complaining this morning, to myself, that the garden seemed slow this year. I’d harvested a few jalapenos, but everything else was taking its sweet time. This morning, when I walked through the garden, I was surprised by a few tomatoes – dark cherries a friend gave me and some Early Girls.

They need to sit on the counter for a few days to fully ripen. I follow a tomato guru and in his videos, he says the flavor will be the same if they finish ripening on the counter or on the vine, but you’ll have fewer problems – bugs, weather – if you bring them in as soon as they are ripening.

I’m Told It’s Caturday

So I guess my crew is up. The dogs are not offended as we got in a nice walk before the heat hit.

I have a ridiculous amount of cute Reggie photos. Dude is super photogenic.

And infinitely curious. My niece said he follows me around like a puppy, and I guess he does. But he’s still awfully independent and I can go most of the day without seeing him sometimes. But yesterday, he did help with laundry.

After that, there was power napping with his (actually Bixby’s ) stuffed elephant.

I acquired a new cat tree because I felt Reggie needed a safe place to climb and jump. Sully approves.

And finally, Willow napping after a busy morning helping me garden.
