June 2023: Lazy Dogs & Sleepy Bees

I can’t get over The Red Menace’s expression. He looks like the dog that ate all the edibles: 

Busy bees: 

Sleepy bee: 

Another sleepy bee: 

We’ve grown runner beans before but these have been our most successful ones to date. Also, look at how tall the corn is in the background: 

I think this is my grainiest backyard garden harvest photo ever: 

I wish the leafcutter bee was more in focus but you take what you can get: 

I was glad to see this female ruby-throated hummingbird. We’ve seen a few males but this was the first female. She is big & healthy. She has definitely made the trip from Central America to Tennessee more than once. I expect we’ll start seeing more females & juveniles as they start fledging:

Bdubs pupby bduppy

My first thought for dog bdubs was "i want to make him a pug - but not a pug pug bc just.. No" I changed my mind countless times until I eventually returned to my original idea of a pug mix - so a Pug/Lhasa Apso mix is what he is!

✨ i have commissions open! :D ✨

We adopted this gorgeous girl back in May of last year. Her name is Minnie and this was her first experience of snow with us since we got her.

As you can tell she had a whale of a time!

PORTRAIT

Happy Holidays from Charley!

Charley poses for his holiday portrait on December 10, 2008. This was Charley’s fourth Christmas and his third with a studio portrait. I took this picture of him and he was very patient and cooperative. He stayed still and didn’t mind being moved for the best pose. He enjoyed the experience and the interaction of it. This was one of many studio portraits I took of him over the years. Upper West Side, Manhattan, NYC

June 2023: Harvest & Lurkers In The Dark

Today’s backyard garden harvest: 

This part of the neighborhood had some power out due to recent storms. I could hear the whir of generators. Little did I know that we’d have an encounter in the dark. 

The boys & I were almost to the street corner before that furthest light when a Yorkie ran up barking at us. Its owner apologized saying “I don’t have any control over him.” I politely said “that’s okay” while thinking “no shit! You don’t have control... I can hear the sound of the big ass handle of its retractable lease clattering on the sidewalk.” I pulled Silverback & The Red Menace close so they would know I was “the mastiff” & if any aggression was needed, it would be from me. For those that don’t know, Lhasa Apsos were basically the alarm system at Tibetan monasteries for ages. They barked & the Tibetan mastiffs came running but trust me they followed them into the fray. 

Considering the situation, the boys were well behaved. We finally got to the corner & the Yorkie broke off engagement once we were past the edge of its yard. Its owner asked if “we were alright.” He meant me & him. I said “we’re cool.” No harm had been done & I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I was more concerned about my dogs doing his dog harm than his doing mine any. I mean, The Red Menace, who is the smaller of the two, has 2 rats, 1 squirrel & 3 birds on his kill list. Doing grievous harm to a Yorkie might have been enough to bump him to second level:

I love meeting dog people out in the wild. Met these two ladies with their dogs and they asked if they could see Blue. They had their dogs chill out and allowed Blue to come over and sniff and play a bit. She was unsure and a bit nervous but interested and by the end was trying to kiss and play with the other dogs ;o;

My landlady’s gonna be at Crufts got any spicy takes on Tibetan Terriers? 👀

they were allegedly one of the foundation breeds in developing the polish lowland sheepdog several hundred years ago

i can't find an academic source verifying it but dogs are so alike that breed ancestry testing isn't always reliable either, especially if the mixing happened in the 1500s
