This is Olivia.
She belongs to our neighbor Chett
She is a really good dog. If you are ever bored she will chase a stick for hours. She always comes over to greet us when we get home.
She got into our garbage a few times. She delighted in going through everything looking for snacks. (no worries Chett, it was our fault for leaving the lids off)
I was out there the other day and noticed a rather nice patch of tomatoes growing where she must have spread some tomatoe scraps around.
It's amazing, we worked so hard last year trying to grow tomatoes and Olivia has this nice bed going by just planting them and ignoring them!
She also must have spread some parrot food around as she is growing sunflowers too.
I have tried to grow sunflowers for two years now without success.
So, thanks Olivia! Next year maybe some lettuce and cucumbers?
What a talented dog. Since she doesn't have thumbs does she have a "green paw"?
I can't seem to be sucessful at growing anything but weeds.

how great that olivia has been such a help! i was cracking up reading about all she planted for you =) who woulda thunk, a dog with a green thumb? all our dog ever did was pick our tomatoes and cucumbers the minute they ripened, then take two bites out of them and leave them strewn about the yard, like "what? i left you a few bites..."
