Hopefully a soaking rain today and much cooler temps has #GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey practicing her magic tricks like this floating snoot/sawed in half illusion.

Outdoor cats, 0/10. #GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey nearly had this garden interloper by tail yesterday (it came to kill birds). This is a city—dogs, cars, e-scooters & bikes, coyotes, rodents filled w/poison, angry raccoons. Why risk your cat coming home hurt or never?
They used to be too long and now I can barely tie them. I wonder if they just tasted good or if it was spite. Either way it explains why she had an upset tummy the past day or so. Another day, another Cattle Dog surprise! 🤪

Getting dressed to plant windfall of clearance #NativePlants plugs—someone has chewed shoelaces off my waterproof gardening sneakers off at the eyes. My #1 suspect has been mad at me for a few weeks for not letting her hunt in the yard.

I cut back some tall sedum to make room for transplanting a rose next to them in July so they’re pushing 2nd flush of blooms. #GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey likes to stick her face in this one as much as #pollinators do. 🤷♀️

Had to take my favorite senior citizen to last of her annual specialist MD visits today & Mr. CMG came down at lunch to find #GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey not only in my chair but hiding under the blanket wrap like a naughty raccoon waiting for dusk. 💯 Something new every day! 🤣
#GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey & I have more in common than I like to admit. Stubborn, impulsive, determined—her policing her domain, me blanking on telling myself I was done planting for the year when clearance #NativePlants came up. 72 plugs & 30 plants inbound. 🫣
I changed her collar over to reflect the fall leaves that are starting to turn colors but I have not granted the walkies request yet so she’s deflating like one of the inflatable car dealer dancing guys. 🙃
#GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey is proudly rocking her #MilkweedForMonarchs #butterflies collar in preparation for migration season & monitoring the backyard through the new “gate”.
Our #GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey is 8-ish but still has destruction in her heart & recently learned how to release herself for hunting thru patio slider. She doesn’t listen to my lectures that chill is better even though she got leash-only duty & bunnies were never fazed. 🫠
Went for extended walkies with #GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey this morning and stopped to admire this impressive window melon.

Fresh from the groomers, it’s Pumpkin Spice She-A-Lotté. 🤭
Demand for snoot boops & belly rubs is very high this morning.
We had a soaking rain! Plants rejoiced but it was very humid for humans so we closed windows to run dehumidifier. So 2nd day we have open windows & #WeAreAllZoey is already scheming a way around screen door blocker. 🫠 So glad we have more rain coming tomorrow.
This baby seal pup keeps glaring at me because she hit her “walk” button multiple times and won’t accept “sorry, raining” as an answer.
Yesterday was AC weather but today is glorious 72F as a high so windows open again and so refreshing. Meanwhile, #WeAreAllZoey is *extremely* disappointed to learn that actions do have consequences. Must now find sniffs from behind bars. 😬
Heard clatter from kitchen last night after dark. #WeAreAllZoey popped slider screen out & was deep in biggest garden bed flushing out both rat & bunny. Baby dingo had to be carried inside still raring to go when she finally flew out of shrubs. Very pleased with herself.
