What is your weather like ... today

[Mike in Vermont]

It only got up to 40 degrees here, today. Windy and cloudy too.

Well maybe momma was about 15 pounds in early summer but now she looks kinda out of shape and looks bigger now since she had pups.
Rio is getting much larger than other siblings. I saw today the other sister puppy that was fathered by pug dad and she is much smaller and her mouth and head are very small compared to Rio.
Rio had lots of good food to eat today. Fresh baby potatoes and carrots roasted in unsalted Gee butter, mashed and served with organic juicy chicken. Very spoiled by hubby all day too. I think she is really growing large and I see a change every day. Today she was barking her sweet little head off with the big old puppies! !

Weather is just beautiful and I think maybe it will stay nice for a while. Tomorrow I am off so I will rake the leaves good.

32 this am, tomato plants were covered with green ones yesterday, will see if they survive the freeze, pond dropped to 53. I need to shut it down, the bog cools the water so fast when it is cold at night.

No long hair on Mama or her other mate (pug). Well all I know for sure is puppy is looking lots lIke Bears side of family. The little Mama was here all spring, all the time, sneaking into our yard thew the gap in the old gate.... until I fixed that gate later in the summer. I told that woman that she was getting in threw the gate and that I was worried for her that Poppy might bite her. That lady is two doors down in a small rental house, and her power goes out cause they forget to pay the bill and they partied all summer long well her little Mexican dog was running off with Bear! Her dog is about 25 pounds I think.. Bear is about 80 pounds. Bear may look big but he is not that tall, little shorter than a Shepard.. I think if she stood under him that would work maybe.... Who knows for sure, but my vet says "stranger things have happened"!

My little Boston Terrier (15#) got bred by the neighbor's dog that was every bit as tall and large as your Bear dog last spring. The timing would be 4 months ago, so the mama do would have been bred in June for her to have a 7 week old puppy now. I'd say it's very possible. Looks like little Rio is going to take after her mama in size, though, and she's ADORABLE!!!! Big dogs do not mean they control the little ones. Addy can probably attest to this as well ... those little ones usually take care of themselves just fine. And, puppies rule the roost, no matter the size of their playmates.
I am going to wait until about 8 this morning and then call Sissy. I will let you all know what I learn. Her phone is not set up for texts, I already tried that, and I was gone Fri/Sat to the Covered Bridge Festival with my sister, she left yesterday afternoon, and I'm just now catching back up. Crossing my fingers all is well, and she is just extremely busy!

Funny, but if your little pup is only 2#, my biggest puppy, the female, is 1# 11 oz as of yesterday, so not far behind! Here are pics we took yesterday. Denali is looking pretty thin, everything is going to her milk for the puppies, so will be giving her some gravy or something to get her to eat more now.

This little one, all 5 lbs of her, thinks she is the total boss of the neighborhood..............yes they can take care of them selves, to a certain extent

Let us know as soon as you call CE if you do or do not reach her. Thanks

Addy, My tomato's all froze off long ago, back in early September when we had a hard frost, but since then we have have been getting nice weather, but still the odd frost at nights. I need to get working in greenhouse and tidy that up and put new plastic up. This week should be a easy week and I get three days off! The other days are half days cause I said I needed time to get new puppy settled in and I hate to leave her for too long.

Little Rio was dragging her pee pee pads all around the house this morning. Now after terrorizing the house she put her little self back into her little den that I got for her. It really is just a cat house but it works for her and she likes it.
Rio was born September 1 and she was the first born. I have only had her since Thursday, but she has grown since then quite a bit. She is now visibly larger than her other siblings. I think she is much bigger than when I first got her and had her weighted at the Vet. 4 short days ago. I feel like we are tightly bonded now, she jumps for joy and runs little circles around my feet, when she first wakes up after nap time and sees me.

Meanwhile Maury Show to determine "Are You My Daddy"!!!

ThIs Rio's little cat house, inside her pop up play pen, so she could feel safe and have her very own space. I put pee pad outside playpen door for now cause she pee's when she wakes up. I try to get her outside as soon as she wakes to make pee out front.

She sure looks bigger to me also! Did the vet say how big she would get?

 

[callingcolleen1]

VET said she would be small but I think she will be bigger than her little Momma , who I am not really sure what she weighs, cause I was just guessing, so I will ask the lady how much her dog weights. Her old pictures from Wednesday, when we first saw her, show quite a difference already. hubby holding her Wednesday night after he got home from work. Her ears were not standing then and she seemed so much more delicate then.

My tomatoes froze a long time ago too. 40 this morning, bottom of pond is 49.8
and today sunny with a high of 72. After today the day time temps drop into the 50's .
Not working today so I'm going to do my last big water change and clean up around the pond. I'm thinking it's not going to be to much longer before I shut my waterfall down.

 

[callingcolleen1]

Soon I will remove my leaf nets and change the biguest pumps out to smaller flow pumps, but weather so mild that I have not done that yet.

 

[HARO]

Crappy weather! High of 50 F, rained all day. The sun never even bothered to get up! Too bad I did.

55° today, cloudy, and a cool breeze. A few rain drops but mostly dry. Looks like dry weather for the next week, and temps all the way up to 63°

Very nice.
Our fall here is lasting longer than 5 minutes for a change.
It figures, since I bought the new snowblower attachment, I'll bet we don't see snow til February..

No matter, that would still be a good thing! I'm hoping for less than 40" of snow here this winter but that's highly unlikely. but really I'm just hoping for a warmer winter than last year.

Lots of rain last night but today was not too bad. Sun came out for awhile then tonight a thunder and lightning rain storm again. Temps are still kinda mild.
