Midnight is getting bigger!

This weeks theme is Skinny

When we first got our puppy, Midnight, in November she was exactly three months old and she was a skinny little thing. She doesn’t look that skinny in the above photo, but believe me she was very sick and she was much too thin.

She’s grown quite a bit in the 7 weeks that we’ve had her. I think she’s going to be on the small side for a Lab as she only weighs 20 pounds right now, but she’s apparently healthy again and growing and gaining weight as each day goes by.

Just to show you how much she’s grown. I placed her doggy bed on her favorite chair last night. We’d taken her doggy bed away a month ago or so when she started having diarrhea while in her crate and well … she also chewed a hole in her bed. Darn those labs and their need to chew! So last night was the first time she’d used her doggy bed in quite a while.

As you can see she’s grown a lot. She pretty much takes up the whole doggy bed when she lies in it now. Good thing I just bought her a new one eh? She won’t get to use the new one for a couple of months though. I’d like to wait until she’s finished teething or at least just about done finished teething as I’m hoping her chewing will have slowed down or at the very least all the new adult teeth she’ll have won’t be so sharp and damaging!

Oh and she’s definitely not skinny anymore. I think she’s just right for her size.

A pretty little rose

January 9, 2008 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

This is a beautiful English Rose called Sharifa Asma. It has a lovely perfume like scent, but unlike some of my other roses the scent doesn’t waft in the air for any great distance. This is a rose that you must get up close to in order to appreciate it’s beauty and lovely scent.

I just love my roses. I grow a number of English roses, Antique roses, Hybrid teas and Floribundas. I wonder what will happen when spring and summer comes along and my puppy gets to spend more time in the backyard garden? I hope my roses survive!

The romantic rose

This lovely rose is Yves Piaget a Romantica Rose. When this rose first blooms it has the classic hybrid tea look, but as the rose ages it petals open up as above. Doesn’t it have a floppy free spirited kind of look?

This rose blooms several times throughout the growing season, but it doesn’t bloom as much as I’d like. I’d love it to be full of flowers most of the time as they have a lovely scent.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

Did you know that leashes are tasty?

This weeks theme is delicious

Labrador Retriever Puppy Midnight

I think our Lab puppy, Midnight, finds her leather leash to be absolutely delicious. She’s always trying to chew on it when we first put it on her. In the above photo I’d put the leash on before I got my winter coat and other gear on so she had time to settle down for a good chew.

Here’s an areal view:

Labrador Retriever Puppy Midnight

She already chewed through, or well just about chewed through, her vinyl leash just before Christmas. I wonder how long this one will last?

As you can see she’s grown a bit and I think she’s gained some weight. She’s doing a lot better although I think she’s still fighting something. She goes for her third set of shots on Monday.

Double Delight just Delightful

I had to replace a few of my roses last year as I lost some due to the mild winter that we had … This winter has lots of snow cover so far so I’m hoping that all my roses and other plants make it this time round.

This rose, Double Delight, is one of the replacement roses that I purchased. I bought it to replace Fragrant cloud. Isn’t it a lovely rose? I love the multiple shades of pink and white within each flower.

Double Delight is a very popular hybrid rose. I can now see why! It has a light scent and the blooms seem to last for days. I think I’m going to enjoy this rose.
