I’m sorry to hear about your niece. The neighbor and I are making a plan to make sure the kids will be protected in the future.

Yep, I totally agree. I probably underestimated the situation too – so it can’t be all the dogs fault.

Oh man, Rachel. So sorry to hear about all of your broken bones, I hope all is well now. Yes, having an injured body part (a limb especially) gives you a whole new perspective. It’s very hard to ask for help, but I’m doing more and more on my own every day. Thanks for the support and be careful with those shears!

It’ll probably seem like forever while you’re recovering, but it’ll be over before you know it! I’m sure you’ll find creative ways to adapt to your injuries so that you can still garden (though I sliced my finger open with garden shears and thought I needed stitches last week–be careful with those.)

Thanks for clearing that up. Hope you get better soon!

All I can say is YES an HA!

Hey Lilian, I posted the short story but the long story goes like this. My neighbor is out of the country on business, the dog sitter has a bad habit of going to work and leaving the back door open so the dogs can come and go as they please. There are 2 dogs, the older gentle dog was whimpering for over an hour, I was working in the backyard and was frankly over the dog barking. While the bigger dog was sunning himself i put my hand over the fence to talk and pet the old gentle one. I petted him and he settled him down, he is super loving and friendly. The other big dog slowly got up during this time and stood calmly behind the old dog. There were no warning signs of aggression, before I knew it my hand was in the big dogs mouth. I’m guessing he was nervous due to his owner and dog sitter being gone. My neighbor knows of the incident and I’m sure we’ll come up with a plan that we both feel comfortable with after he gets back. As far as neighbors go, he is one of the best ones.

Me too! Dogs be crazy!! Thank you!

On day 2 it got infected so I got a hugely painful shot in my butt and have been downing horse pills twice a day. I think the infection is clearing up today. Thanks!

Oh yeah, skirts, I forgot that was a thing. Ive currently been rocking stretchy pants and pj bottoms :)

My mom and dad and husband have all been great. Yes it is killing me. There will def be some left-handed-gardening in my future.

THANKS CALLIE! I REALLY HOPE ITS QUICK TOO.

Thats a good idea! They’ve already been really helpful. My older guy has been helping his bro get dressed in the mornings, and my little guy watered the gardens for me yesterday. I’m sure there will be lots of little ways they can help out.

Yeah, right!? It’ll be here Monday!
