King and I had a great time putting in this garden for Thelonious. I rototilled, dug, mulched and planted; and king fetched the tennis ball and looked dubiously at the rototiller.

Scott made the bench in the background; the plants include creeping honeysuckle, seven different varieties of hosta, daylilies, rhododendron, and a sprinkling of grape hyacinths. I think it is pretty.

Here is a sample of some of my tulips. Nothing exotic, but I just love them. I have some of them planted in upended cement conduit.

King and I are going to obedience class tonight. He is very polite, but he does need some reinforcement on his "stay" which is nearly non-existant.

Ok, I am going to try to keep this from becoming a blog about a dog, but we have only had him two days. So give me a break. King was surrendered by his original family, because they are in the millitary, and they were stationed up here from Georgia, and right after they got here, the husband got deployed. The wife had 3 kids to look after, and King was not getting the attention he deserved. So they surrendered him to rescue. Whoever they were, they were very good to King; he's a polite and loving dog, who obviously has never had a hand raised to him.

Scott and I have finally gotten a dog. Officially, we are fostering him; but I am sure we are going to adopt him. His name is King and he is a white German Shepherd. He is so calm around the cats, he is interested in them but not in 'that' way. I was worried the cats would turn into puffed up hissing balls of teeth and claws, but they just puff up a bit, and eventually just walk away.

He is very big, around 90 lbs, and he needs to gain about 5-7 more pounds. He is a bit thin because he has been at a kennel for the last 6 months where he was in doggy daycare every day. So he ran around all day every day with a bunch of other dogs. We are hoping that with a little less exercise we can put some weight on him.

I just love him. He knows all his obedience commands, we just have to catch up to what he knows, and stay consistent, so he won's backslide.

He's a champ.
