This might be hard to believe but Summer is a very accomplished gardening helper.
We received some surprise dahlia tubers. Probably because I mentioned that my favorite dahlia named Polka didn't survive the winter layover.
I was going to move on but a couple of days ago a box arrived with not only two Polka tubers but four other fancy schmancy varieties.
Well this morning Summer says we'd better get them in the dirt before the rain.
So I loaded up a wagon of soil and put the box of tubers where Summer could reach.
We got to work.
She dumped out the box and brought the tubers one at a time. I ended up short two pots and asked her to find some so she did. Twice.
We got er done and Summer got a good girl treat.
Glad she's on our team.

How did Summer come to join your family?

My husband saw her on Craig's list right after he got home from a month in the hospital. She was the runt of a litter of eight and the only one that hadn't sold. She had food related anxiety and wouldn't eat consistently.
He really wanted to give her a home so I called the breeders. Her parents were well regarded hunting dogs. The owners didn't know what they were going to do because she was very small, wouldn't eat and no one wanted to train her as a hunting dog.
I made a generous offer to buy her and drove hundreds of miles to bring her home.
She and my husband immediately bonded. It has been three and a half years now. She is our first dog.
She isn't small anymore and would probably have excelled as a hunting retriever. She is amazingly smart, athletic and has a soft mouth.
We got very lucky that no one else wanted her.
