CSA Week 15 & a Dog up for Adoption




We got a LOT of Tomatoes (big & small) this week...tis the season :) We also got a Butternut Squash, some more wacky Beans, various Hot Peppers, a big Shallot, garlic, Corn, Basil, & Flowers.







Zep escaped on Saturday for the 5th time. Some Jehovah's Witnesses opened the door to hand me a booklet (that I didn't want) and WHAMMO...Zep took off in a cloud of dust. I ran out after him in my pink shortie pajamas and barefeet. LUCKILY there was a guy on Windward Ave standing on the sidewalk eating an Egg McMuffin and Zep went right to him. The guy grabbed his collar and I was able to catch up to drag him home.

Future options:

- Always keep an Egg McMuffin on hand to lure him back
- Dig a moat around the house filled with Zep eating alligators
- Invisible Fence & Shock Collar system
- Let Zep run away and let someone else catch him and return him to us
- Give dog away to gypsies or Dan

Any other suggestions? Or if you would like to adopt a dog...lemme know.

we have a shock collar for our dog but not the invisible fence. the collar is awesome because it has two options: one is a loud buzzing sound to warn the dog and the other is the shock button. we used the shock button two or three times (set very low) before she quickly realized that if she heard the buzz, she better straighten up.
now all we have to do is put the collar on her and she is instantly well behaved :)
