I have been so busy getting the yard, and our deck ready for winter that I have not been able to write anything on this blog in a while.  While I was working on our deck, getting rid of my hanging plants and my tomato plant, I had been noticing that I did not have any tomatoes on the lower part of the plant. I turned away from the tomato plant and was working on something else, when I heard Abby doing something, as I turned around, Abby was trying to eat some of the tomatoes off the plant, and because she is so tall, she was able to reach ones higher up on the plant, as well as the ones on the bottom.

Between our summer or lack of, and Abby eating my tomatoes its no wonder I did not have very many to eat.  Not sure what I will do next year with the tomato plant, now that I know she eats them.  

Not much happening on the Abby front, she has not been in any serious trouble in a while. We went on our annual October ride last weekend to get apples; it’s about a 5-hour ride round trip, and of course we took the dogs with us.  It was a beautiful weekend, and the dogs loved the ride.  Abby loves to stick her head out the window, her long black ears flap in the wind, smelling all the apple trees, pear trees, just enjoying life. Maggie on the other hand, just lays down in the back seat, and pretty much just sleeps until we come to a stop, then she sticks her head out the window. 

Its amazing to me how many people will come up to us and ask if Abby is a standard poodle, I guess you just don’t see them around that much.
