Wednesday Dog of the Week....Dixie Lee

This is Dixie Lee, a mixed breed Papillion...she is about 4 years old and needs someone who will be patient with her as she is distrustful of strangers but very loyal to her family....probably not for a family with children, but for a single person who needs a loyal companion, she would be a faithful friend...she is small, about 8 lbs or less.....I met her on Saturday when I was at the rescue...she barked when I first entered the patio...but showed no real aggression....stood off when the other puppies piled on me and I could see she was curious but wary....very pretty little dog...just like people...some of the rescue dogs have special needs....Dixie is one of those.
You can find Dixie and many other rescued dogs at the Sun City K-9 Dog Rescue




Yesterday I did some dead heading of the roses and picked some for the house...these are from our climbing rose bushes...I think they are gorgeous....the bushes are just loaded right now...I did feed them with some epsom salts earlier and I think it really helps them to bloom.....
I wanted to also share what our vegetable garden looks like.....thought you may like to see its progress...Cabbages, beets, and yellow crook neck squash



Corn


Tomatoes and peppers




We went to the town meeting last night...they had a contest for the new town seal..Alan had put in a entry...so was invited to come for the announcement of the winning entry....here is our new
Menifee town seal.....

No, its not his but nevertheless very colorful and does reflect Menifee's rural background..this entire valley was once all farm land and there are still wide open areas. We still have barns, tractors and sheep.....many houses are on large plots of land.
well, that's about all for today....if you want to see what kind of crafts I've been making, please check out my other blog...the link is on the left...or click here

  1. Awww... poor little Dixie- her eyes look so sad, like she has been mistreated. I hope she finds a good home.
    I love the picture of the roses- they're so pretty. And I LOVE the sheep on the header picture! Are they near you?
    The garden looks great, Dani!

  2. Dixie Lee is beautiful. You can tell she has had a hard time, and no wonder she is wary. She will make someone a lovely companion if given the chance, that is certain.

    Your garden looks lovely! I didn't know you could grow things out your way. We have saline water (same salinity as the ocean) so we cannot grow much, as our usable water is piped in from 200 miles away.

  5. Dixie would be a wonderful companion animal - she has a sweet face. Your garden looks terrific! Looking forward to mine growing more now that we've gotten some hot weather.
