Dandelion: Salad or Weed?

While I was waiting for Olivia to have her puppies yesterday (she didn't!), I did some weeding in the back garden, fenced in to keep the dogs out. It took me a few minutes to notice that as fast as I was pitching those weeds from the garden into the yard to bag later, the dogs who were out were having all kinds of fun with them.


Rustle's idea of fun was to steal as many weeds (dandelions preferred) right out of the other dogs' mouths. Although he's cute, sometimes Rustle's not very bright. Here he is lining up his next "victim".



He checks out Keva, but wisely passes her by.



Maida doesn't look like she's going to share, either.


Kelly, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be putting up much of a fight.



"Mmmmmmm ... now this is one yummy dandelion, far too big for Kelly all by herself."



"Like taking candy from a baby ... "




"I'm outta here!"
