  1. Got ours off of Amazon, that is the cheapest we could get them. Zoe would keep them on right after her back surgery but once she started feeling better she would not. We just lost her 3 weeks ago to stage 4 kidney disease, I had a couple left and one night really wanted her to sleep with us because I knew the end was coming, when I woke in AM she still had it on and I told my husband she is really sick if she left it on.
  2. We have a "double dapper" Dachshund. Our Zoe is black, brown and white, short haired. Her father was brown and mother was black both were short haired. She had a sister long haired, black & white and a brother short haired brown. Go figure????
  3. OMG..my son and d-I-law live 2 hrs away you would think we were on the other side of the country. I reminded him when he lived in DuBois it never bother him to jump in the car and drive to P-burgh for ballgame,concert or just to hang out and drive back in the same day.
  4. Our Holly Bushes look terrible this year, very little green (just around the bottom) and our 22 rose shrubs are even worst. The Rhodys are starting to bloom but the leaves are not as green a they have been in the past. Our rose shrubs have always been in bloom by the middle of June, because we use to laugh they were always the best when we were away at the June Pocono race. Our orange azalea was beautiful but the rain pretty much did it in today. I'm assuming the holly & roses are because of the winter we had??? In fact by husband pretty much wants to pull them all out, I'm trying to tell him to be patience.
  5. Can tell you they are slow growing but they love sunshine. My in-laws have them sprouting up all over their yard (and have for yrs). When we built our new house (9 yrs ago) we have transplanted from their yard, probably 10 along our property line and the ones that get full sun have grown more than the others. They have a lot of meaning since they were one of my mother-in-laws favorite and to know we have them from their yard means a lot.
  6. Our DASHCHUND is blind and still knows when the sun is shining through the front door and wants the door open no matter the temp outside.
  7. Definitely daylillies, I have quite a few all around my yard. Other years mine have bloomed in July & August. This year they are all about done, don't know why...guess the weather. I have different colors, some people don't like them but I do, just wish they lasted longer. In the fall I will cut them down for the winter.
  8. Does anyone have a recipe for a good punch for a bridal shower? Would like to have it pink in color since the wedding colors are pink & brown. Cannot use pineapple in the punch because of an allergy. Thank !
  9. I would contact a local landscaping company and see what advice they can give you..they may even be willing to remove the plants, store them, and replant them for you.
  10. Dad always said "knee high to a grasshopper" when talking about someone being little.
  11. The rabbits have drove hubby and I crazy the last two years. This year we have two so far and the only thing they are going after is a rose shrub but we have been able to keep them on the move. We tried everything we could but nothing seemed to work. I did try dial soap in a knee hi stocking, tied them toward the bottom of the tree and believe it or not that seemed to work better than anything but never was able to keep them completely away. They really did a job on all our landscaping the last two years. There has been a stray cat we have seen a couple times maybe it is keeping them away. Last spring we had some hawks flying around and they definitely took care of them. Our holly bushes (we have nine) look terrible this year. Don't know what happen but they look like they are dying off. Some have a few healthy leaves but not many. GOOD LUCK!
  12. No bamboo, actually we don't have any neighbors on that side of us yet. We have watched enough of HGTV to know what a pain bamboo can be.
  13. We're looking for something to put on our side embankment, to cover the erosion. There is shade and does not get a lot of water. We have a split rail fence there but wanted to plant something along the fence since there is erosion. Any ideas? Would hostas work?
  14. Heh Petee, I have Nun's caps, Forget me Nots and Lillies of the Valley in my flower garden, should I cut them back for the winter? I have already cut back my day lillies. The Nun's Caps have really spread this past summer.
  15. I know you can plant mums outside, but yesterday my son asked if they will come up again next year or they considered annuals. If you can leave them in the ground for next year, do you cut them back later in the fall like you do day lillies?
