Gertrude in the Garden

Zooming around gardens hoping for a treat.
Good Morning #dogsofbluesky Gertrude selected a #throwbackthursday from a community garden we walked through awhile back. Each bed was unique so it was quite interesting to explore. It's starting to get chilly here so it's nice to remember a warmer day!

Urban canine class was at a farm supply store on Sunday. Gertrude investigated the pumpkins & asked if we can grow some in our garden. She did great w/her exercises (politeness, stays, shopping scenarios), but was so excited it was hard to walk on a loose leash. #dogsofbluesky #dogs in class.

Fall has arrived & Gertrude has started harvesting blooms for next years flower garden 🌱 This will be a multi-day project. We are going to collect as much as possible so we can experiment w/winter sowing this year. We will add to this 🧵as we go! #dogsofbluesky #gardening #dogs

Good morning #dogsofbluesky ! Gertrude wants me to apologize for being absent this past week. We've been a bit overwhelmed. Pic is a #throwbackthursday to Sunday at her ongoing obedience class. We had appetizers at a patio restaurant. Shockingly all 7 dogs were super chill even w/ food to tempt them

Gertrude had a sleepover last night with her cousin Daisy. She sent me this proof of life photo after zooming around their backyard garden for hours. Look at that yawn! #dogsofbluesky #dogs

Gertrude took me to a local demonstration garden this weekend. She decided to get right in there & really check everything out. #dogsofbluesky #dogs 🌱 most of the plants were still going strong despite it being October in zone 5b.

After a hectic weekend we had class in a fancy office building. In-between practicing stairs, elevators, loose leash walking amongst distractions & long stays Gertrude located this indoor garden! What's up w/ the fake plants? Not sure she approved. #dogsofbluesky #dogs going to school 🐾

Good Morning! We refreshed our flowers the other day giving Gertrude a chance to mug for the camera. The orange celosia in the back was hard to cut. The pollinators love it so much, but w/ only a few weeks left we decided it was time. #dogsofbluesky #dogs #flowers

Despite continued summer temps Fall is here & our chaotic garden is starting to show the signs. Gertie & I are calling this portrait "Gertrude under a spent bloom". #dogsofbluesky #dogs

Gertrude's class today was at Barnes&Noble. What a Challenge! The elevator was very scary & balcony extremely suspicious. She is excellent when interacting w/people & dogs, but loud noises/new surroundings are hard. #dogsofbluesky She might need one of these floral journals to work out her feelings.

Gertrude is skeptical after I told her our plans for the day. She doesn't believe that we will get all the pruning and cleaning out done. #dogsofbluesky She maybe right I have a hard time tearing things out of the garden & letting them go. 🌱 #dogs

Gertrude showing off the bouquet we made this morning. We over planted pink & fuchsia flowers this year. We 💕them, but wish for more color variety in the garden next year. #gardening #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Greetings from Gertrude! She was exploring & found this volunteer marigold hanging out with a weed & a volunteer pac choy plant in the yard across from our main garden. #dogsofbluesky

Gertrude found a fall flower display at the garden center after class yesterday. Class was at a big box hardware store. We practiced loose leash walking, 3 min stays, automatic doors, good greetings, and soo much more. #dogsofbluesky #dogs

Gertrude didn't have time to take a new photo this morning (she's so busy!) but here is a #tongueouttuesday from our photoshoot over the weekend. These veggies from the #vegetablegarden were delicious & Gertie approved. #dogsofbluesky #dogs

Gertrude is out of the garden this afternoon & in the dog "gym" for orientation. The next 7 Sundays we have an advanced CGC & urban canine workshop to work on skills in public places. Building confidence so we can visit more gardens & greenhouses! #dogsofbluesky #dogs in school

Gertrude's been busy today. Spa day (bath & haircut w/fresh poodle feet), some time at the office, riding in grandma's car (which is apparently very weird), & harvesting from the garden for pasta salad tonight. What a busy pup! #dogsofbluesky #vegetablegardening #dogs #gardening 🌱

Gertrude is waiting for her human grandma to pick her up this morning as the car had to be towed. Not the best start to the weekend, but hopefully she will be able to get back in the garden soon. #dogsofbluesky

Gertrude picked some Zinnias from the garden yesterday to brighten up the office & lighten the mood. #dogsofbluesky #dogs #flowers These late season blooms are some of the best so far! 🌱

Gertrude has been busy & the garden is out of control. She has decided to chill out & just let it do its thing. #dogsofbluesky 🌱 #gardensky #dogs teaching us to live in the moment.

Gertrude was a bit suspicious when she was placed in the wheelbarrow. I've promised her I won't go too crazy trying to take garden related photos & she's already forgiven me. Lucky she's so easy going! #dogsofbluesky #dogs #mondays

Success! Gertrude & I accomplished our goal yesterday. It's sad to cut back the flowers but hopefully it will give them a boost for the rest of the season. 🌱 #gardening #dogsofbluesky #dogs
