This week I gave you snakes and snails, so I feel I owe you some puppy dogs (even if you can’t see their tails!)
Left to right are Ruairidh (Shiloh Shepherd, 11 years), Cuan (Golden Retriever, 4 years), and Dileas (Shiloh Shepherd, 9 months). The Boys of PEI Untamed 😎.

What a difference six months makes! Here’s Dileas, Cuan, and Ruairidh last October and now. (The Boys are looking a little bedraggled in the current photo because they were swimming). Dileas’ up-and-down ears are likely going to stay down at this point, but I think he’s pretty handsome anyway! 💕

Join me in Morell, PEI, on Saturday, April 26 for a FREE presentation about PEI’s edible, medicinal, and toxic plants (and some mushrooms, too!).
This hour-long illustrated talk will feature some of the easy-to-find and use plants and mushrooms you might have right in your own backyard.

To you it may be St. Patrick's Day, but to us it's Cuan's 4th Birthday! 🎉🐾🎉
Here's the birthday boy when he was just three months old (and moments before he bit my nose!) and the more stately gentleman of four years.💕
