Racing snails and puppy dogs tales.

I swear our little back garden has the fastest snails and slugs around. As soon as they are collected, twice or three times a day, (WITH GLOVES) they come back again. If there is anything such as a racing snake, the snails around here could beat it. 

We have frogs and newts in our little pond, but if they keep welching on the deal (they catch slugs and snails for their keep) they are out on their little webbed feet.

We know of others who wouldn't quack twice at the thought of snails and slugs.

It's growing time in the Soggibottom garden, slugs and snails beware. Another chance to go into competition with Caroline at Uniqart for the first to pick tomato's of 2014 off of their own plants. 
The tomato competition lasts longer than the actual growing season of tomato's in England. Comments such as "would you like to come and pick some of our tomato's" can go on all year between us, even in December.

I think I know who is ahead, but things can change as quick as English Summer weather.  

It was Freya's birthday a few days ago, our adorable little miss mutt is now three years old. 

We would have missed so many great, funny, laughing days if we had stuck to our "NEVER GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER DOG" comment three years ago. Can it be that long ?
Well, we know what we said, we also think everyone had bets on how long it would be before another four paws came into our lives.
Amie Soto Blossom was a hard act to follow. No one could replace her. 
Someone once asked me why I used Ames as a prop when doing a Soggibottom post. Amie was part of Soggibottom, she was our beloved dog and no prop. I think Ames would have loved her own blog. 
Freya isn't Amie's replacement, Freya has her own personality, just as it should be.
Although they do share one love that you can see over at Freya's blog
