Georgia was very good when she met Christopher and Caleb (the new little boy cousins). They were a scared of her at first because she's so big, but they were fascinated with her. A thousand times I answered the question, "What that doggie doin'?" and "Why?" She sniffed and licked all over them, and Christopher had to smell her in return. :) Saturday morning, she laid in the floor while they crawled and sat all over her. It was amazing; she was so good with them. I wish I had my camera. There were pictures taken of that, put I don't have a copy of them yet.
She and Lucy swam in the creek for a little while Saturday afternoon, but she got stung or bitten on the foot so we had to cut it short. Her foot swelled up Saturday night, and she was hobbling around on three legs because she didn't want the hurt foot to touch anything. She also wouldn't let me touch it, until I held her down Sunday morning and checked between her toes to make sure there was nothing in there. A couple of doses of Benadryl and some baby aspirin, and she was good to go. The swelling went down and she was walking on it this morning. Hopefully she will feel well enough to play with her new frisbee tonight. The poor kid was following us around on three legs with her new frisbee in her mouth yesterday morning.
In people news....
We have a fresh crop of green tomatoes on the vines right now, and I'm really hoping these don't burst out of their skins like the last ones. Not that it really matters because they still taste good, they just look bad. I did a little research to determine if a tomato is really a fruit or a vegetable the other night (to solve a debate, not just because I'm a nerd-well, I am a nerd but that's beside the point), and as it turns out, they are fruit. Why, you ask? Because the seeds are inside. That means that other "vegetables" are actually fruits: cucumbers, squash, etc. Real vegetables do not have seeds inside: carrots, potatoes, etc. So, there you go.
