[Dailydrool] the clueless momPerson and her garden

[Dale Rutz]

Hi all, it's Snoopy here,

Now, don't get me wrong we love our momPerson.  She is snuggly and she walks us 
every day and she plays with us and she feeds us ontime and she doesn't get mad 
at us (usually).  But, she's still clueless.

She doesn't understand about bassets and berries.  First she feeds LuLu a 
strawberry that a snail had a bite of.  After that it was GAME ON with the 
strawberry patch.  Open up the garden gate, and whoops .... no more 
strawberries.  LuLu and I are FAST and we don't care if they have a little bit 
of green left on them, they are still good.

Oh, and it gets better.  Last year she reported to the dadPerson that the back 
room got hot because the sun beats on that wall all day and the back room isn't 
remodeled so the wall is not insulated.  dadPerson was not interested in her 
observations.  So, our next door neighbor Jim gave her a lovely wrought iron 
trellis that he was no longer using and she placed it in front of the back wall 
and bought a rasberry (yes you heard me right) stump.  It grew and grew last 
year but it didn't yield .... I guess they don't the first year.  dadPerson told 
her, you'll never get any, Snoopy'll steal 'em.  She told him, no, he'll only 
get the ones at the bottom.  Oh for goodness sakes .... when I stand up on my 
back legs I am 4 foot tall and I LOVE rasberries.  This year it is yielding left 
right and center.  I get maybe 50 ripe berries every day.  The clueless 
momPerson gets maybe 10 or 15.  And she is lucky to get those because I clear 
the bottom 4 feet of the rasberry and LuLu can CLIMB trellis' (which I can't) 
and she climbs up into the thing and strips all she can find.  IF the clueless 
momPerson gets up early enough in the morning she can get 10 to 15 berries for 
her cereal.  LuLu and I get the rest.

She has sugar snap peas and blue lake beans and cucumbers and tomatos and 
lettuce and green onions all behing 18" fences in flower beds around the yard.  
Guess how that's going?  Just guess .... I must admit the little 18" fences do 
keep LuLu from trampling the beds.  But pilferage is not even slowed down.  We 
can all stick our snooter right over that fench without even standing on tip 
toes and take what we want.

She has a few things behind bars in the dog run (which she uses for a garden and 
lets the dogs have run of the yard).  So she will have to be satisfied with that 
and with what we leave her.

Gotta run .... I smell a rasberry that just turned red enough.

More later from Snoopy with LuLu (it's mine, it's high) and Cyrus (you two 
should cut the momPerson some slack) and the poor clueless momPerson too
