Wednesday has been my day for ranting about aberrations of horticulture. I certainly have plenty to rant about. However, there is plenty of other ranting going on nowadays without my help. Therefore, for this Wednesday only, I will forego the ranting. Furthermore, I will forego the horticulture too. I can not remember ever doing that before. This could be something totally new for me.
After Rhody photo bombed one of my pictures that was featured on Saturday, others suggested that I feature more pictures of Rhody. Everyone loves Rhody.
Most of these pictures are devoid of vegetation. The minimal vegetation that is visible in the other pictures is mostly unrecognizable in the background. There are a few redwoods, a few firs, some English ivy and all that riparian mess around Zayante Creek behind the abandoned ball field. They are unimportant in this post.
This post is just pictures of Rhody, complete with captions that all begin with ‘Rhody’.
Rhody really has been a good sport. He has been coming to work without his crew for more than a week. Only a few of them stop by in the morning. One or two rarely come by through the day. We avoid each other.
Rhody misses them very much. He frolics on their sofa where he typically does ‘laps’ during morning staff meetings, and sometimes settles into the rocker chair that he typically avoids when no one else in it. He neglects his favorite thrasher toys, but instead drags around a dirty glove that belonged to someone of his crew. He takes it to bed, but I somehow wake up with it.
We will work in the still unvegetated vegetable garden in the morning. It is right outside, so he will be here if anyone of his crew happens to stop by.
Photo number 2 of Rhody is so wonderful – Rhody looks like a very real cartoon, must have a big personality.

He is a terrier, so yeah, he has the personality to go with it. I was not done writing that when it was scheduled to post at midnight. It was edited a bit since you read it. The pictures are the same.

You might have been the second person to see these pictures, and the first did not see Rhody in the second picture.

Wow! You are up late, and in the same time zone. Anyway, I was not done writing that, but scheduled it for midnight. I edited it a bit. I feel weird about not writing about a horticultural topic.

Always good to see photos of Rhody. Are there any varmints out there that Rhody likes to chase? It’s in his nature you know!

I do not like him to chase varmints because most are bigger than he is, and dangerous. Skunks are playful, but they have another associated problem. There are no rats yet. Because I am not concerned with their damage here, the gophers do not live here.

I have a cat that bosses me.

You tolerate that?! I suppose a kitty does not care if you tolerate it or not. They just do it anyway . . . because they know they can.

Thanks for the smiles, cos every time I see his dear little face, he makes me smile. We all need smiles right now. I love how you said above that you just work for him. It’s good for a dog to have an attitude! He seems to have a wonderful personality.

I don’t work ‘just’ for him. There other dogs in the neighborhood, and a kitty who hates me. He takes his work very seriously too. That is why he misses his crew so much.

Yes; because I work for Rhody and other dogs, instead of working for them alone.

A cat hierarchy thing, ok. They haven’t forgotten that they were worshipped as gods back in history.

They used their mind control techniques to compel my ancestors to name our town after them. I really think it should be renamed Los Perritos.

Sorry, but you might have to convert the blog from gardens to dogs, or at least to Rhody.

Reblogged this on Tony Tomeo and commented:
This recycled article is a major deviation from my Horridculture rants on Wednesday, but I know that no one will mind.
