THE ADVENTURES OF TEXTFROMDOG
Bringing you the online adventures of textfromdog by October Jones. You can find him on Facebook. He has discovered that his dog, "Dog", a bulldog, can text him. Each day we will share his texts with you. October's remarks are in green on the right side of the screen, Dog's are on the left.


TWEET TREATS
bringing you the quirky, funniest and most interesting tweets from Twitter that we came across.  
My son asked me why I haven't been paying attention to him. It really impacted me. I thought to myself, "Wow, when did I have a kid?"      @robfee

DID YOU KNOW...?
All clams are born male and can change to become female later in life. However, once they do, they cannot change back.

GARDEN UPDATE
 Hot, hot, hot and we aren't even in August yet. Scary thought. 


Roses are recovering from the black spot treatment and seem to be thriving. Hubby caught an alligator lizard we named Greenlee and she is the latest garden pet.

I loved the picture of the dolphins and of course, the cat and dog picture has me going aw-aw-aw. So cute! Our two dogs here love to play with the cats, but my old cat is not having any of that! She hisses at the dogs, and Mason the big dog has felt the 'long paw of the law' and so has little Morgan. the puppy. She sits and shrieks at the cat, and she balefully ignores him, unless he edges too close to the chair on which she sits and she half-draws back and up, ears back and hisses a but! Puppy still shrieks at her but doesn't challenge her.
