September 14, 2012 A Bad Dog, Kudzu and Confederate Jasmine

Boofa twisted out of his collar and attacked a six month old yellow lab, resulting in a trip to the vet.
I walked alone today and found the owner and told her I would pay the bill.

My vet gave me the name of a Department of Defense Patrol Dog Handler graduate.  Boofa may have to go to Boot Camp.

Kudzu is blooming, hard to notice the beautiful puple blossoms. Confederate Jasmine blooms on fences. Kudzu was brought to the south from Japan to hold back erosion and it quickly took over.
Like clouds, children see animals and shapes in its luxuriant folliage which covers the ground, bushes, trees, everything in its path.  Nancy Basket, a craftsman of Native American heritage has made baskets, paper, various food products, nearly anything you can imagine out of kudzu.  There are Kudzu festivals where you can buy kudzu jellies and wear kudzu hats.

It is cool now. Fall is coming next week.
