Doggie Garlic Breath LOL

Shown: My little Oasis with an old glider placed halfway between two dogs and supported with the railings to my unassembled deck :) Front left - Pickwick, Back left - Bubbles, the old girl, Front right - Bianca the attack cat, Back right under the umbrella you can barely see a set of brown legs with white boots, that is Bo the big dog.

I have used garlic powder as one of my defenses against fleas and ticks for eons. My boys get it heavily on their food in the spring and summer. I will cut back some in the winter but I make gravies and spaghetti superloaded just for them during the critter crawling months.

I moved into my mh almost 2 years ago but I still don't have over 1/2 of the boxes unpacked or put away. Last week I uncovered a box that should have been pulled out last spring. There was a bag of garlic bulbs stuffed in it. I was extremely sick last year and didn't get anything done in the garden. In fact I didn't even make it into the yard to cut the grass but one time last summer and that job took 2 weeks.

Anyway, I pretty much figured the garlic bulbs were no good but I toted them outside and tossed them onto the glider. Bo, the big dog, kept trying to get at them then he tried to grab it out of my hand. It took a few minutes before it finally dawned on me, he thought it was something to eat. He could smell garlic and associated it with dinner LOL.

On another note, since the boys were trying to eat the garlic bulbs I have decided to add more garlic powder to their food. I can't believe it but they are eating more lately.
