No Salsa And Thunder

Most know that I rescued Roscoe, a golden retriever that is high energy, from the old neighborhood three years ago. He learned to jump the fence so he is on a lead and I had to get him another dog house for the front, well I could not get the heavy old one to budge so I used an old card playing table and a huge trap with duct tape for a quick fix because while I was working in the veggie garden a huge black cloud came over.
With Tony telling me what I already knew how to do I got him a temporary shelter made.
I brought him back around to the front and he seen it and went right up inside, since he hates thunder.
Today I collect a basket filled with tomatoes of all sizes and many sweet bell peppers.
Since the heavy rained stopped me from working outside I came inside and I intended on making nacho chips with salsa and cheese, hamburger for Tony.
Well, I did not have any salsa! I chopped an onion and one of the bell peppers I just picked, got out the diced garlic and a jar of last years home canned tomatoes, tossed in a couple more ingredients and let it cook a couple minutes, TA DA! I have salsa.
Then I mashed an avocado and made guacamole.
Since the rain was beating down hard on the dish there was no t.v. and we had an early dinner while I watched a new lake appear in the field.
Happy me and happy dog..
How is your day going?

Does Tony have to stay outside or is he allowed in the house? Goldens are such good dogs, so loving. I wish I wasn't allergic to them. I'm allergic to most dogs but I love them all! All my dogs have been inside dogs. Thunder is scary for some dogs, I wonder why since it is a natural occurrence.

LMAO! Tony is a man, Roscoe is the dog.
I am allergic to all animals, plus I am not fond of cleaning up dog hair so they all live outside but I make sure they are dry and warm and have shade and all that.

@andriaperry Well, they are naturally outside animals and I'm sure he's happier with you than where you rescued him from. Sorry, I'm just getting to know you so I did not know Roscoe's name. I give you permission to have a good laugh with Tony at my expense!!

It was, but most of the time we do since we cook nearly all the meals here from scratch. But I do cheat sometimes and buy stuff already bottled like Ragu sauce

I did a lot of walking and exercise today and so I was pretty happy with that.

It is good that you were able to make a temporary place for Roscoe!
Hope your garden does not suffer from the rain.
