Big Yellow Thief

If you’ve been following me for awhile, then you know my cherry tomato plants have been producing poorly this year. I attributed it to where I planted them and to the weather; however, this evening I saw a dozen cherry tomatoes ripe and ready to be picked. I took a bowl outside and proceeded to harvest my beautiful red gems. I turned to pluck the last ripe one off the vine when I felt a bump against the bowl
and heard the snapping of some jaws. I looked into my bowl to see only four tomatoes remaining along with a bit of dog drool. Eddie was already across the yard enjoying his booty by the time I realized what had happened. He’s getting older and slower in many respects, but he’s still got it when it comes to snatching food.

Nice pic. Our regular tomatoes and the cherry ones were disappointing this year. We got some cherrys but most were split or had blossom rot.

Well it figures- the cop was chasing dragonflies at the greenhouse, so he knew he could get away with it this time! So typical!! (o: Cute story and fun shot.

Eddie knows a good thing when he sees it. This post made me smile ~ our sweet, departed, Toby was a pro at nabbing tomatoes off the vine.
