Blueberries


July 10.  Today is Pick Blueberries Day.    Wild blueberries are the largest fruit crop in Nova Scotia – and Oxford, Nova Scotia is the wild blueberry capital of Canada.  There’s some blueberry trivia for you – if you are ever on the game show Jeopardy. I’m not quite sure blueberries are ready to pick just yet – but it won’t be long.  We dogs LOVE blueberries.  And bananas.  And apples…and…lots of different vegetables too.



So although I didn’t officially go blueberry picking at a farm– I knew this “holiday” was coming up, so yesterday I picked some blueberries.  Indoors.  From my human’s friend’s bowl of oatmeal.  You would think he would have learned by now that I can’t be left alone for even ONE second with food on the table.  But I guess he wasn’t yet awake – and when he left his breakfast bowl – which contained some yummy blueberries AND some bananas too - for just a second- I had just enough time to bury my face in the bowl before he shouted “Stop.”  What can I say?  I love fruit.  It’s a healthy way to start the day.  I thought he was finished.



Suuuuuuuuuuuure I did.  When is the next Forgiveness Day?
