My sister makes Salsa and my father-in-law LOVES tomatoes. So this year I planted tomatoes. I found out that the Rutgers variety has won taste contests, so I planted some Rutgers for eating, and then I planted some Roma tomatoes for salsa. The tomatoes were slow to ripen this year. Finally I noticed a Rutgers getting red. I thought I would wait until it was good and ripe and then let my father-in-law test it out. But just when it was ready to pick, it disappeared. Then it happened again and again. I couldn’t figure out what was happening until the other night I caught our German Shorthair Pointer out in the backyard eating a nice red tomato. Somewhere along the line Millie has acquired a taste for ripe tomatoes. She doesn’t bother the green one, only the RED one. I have YET to get to enjoy one of the tomatoes I have planted, watered, weeded and waited for. This DOG is driving me CRAZY!!!

Sounds like a smart dog! Interesting that he can tell the ripe ones from the unripe ones. I thought dogs were color blind. Must be by smell!
Please tell my friend Debbie I said hello! I was hoping to see pictures of all of you! Eric is 21 tomorrow and is a Petty Officer in the Navy - he is being sent to Iraq as a combat soldier in Jan. Sigh - I thought Navy meant ships and water - who knew?
