The fig trees are loaded with figs!

Rumpy Dog
All About Me!
Hi! My name is Rumpy, and I am an Alaskan Malamute. I used to live in Middle Tennessee, but now my family and I reside in southeast Alabama. I have this cool blog that I started in 2011. Here at rumpydog.com we talk about all things animal, with a focus on animal welfare and responsible animal companion guardianship. But we also like to throw in a heaping helping of cute! cute! cute! I mean, how could you look at me and not melt, right?
My story? Well, I was found on the side of a busy street. Jenny thought she would help me find my home, but nobody claimed me. So now I live with her. She's a pretty good ole' gal, but she is mighty stingy with the dog cookies. *sigh*
There are also some cats- they each have their own story. June Buggie is their chief spokesperson. He is 16 years old, crotchety, and not afraid to say what's on his mind.

Love and licks,

Posted by rumpydog | June 3, 2014, 6:09 AMAh, lovely details form your garden, Rumpy! Does that white flower smell nice? If so it is probably a Gardenia. It looks like one and their scent is intoxicating - I love it! :-)

Posted by rumpydog | June 3, 2014, 8:49 AMWhat beautiful pictures Rumpy! My mommy says she has a black thumb and kills everything. Not sure what that says about me….ALL my thumbs are black!
Posted by Kimberley@Black Dog Runs Disney | June 3, 2014, 7:05 AMIf your figs are out and have still that size, that means we will get no fruits this year, right? Our tree has giant leaves …and that’s all :o)
Posted by easyweimaraner | June 3, 2014, 7:27 AMI don’t know. We live in a warm climate.
Posted by rumpydog | June 3, 2014, 8:10 AMThanks for sharing summer with us. I’m still waiting for strawberries to come in, much less tomatoes and squash.
Posted by somethingwagging | June 3, 2014, 8:13 AMmmmmmm…… strawberries!
Posted by rumpydog | June 3, 2014, 8:51 AMLove your flowers in your garden… and looks like you got the answer to the name of that beautiful white flower.. Lovely xox Sue
Posted by Sue Dreamwalker | June 3, 2014, 8:21 AMI know! It’s been so lovely to find so many nice surprises in this rental home.
Posted by rumpydog | June 3, 2014, 8:50 AMI’m so jealous of your gorgeous Gardenia. The scent must be heavenly! Yours is a very lovely garden.
Posted by tailsaroundtheranch | June 3, 2014, 8:56 AMIt is indeed!!!!
Posted by rumpydog | June 3, 2014, 9:26 AMVery impressed with your garden. Very pretty flowers. I like lantana, never seen that color before. I like it. I have a few little tomatoes and a squash plant, but now blooms on the squash yet. Have planted lots of tomatoes and a cucumber plant. Sweet and hot pepper. Pepper Jelly. How are the cats? Rumpy looks happy and healthy, course he always does. Mom
Posted by JENNIFER THREET | June 3, 2014, 9:44 AMI didn’t plant the lantana. It was here when I moved in and came back this year. Bubba is the same. Rumpy is doing great.
Posted by rumpydog | June 3, 2014, 11:05 AMWow! Your garden is so gorgeous! I’m so impressed to see the fig tree because I’ve never seen it before! The color of the fig is different from what I know…it’s green! Lantana flower is so lovely! :)
Posted by eripanwkevin | June 3, 2014, 9:46 AMAs they ripen they will turn red.
Posted by rumpydog | June 3, 2014, 11:05 AMYour white flower is a Gardenia!!! Lovely!!

Posted by Dakota/Caren/Cody | June 3, 2014, 1:49 PMThe white flower is a gardenia….I am envious. We had several bushes in our yard when I was a child, several so old, they had grown up to the second floor windows. Nice looking garden and you have figs!!!! :-)
Posted by kanzensakura | June 3, 2014, 3:10 PMBeautiful garden, you must have an awesome perfume in the air with all those gorgeous flowers!
