sertainly doesn't sound like one..
Are you sure it's a dog??
And a real cutie.. Is it a Doodle??
And a real cutie.. Is it a Doodle??
Awsome, i thought i knew dogs, but never heard of that breed.. Cockapoo?? Eating fruit, vegtables, plants and snails, does she talk too, sound like a mixed parrot breed..
Realy cute lovely looking dog, didn't look it up, but the name? Is it a spaniel mix??
No but she hops on her back legs like a kangaroo when excited and walks upright occasionally. All in all she's a bit mental but in a good way. As mentioned above its a cross between a cocker spaniel and poodle, so they don't shed, but it was the nature not the none shedding that drew us to her. We then found there are dozens around us, all quite quite mad
But she has taken up enough time on your beautiful thread
So despity the shitty summer, still learned some new things, to improve next year.. Nymphoides peltata is nice.
It may survive outside, it is probably a form of M. aquaticum.
The helophyte swamp bucket and filter basket behind it grew into a nice jungle by now, where Cyperus is realy dominating the scenery. Very nice plant actualy and very willing to cary seeds, collected quite a few by now. Does anybode recognize this? Also seeing the amount of eggs it aint a small animal like a salamander or something. It aint frog nor toad as far as i can find out i guess..
and i was hoping for something beautiful and interesting. And probably end up with a ton of rather hidious little plant eating monsters. Remarkable if it is snail or slug that they cary such a large amount of rather large eggs.. If it was from one and the same snail. Never found some like this before.. Probably snail, but not the one i was hunting for..
This morning i was hunting for snails in my wine barrel..
From what amfibious animal would these be? Doesn't look like frog or toad, tho i found some toads in the garden lately. And this time of year also sems a bit odd to me. But they are there.. Realy wonder what will come out of it.. I'll keep track of it to see how it developes if it doesn't get eaten by something along the way. Maybe i should take a few inside and put in a jar?
Edit:
I think i found the answer.. Lately found a very huge and ugly slimey Leopard slug crawling around my garden. I suspect thats the culprit.. Also have many helix pomatia snails around.. Darn
But they actualy also do good things, they eat dog poop.. 
Ive seen it, they seem to love it. Not a fan of chemical warfare anyway. I even do not spray for weeds etc, rather wait and see what it is what grows before i pull it out. I'm still hoping to find a Cymbalaria muralis for once.. In the garden i actualy see more edible snails than slugs, only noticed a very fat Leopard slug at the pond lately, never saw such a big one. It kinda scared me the first time i saw it, but then i thought the uggly bugger had kinda beautiful markings... Still left it alone all tho i suspect it grew so big from my lobelia and probably dumped the eggs as well. If you can't fight it enjoy it i always say.. Next time i plant my lobelia as i did the first time, on an island surrounded with water. There snails can't get to it. Was my own ignorance, not knowing and planting it where it is vulnerable.
They are one big happy family now munching around all day long in the bathtub.. So the sounds you might notice is not me sucking a lolipop, it's them. .. A few of already developed some nice color paterns too while the others still are simply, black if seen from above throught the surface. The biggest of the adults all definitevely is a female, so probably also a mama this year. And of the white ones also is a female, probablt the mother of the lighter colored babies. what more can i want.
