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?
