Raspberry Raider

Its a good year for raspberries in the McLean yard.  The raspberry patch is crazy full of juicy red berries.  We can have berries everyday AND we have already made jam for the upcoming winter.  This bounty has not gone unnoticed by one hound member of the family…Sargon. 

Sargon has discovered that he likes raspberries.  Instead of waiting for one of us to feed him the odd berry, he has decided to pick them for himself.  So we often see parts of Sargon sticking out of the patch, a headP1040390

or a tail.

Sometimes you have to look closely to see the hound.P1040379

Trust me though, he’s there!  And if you continue to watch you will see the master at work, delicately plucking berries from the branches.P1040382P1040395

Ahhh, summer is great!  Help yourself to a nice snack!  Luckily for the humans in the family, Sargon can only reach the bottom branches, and there are plenty of nice plump berries up high!!
