Gooseberry thieves

Last year I had a thread about not getting any ripe gooseberries. I had hoped for some this year but apparently not.

My old male is not interested in gooseberries.

Thanks Bob. The only one allowed to have fermented fruit here is me :biggrin:

Thank you. They are actually very careful when they pick the berries.

 

Thanks Gary. I like that shot myself too.

Thanks David. Yes there are some thorns but very soft and the dogs are very careful when they are picking the berries. Never had an accident yet.

 

Thanks. I apreciate your comment

Thanks Dave. I think #2 just shows how gentle they are when they pick the berries. Those bushes are 20 years old and I have never been able to pick enough of the berries to do anything with them. The dogs like them before they get ripe.

 

Thanks. I seldom see the berries get ripe. It's the same every year. Can't image what they would look like if I had black- or blueberries in the garden.  

Yes, I really would. When I was a kid my Mom used to make a dessert with stewed gooseberries (lots of sugar). I'll have to make do with the memories though.

 

Rich, If I didn't have the dogs maybe I would have been able to take some bird shots instead. :biggrin:

 

Thanks Gale. No I won't get any gooseberries this year either.

 

Thanks Phil. They are also very loving creatures.

Thanks Harry. I like that one myself too.
