I too dislike slugs I must say, there is nothing beautiful about them and they destroy everything.

I lived away from my hometown for 25 years, but have now lived here again for several years, and it's not the same. Our winters are much milder. <br /><br />Thankfully, we do not have slugs. I've never liked those little dudes.sallymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832828827048897372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-28382371925921465462009-07-31T10:16:58.709+02:002009-07-31T10:16:58.709+02:00Thank you everyone for your lovely comments and fo...Thank you everyone for your lovely comments and for taking the time to stop by.:)<br />xoxoZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-87551344607614839392009-07-30T15:23:45.165+02:002009-07-30T15:23:45.165+02:00Denmark is having very similar weather to ours, in...Denmark is having very similar weather to ours, in Canada (at least our part).

A pain indeed for flowers and plants, as you mentioned, so in a way I'm relieved we've been having summery weather lately. Remember our "canĂcula"? It was supposed to end last Thursday, but it's still going on, for almost 2 weeks now. I'm happy with the sunny, clear days, but at some point this lack of rain will hurt nature, agriculture especially, so in a way, I'm hoping for rain again, even if it brings out more snails.Claushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803540562431030465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-27426812758019223682009-07-29T16:32:45.370+02:002009-07-29T16:32:45.370+02:00Cute!

Funny that we think slugs are disgusting, but put a shell on their backs and they are wonderful! ha-ha!

When we take Benny out on a walk, he wants to bite every single snail (it's the smaller kind) he sees on the path. We have to beat him to it, pick it up and fake him out by pretending to throw it. He runs in the direction he thinks it should land while we gently place it elsewhere out of his sight. Crazy dog! You'd probably love him. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-1508222860004778222009-07-29T14:26:32.013+02:002009-07-29T14:26:32.013+02:00An edible snail?

You had to be careful outside at night or else you might step on a slug. UGGGG, whenever I stepped on one there would be a big slime spot on the bottom of my foot that was hard to remove. I hated that!steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.com
