Hi! I'm Sloppy Dog. It's cranberry harvesting season at Mann Farms in Buzzards Bay. That's Massachusetts, on Cape Cod....you know, Pilgrim Country.
Most dogs get their cranberry sauce from the store, but I like to get mine fresh from the bog.
Fortunately, they have plenty to spare.
They have to harvest them today, because we're having a visit from Tropical Storm Noel tomorrow.
Being a dog, I don't know what all that stuff in he bog is. I assume that they use it when harvesting.
Keith Mann, who runs the place, told me that these cranberries are headed to Ocean Spray... so if you enjoy your cranberry sauce or Cape Codders, pour out a little liqour for the hardworking folks at both Mann Farms and R+B Farms.
I'm actually quite enchanted with this shade of red, myself.
Don't worry, Sloppy Dog.. we'll go back soon.
We visited last year, and explained the process better here... The Million Cran March and here... Mann To The Fiz-Arm

I am fascinated with cranberry bogs, and this dog looks like he is, too. I had no idea cranberry bogs even existed until I saw your photos last year. I know that time of the year is upon us again, hence the cranberry bogs! Do you mind being associated with cranberry bogs? I want to be associated with bougainvillea!

Beautiful color! Your doggie makes me miss my Bernese Mt. dog who died a few weeks ago. She came from Falmouth and loved to do outdoor stuff like shellfishing and walks in the woods.
