HAHA!!! How horrible for a gardener to get a plant terrorist for a dog! What irony!

Well I am now thankful that my two boys (brothers, and quite the handful) only choose to run through my garden beds chasing squirrels. A past-time that can be truly destructive to my plants. I have learned if I leave a path through the beds which only has hardy plants we are all much happier. Of course there is the occasional daylily which tries to grow over the path which eventually will be shredded.

It doesn't help that I have put bird feeders all around these beds, which attracts not only a wide range of birds but a whole gaggle of birds which also are attracting the birds attention.

But then they come and snuggle for their nightime pets and I forget all about it!
