Ha ha! what a lovely dog! He looks very handsome with the scarf. He is gonna be gigantic! Great pyrenees are big and shepherds are, too! Both are smart, loyal and eager to please.
My neighbor's dog is a beagle/hound mix and he is quite the digger ! The idea of trying to get him to work for me doing the heavy digging has appealed to me. Sadly, digging is his art, and he only gets going when and where his muse dictates. Hopefully the raised veg. beds will be uninteresting to his fine sensibilities. We are great friends, me and this hound dog. His favorite game is stealing my plastic plant pots and dumping the contents, then tossing it up and chasing it around the yard! I have always wanted to have terra cotta pots, so maybe I can justify buying them so that Buddy the hound can't destroy them and leave the contents strewn about the yard. I don't have the heart to scold him for the plastic pot game, as he is just the utter embodiment of dog joy when he is engaged in it. Ears flying, jowls swinging,tail wagging, slobber slinging...it is quite the sight to see.
The photo is of my Chihuahua, Scarlet who is a great garden companion and chaser of butterflies, squirrels, and a few impertinent birds.
