Yesterday I planted several pots of flowers for the nursing home courtyard, I’m hoping against hope that Weenie girl leaves them alone. She’s a compulsive digger! Last year I planted four flats of Impatiens, the phone rang and I ran inside the house. Five minutes later I returned to the garden to find dozens of little pink and green bodies strewn across the yard. Weenie had not only un-planted the Impatiens, but virtually destroyed every one of them!

Dog owners understand this dilemma. We love our pets but at the same time we crave a lovely yard…must dog ownership and lovely yards be mutually exclusive? According to the authors of Dog Friendly Gardens, Garden Friendly Dogs, the answer is NO.

Dog Friendly Gardens claims that they will show dog-owners how to design their garden with their dog in mind as well as being the dog owners guide to dog-friendly training efforts. I admit I have not read the book nor tried it, but the idea sounds great to me and to others as well, check out the reviews…

And now this, want to jazz up your ride? How about a Ford grill?
