A gnawing habit

by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

I’m so afraid that this photo might foretell the future of my garden!

You see I have an almost 6 month old Lab puppy and, if you don’t know, Labs love to chew everything!

We plan on trying our best to keep our puppy out of the garden beds, but I have a feeling if I let down my guard some of my roses might end up looking like this tree! Can you imagine?

Well I guess some of you can as I’ll bet a few of you have had a garden bed dug up or destroyed by a pet dog in the past.

I sure hope our dog doesn’t become our biggest garden pest! LOL

    Great picture, over the course of a winter my chocolate lab ate 6 of my 12 cedar trees that I had planted that previous spring. The looked exactly like that picture.

    I sympathize, I have 2 dobermans. I tried a nice 1 foot high wire edging fence to keep them out of the flower beds but I don’t think it’s working so I’m going to have to block a whole section of my yard with larger fencing to give my garden a chance this spring.
    Depending on how bad they are it might even be an electric fence, yikes!
