It’s a dog’s life

As a first time homeowner I enjoy my little garden. It is my sanctuary, and I enjoy nothing better than weeding on a summers evening, or sitting on the bench with a book.

I read with interest Monty’s experience as a dog owner (Full Monty, March issue). As the owner of a five-month-old cocker spaniel my little sanctuary is being destroyed by big feet and puppy teeth carrying away the wintering pots to hide in the lavender. My days of leisurely weeding or reading are long gone.

I would love to see more notes when recommending plants regarding the safety for dogs or any other pets. Here’s looking forward to the summer and the fun of dog versus summer plants.
