poo that is ... big deep naughty dog piles of it
I thought he was very affectionate when I came home .. but he is basically an affectionate puppy who likes his people and likes his ears scratched ... then I turned around and saw the empty black plastic pot ....
I don't HAVE any empty black plastic pots outside the shed ... and he's smart but he's not smart enough to open the shed ...
As I screeched my way across the driveway to look at my ex-pot plant sanctuary he headed for safety behind the table on the patio ... as if!
The rotten beggar had pulled the fence right back and flung pots far and wide, managing to rip a lovely little pink banksia rose in HALF, killing my lovely inch high nasturtiums, at least most of the geraniums will recover ...
He was frog marched to the orchard, smacked with the lead on the bum, told he was a bad dog at high decibel levels, and left to his own devices. Mr Tasmania was told what he'd done through tears of sheer rage on the phone and came home quick smart.
JD the not so wonderful dog is in the orchard for the duration ie until I can stand to look at him without wanting to heave something very large at him ... and I will be going to buy tomato stakes and solid chicken wire tomorrow and building a solid cage out on the plateau where the first raised garden bed is going and all the pots and any survivors will go in that .. will have the added bonus that any overflow of water, seaweed fertilizer, fish fertilizer etc will start working on the ground underneath.
Honestly ...
