Remedy for dogs in the garden


My wife gardens for pleasure and for the pleasure of others. She loves dogs and other animals. However, when the Newfoundland "puppy" next door wanders into the garden, patience suffers.

Sniffing around innocently, the 80 pounder (his father is 180 lbs.) knows little of the osteospermum and the salvia officinalis he "bewilders" with his bear like paws.

Since we live in Southern California, I recommended that my wife try a cactus to steer the pooch elsewhere.

"A cactus?" She inquired.

"Yes, a cactus. Believe me, that "little" Newf* will get the point.**


*Shortened version for Newfoundland (dog) which we love.
**Actually, our "little" friend will probably not get the point. His fur is thick enough to cushion any points made by cactuses.
