I just watched Max (18 months old) pull the puppy (4 months) out of the doghouse by the ears then poke her in the direction he wanted her to go. She didn't complain, but just had a look of resignation on her face. Poor dog. lol

This was her the day we got her. I've got more on the camera, so I could post them some time after I download them. She's a lot bigger now. She was six weeks old in this pic.

Here's a couple of Max and the dogs in the front yard.

The puppy (Cleo) is about 3 1/2 months old now, so she's learning a few things. She's never snapped once at anyone including Max, so we're pleased that she has a good nature. She's a bit of a mongrel dog. She's got great dane, bull mastiff, ridgeback and some bull arab in the mix, so she's going to be a big dog, but that's what we wanted anyway.

As you can see, there's no way Max could have pulled her out of the house unless she decided to move herself. I was just impressed that she put up with it. It must have hurt.

gotta ask about those culverts. Is that a common Aussie thing or is it something to do with your husband's work? Looks like swiss chard in one of them, squash in the other.

Do you always leave your Sybian out where the neighbors can see ?

They're not to do with Dazza's work. In fact, he hates gardening believe it or not. He's more interested in killing fish for relaxation.

We've got a range of things including what we call rainbow chard or silverbeet, squash, zucchini, eggplant, strawberries, beetroot, and the one at the far end where Max is standing is mostly lettuce and cabbage. There are also tomato seedlings in all three at the back.

We planted them out about 6 weeks ago and are just about to start harvesting zucchini and squash, and we've already had strawberries, chard and salad greens.

About the commonality of them, not too many people have them, but they're becoming more popular because for one thing, you don't have to bend over so far for the weeding. Another for me is that it keeps the dogs off the beds (somewhat). Also, we have very sandy soil, so I needed to put a fair bit of mulch and stuff in to keep the beds damp enough and be a bit more water efficient.

Oh yes. Sometimes I even sit on it when they're in their yards. They always think it's funny. It used to have two prongs, but one of them got broken during some rough play one day.

Hopefully, you were able to find it.

Does Cleo snuffle? I love dogs that snuffle(-actually I love most dogs). Last night went to dinner at a place with a staffie. While they're not the most aesthetically appealing dogs, their personalities do grow on you.

She snores really loudly. I'm afraid of what volume she's going to hit when she gets old.

Then it will be time to employ the cone of silence.
