Did I mention the 83 pound chocolate labrador retriever who roams our yard, hiking his leg on anything in sight and who is affectionately known as “The Brown Bullet” due to his propensity to run wildly through the yard at high speed after birds and squirrels? He knows no boundaries and hasn’t met a bush he couldn’t kill in short manner due to his turbo peeing ability. His real name is Charlie Guinness (Charlie his given name by the lab rescue and Guinness well I am sure you can figure that out). Charlie G. loves nothing more than to bask in the sun while lying in the yard with a nice soft hosta for a pillow. We’ll see how he likes the garden/courtyard transformation. He doesn't seem too thrilled about losing the nice green ground cover he loved to lie in and his favorite bushes. I am sure 3dogGardener can relate to the challenges of gardening "Where the Wild Things Are".
Hmm, I am thinking "Chuck" might need some company chasing the four legged varmints from your yard. Everyone knows there is power in numbers and just think of the intense fear 2 labs would instill on the wildlife around there. Heck, the little pests won't stand a chance and they will soon learn your house is off limits. When Chuck and associate (a puppy would be ideal since Chuck could teach it some good dog/bad dog lessons early on) complete their duty they can then lounge around and take it easy during those dog days of summer which are just around the corner...and you can peacefully do your gardening.
