Gardening...

As you can see from the photo of me (Teefah) here beside I am very good at gardening, my speciality is digging! Our folks have used lots of time to plant trees, palms, flowers and other plants in the garden. We try to help them keeping it pretty...

We have heard that trees shall be trimmed; this mean you cut some branches (I think it is called "pruning") here and there to keep a fine shape of it. How ever, the folks had planted some palm trees, and we thought they were too bushy. So Paloma (Blondie) and Zara decided to do something about it. First it looked like this, see the picture above, VERY VERY bushy, don't you agree?

They really had to put in lots of effort to make it look better. I can tell you it was a hard work for them to gnaw and bite over all the leafs, it took both days and weeks! But little by little the progress become more and more visible and finally we all thought it was ok. You can see the final result on the right. Much prettier and when Sterling and Knodden wants to lift their legs on it they don't have those leafs touching their backs...

Somehow our folks didn't seem to appreciate the job, they don't have any feeling for what is beautiful or not at all! Daddy is absolutley sure the palm tree is totally dead, but mummy says that the little green thing at the top is alive and to prove it she has fenced it in. So now it is absolutley impossible to do more about it. We'll just have to wait and see what's happening. Mummy talks about taking away all plants and replace them with cactuses. I can tell you that all we hounds DON'T agree...
