Title: Unexpected Disasters.....maybe?
Post by: Axe Victim on February 20, 2007, 00:50

Ho Hum....well, got home today to discover that our 'lively' spaniel, Dilly, had not only discovered our seeds  :shock: (conveniently placed all together in a beautifully crafted 'seed-bag' by the wife) and chewed her way through all the packets... :shock: but, had (as if enough was not enough) also mashed her way through and trashed 48 of our window ledge plantings of aubergines, cabbage, leeks, tomatoes (4 different varieties) squashes and...aaargh :shock: , what evers....gawd bless her cotton socks. :roll:  :shock:  

On the positive side...we've scraped up the debris...and, who knows what will survive?

 :wink:

Gotta look on the brightside.... :shock:  :D

My heart goes out for your loss, but it might not be a total one. It's the price one pays for having pets. Yours may crash and smash but my cats love to 'graze' so I've learned the hard way to keep the 2 well separated. Live and learn, and keep smiling.  :roll:

fortunately its still early enough in the year to be able to start all over again - maybe keep doggies and seeds/plants well separated for next time? :wink:
