Dogs and Organic Gardening

We love to have a garden and through the years it has been a learning experience. The addition of compost, leaves, and manure are a must. Our dogs always check what we're doing right from the beginning, when we first begin to dig. There is much to be said on this subject of gardening! I have found an interesting site at www.organicgardening.com
One year our dog Charlie Brown, a Terrier mix, helped harvest some little cabbages. As the children sat in the grass dipping cabbage leaves in mayo and munching them down, he joined right in.
Many weeds were pulled with a dog sitting near by.
Digging potatoes was a game for Moe,our Yorkie-poo. He would race around barking as we dug and potatoes appeared. One time he grabbed a potato and ran around the yard with great delight!

  1. I bet Moe had a grand time helping to dig for potatoes :) Thank you for sharing the website and the story.
