RE: Immortality Iris/Dogs

Love the dog stories - they're giving me a chuckle today.  What kind of
pup, Holli?

LOLOL!!!!!!!  Can relate to the puppy help!  My pup eats seeds  also.
Even 
will steal a tomato and run with it as I chase him.  He  also has seen
me 
setting up to transplant some small plants, well he steals the  plastic
pots from 
me and runs off with it like it was a toy.  And of  course he chews it
up, as 
he is looking at me!
He isnt much of a watch dog, as he thinks anyone that comes here is here
to  
see him, but DONT GO NEAR THE POOL!  He gives the neighbors  headaches.
He is 
the lifeguard, and is always on pool patrol.  If you  use the diving
board, 
be prepared for a scolding as he will tell ya off.   And when you jump
off, or 
in, he will dive in and save you!  Actually,  when we have company, he
is 
kindda the entertainment this year!

Well,  when I divided them, I TRIED to put an older tuber with some of
the younger  off-shoots so you might get a show this fall. But, one of
my dogs went in  and messed up my neat little organized pile of freshly
divided iris that I  had on the grass...so I kind of had to guess. I
tell ya....trying to garden  with two big German Shepherd puppies is not
easy. They take out my plant  markers, drink all of the water out of my
birdbath...actually EAT the  birdseed (why, I don't know), if I'm
dividing plants, I look behind me and  the female has them in her mouth
trotting off like I've given her a treat.  I have to run after her and
get it BACK. Oy. Can't wait for them to mature  some.
