HI Shawn,

Just wanted to say hi,,,,,we are neighbors....well, kinda! I live in Temecula.  I don't have dogs right now, so can't help you with your questions.

In the Shelter of His Wings,

Fern <*((><

     Hi Susan and Dan,
     
     I have two big dogs, golden and aussie shep mix. Both diggers. Both 
     adore tomatoes and other veggies. Both love water, hoses and 
     sprinklers. So you see my problem. We broke down and put in an 
     expensive chain link fence. Peace of mind beats all.
     
     If anybody comes up with a safe effective dog deterrent (not an 
     electric wire), please post it! We are moving to a new place and will 
     have to start all over, and we may be renting, so putting in a fence 
     will not be an option.
     
     P.S. I may be off the list for awhile while I relocate and get back up 
     and running email at work, but I just wanted to say a quick thank you 
     to all of you who have entertained me and answered my questions about 
     gardening. Later...

Susan,
     
Try putting a lawn sprinkler (the kind that pulse) in your garden and 
only turn it on when pouch heads the wrong direction. The trick is to NOT 
let him see you turn there water on, this way he will know that messing 
with moms garden even when shes not home won't be fun. Just an idea, 
hopefully Bowser hates the noise and stream of water.
