Re: Keeping dogs out of perennial beds

Hello
We use large rocks (large rocks look good) placed by the plants that get the most abuse when our coonhound starts chasing airplanes...works for the most part....but the better the maze the better the results....
Now we know folks who use an "invisable fence" around garden areas....electronic collar and all that...buried wire etc....100% success...until they put the dummy collars on 1 year later....only took 24 hrs for the dogs to figure it out! Batteries are cheaper then plants ;> }

Now there is the story of the woman who couldn't understand why her dogs wouldn't get in the car w/ her to go to town.....until her husband explained that he always turned off the fence before he left..... since it crossed under the driveway! Arrf ARRF!!!!
My shift key is acting up....sorry.....I've ordered a 'shiftkey repair kit' ..... Should be here anyday now.
