Outdoor water features or are they really dog play areas.

Odin

Once upon a time long long ago I had a garden that was well-kept and well mulched and was a delight to behold.

In this garden I have a half wine barrel water feature with various types of water plants and succulents growing in and around this said water feature.

Griffin the wonderdog had taken to drinking out of this feature but due to his hatred of water I thought of it as my one sacred place for my plants to thrive. Well talk about a false sense of security, Enter Odin, fur-ever friend of the wonderdog, protector of the wonderdog and apparent lover of water and the one to desecrate the water features.

Now many would say with the wonderdog being so good at being naughty, it must have been him, but the dear wonderdog was bone dry not a drop of water to be seen and Odin came running in the house, slip sliding away from very wet paws, had a very wet snout and his chest was just a lot damp!

Off I go to investigate the damage and dear Odin had dragged all my plants out of the water feature and shared them with the Griffin monster and the pair of them had decided to propagate them into thousands of little plants. So now I have two landscape designers and water feature fixeruperers in my life ๐Ÿ™‚

Always looking for the bright side. I had not put the turtles outside for a swim,they were safely inside in their tank ๐Ÿ™‚

PS Odin is also a rescue dog just a bit older than the wonderdog, until there are none – rescue one ๐Ÿ™‚ or maybe two if you have the room ๐Ÿ™‚
