[Dailydrool] Bassets and Gardens

[Rebecca Stanton]

Morse loves gardens, anyones garden actually. We have only just moved so this 
garden is new to us and we're not sure where to put stuff yet, but it doesn't 
matter really  as Morse regularly throws himself through the plants to the few 
holes he has dug at the back of the rockeries, and starts digging all over 
again. After a few minutes he collapses into the hole and watches us through the 
shrubs, with soil all over his face. We inherited some roses at the front and 
dadslave has fenced them off with some string. Every day Morse tries to navigate 
this piece of land without success and it is an obvious source of irritation to 
him.  

Last week we had to put our neighbours geese away for the night as the 
neighbours had gone out. I took Morse with us as the geese are on a separate 
piece of land, dadslave sorted them out while I took Morse through to the 
gardens.  The neighbours gardens are wonderful. They open the gardens regularly 
for charity and holds teas there, and people wander about admiring it all. Dogs 
are not encouraged. So as they were out for the evening, I thought what harm 
could a little Morse visit do?  Why didn't I know better?  I let him off the 
lead and he just took off - he  must've been waiting for the opportunity for 
some time. He tore down the hill and galloped straight into their vegetable 
patch. I ran after him and did drag him off (eventually) but will have to shake 
head sympathetically if neighbours ever mention that the veggies in that plot 
'just haven't taken off this year'.  *sigh*

just doing some weeding) and Pumbaa ATB (bwaahhh!)
