Now that spring is well-entrenched, we’ve had long, exhausting days (illustrated here) filled with gardening (Mr. P.), digging (dogs), mouse-catching (Mr. Smoky), butterfly-catching (Miss Kitty), and bra-fitting (Miss Jean). The once velvety green of our small back yard is now a barren wasteland of mud, dust, sticks, and leaves. This stuff gets tracked into the house endlessly, where it mixes with dog hair into an endless sea of ordure. I put the dogs out, do a blitz of dust/sweep/mop and enjoy the relative cleanliness for about 3 minutes or until the dogs insist on coming in again, whichever comes first.

Being the owner of 7 dogs, when asked how my back yard is landscaped I say that it is dogscaped and understand about the 3 minutes of cleanliness.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. digging is one of our dogs most favorite activities. It's very disheartening to Mr. P., a professional landscaper!
We're not much for digging, but we do chew holes in the lawn(the parents don't get it, dirt tastes good) and Mom thinks the pattern of pee-burnt lawn must have some sorta artistic appeal, so we must be dogscapers too.
Grins and Kisses,
Ying and Yang
