I swear that Bowser is some kind of closet doggy gardener because whenever I am working in my yard, he won’t leave me alone. He has the full roam of the property including my landlords’ much bigger yard but decides he must be in my business whenever he sees me with tools in hand.
I ran in to get a drink of water while preparing to install 2 new garden beds (just peeking on right hand side of photo). My taskmaster is watching me through the kitchen window.The Supervisor
My son-in-law suggested I use string in order to line up the new beds with the existing, for symmetry. This is how that went.
Someone grabbed the string and ran into his yard with it. Despite not being able to use the string, I did get the beds situated and filled with soil and even planted! With peas and marigolds. No thanks to my favourite photo bomber.Being a nuisance helper is hard work. Bowser dozing in the spring sun.Old Sleepy Face was relieved to come inside with me, and rest in style. But demanded scritches until he fell asleep. He seemed to think he deserved them, being such a Good Helper and all…and I obliged.Finally, peace for both of us.
We hope you are having a productive weekend, with lots of peace too.
Of course, he grabbed the string! The garden looks great. We are switching to raised beds and mulch. How tall are your beds? That’s one thing we haven’t decided.
I’m so excited to see what you do in your gardens this year!
Well, look who has the best helper and it sounds like she *might* be complaining about the free labor. 🤣
YES! I am complaining about the free labour because my “helper” helps himself to things like garden tools and string I am trying to line up my garden beds with. And I end up laughing so much I can’t get any work done. Nice problems to have, though 😄. Thanks, Suz 💕
Poor Bowser, worn out by all that gardening
He works so hard, doesn’t he? 😉 Thanks, Sheree 💕
Frustrating, but too adorable to get mad. I have the same issue with Dudley and laundry folding…
😉
It’s such a good thing they’re cute, isn’t it? 🤣 Thanks, Rivergirl 💕
Aren’t there dog labor laws in your country? You are working him too hard!
Shhhhhh!!!! Next thing I know he’ll be starting a union…🤣. Thanks, Kate 💕

They’re not very tall – only 12”. Still a lot of bending needed. Thank you, Bernie 💕
I think we might build ours at about 24/30″. Easy to use stool or sit on knees.
He LOOKS like a task master in that first photo! Haha!
He THINKS he is the boss of me (and I’m afraid he’s right 🤣). Thanks, Tracey 💕
We are having a productive weekend. But, I’m sure it would be a lot more fun with Bowser around to entertain. Have a wonderful week.
Bowser would certainly entertain if not distract! Thanks, Suzanne 💕
I love that little guy!
Me too! Thanks, Jean 💕
But he is such an adorable “helper.” Your garden looks amazing, Deb! 💜
It’s getting there! Yes, good thing he is so adorable 😉. Thank you, Natalie 💕
Oh what a sweetheart to “help” you in the garden 😂 then so angelic when sleeping! ❤
Some days sleeping Bowser is my favourite Bowser 😜. Thanks, Sharon 💕

Aww, what an adorable helper Bowzer is! I can’t wait to see you both soon! Miss you!!
We miss you too!!! Thanks, Donna 💕
Love how he lies there with all legs extended out; that’s how my girls sleep also!
I love it too! Thanks, Luisa 💕
Such a character! And I mean that in the best way possible 🙂
Taken in the best way possible! Thanks so much, Debs 😊
He’s a delight. Your planting beds look like they’ll be wonderful.
Thank you, Ally 💕 Hoping I have good luck with my garden like last year 🤞
