Bark & Bites - Tips for Gardening with your dogs.

\u200BI don\u2019t have a green thumb. \nMy mother has one, so does my father, but somehow my thumb has managed\nto remain pink for quite some time.  My\nlack of experience is due to my fear of spiders (I\u2019m such a girl that way)\nand the fact that almost every house we have rented has provided some type of landscaping\nservice that maintains the property for us. \nSo I have never really had any reason to spend a lot of time weeding or maintaining\na yard. 

At some point in the future, my husband will retire from the\nMilitary, which means we will no longer be required to move.  When that time comes, we will find our\npermanent place of residence, and I will finally be able to design my house \u2013\ninside and out \u2013 the way I want.  I have\nan idea of what I would like my dream yard to have; a sizable vegetable garden,\nlush green grass, paver trails for the dogs to explore on, trees that produce\nfruit\u2026  all while providing a safe, comfortable\nenvironment for the dogs.

Since today is Water a Flower Day (and also because I really need to start learning about this stuff) I've collected a lists of helpful tips for gardening with your dogs. I hope these come in handy for you because they certainly will be for me!

  • Sunset Magazine has a great article explaining how to create\na \u2018dogscape\u2019 by learning to think like a canine.
  • The Oregon Garden has a great video explaining which plants\nwhich are toxic to pets, and addresses the issues of creating a landscape that\naccommodates pets.
  • Better Homes and Gardens provide 20 simple tips for\nbalancing the needs of pets and plants.
  • The Huffington Post has a great article on how you can grow\na dog friendly garden \u2013 and a garden friendly dog.
  • HGTV shows you how to pet proof your garden.
  • Wyatt is an Airedale who lives in Oregon and runs a\ngardening business! He is the go to blog (Gardening With Wyatt) for tips and inspiration!
  • I just stumbled upon this blog Three Dogs In A Garden and was blown away by all of the beautiful photos she has of her landscaping.

I don’t have a green thumb.  My mother has one, so does my father, but somehow my thumb has managed to remain pink for quite some time.  My lack of experience is due to my fear of spiders (I’m such a girl that way) and the fact that almost every house we have rented has provided some type of landscaping service that maintains the property for us.  So I have never really had any reason to spend a lot of time weeding or maintaining a yard. 

At some point in the future, my husband will retire from the Military, which means we will no longer be required to move.  When that time comes, we will find our permanent place of residence, and I will finally be able to design my house – inside and out – the way I want.  I have an idea of what I would like my dream yard to have; a sizable vegetable garden, lush green grass, paver trails for the dogs to explore on, trees that produce fruit…  all while providing a safe, comfortable environment for the dogs.
