Thanks to\*\* burpo\*\* for the heads up on this thread! That dog (beautiful, by the way) looks just like my Trixie dog. (Pics here) : [bob smith | Flickr](https://www.flickr.com/photos/155285423@N02/) I’ve got lots of good action shots, but no good internet to share it. ☹ ---

Leet the Wonder Dog[sup]TM[/sup] is also a Helpful Gardening Assistant. When I trim the bushes, he likes to seize the offending branch in his mighty jaws, pull it down, then I cut the branch and he falls over backwards and then runs off to gnaw on it for a while. I am trying to convince him to put the branch on the pile, but he prefers to save it for later rather than approach the dreaded Yard Waste Bin That Makes a Scary Rumbling Noise. He also attempts to supplant the weed whacker by eating the grass on the edges, but that generally involved barfing it up about five minutes later, so we try to discourage it. Regards, Shodan ---

My new male greyhound Loki is also a master gardener. Well, perhaps more of a landscaper. After he pees, he scratches with all 4 feet like many dogs do. But his long toenails, long toes and massively strong feet and legs from his career as a racer causes him to rip out little divots all over. I’m considering hiring him out to aerate people’s lawns.
