Backyards and Puppies

Who knew there was a newspaper called the Daily Puppy?  But, why not?

And, we found a great article on preparing one’s backyard for a new puppy – all you need is a sturdy fence, safe plant material, shelter area/dog house, and water.   And, make sure you leave a large grassy area of the backyard free of flowers and plants to allow unencumbered romping and running and eliminate brambles and sharp stones from the backyard to protect the dogs from scratches and footpad damage.

We also like this ASPCA list of toxic and non-toxic plants for when you are considering what to plant for this new puppy yard!
