Grandma Nell Watered the Flowers. Waffles Checked Every Drop.

AI imagebeaglegardeningflower beds

A metal watering can tips just so, and a thin spray of water glitters down onto a bed of pink and purple flowers. Grandma Nell watches her work through round glasses, a green cardigan over a checked shirt and her curly gray hair soft in the afternoon light. Waffles leans in beside the flowers with his long nose almost level with the spray, big brown eyes following every drop. Terracotta pots, a pair of gardening gloves and a row of seedlings sit near the porch behind them, and tiny blossoms of orange, purple and pink fill the bed.

Gardens are full of smells, and a Beagle will want to inspect each one. Keep an eye on what is planted where your dog can reach, since many common garden plants, including some bulbs, azaleas and sago palms, can be toxic to pets. Fertilizers, slug bait, cocoa mulch and weed killers can be dangerous too, so store them out of reach and follow label directions. Beagles love to dig after scents, so you may need to fence off new beds or give your dog a spot where digging is welcome. Offer fresh water, since a dog can drink from puddles and hoses, and watch for sun and heat on warm afternoons. A gentle garden day is nice for both of you.

Waffles has supervised every watering can in the yard. He gives his silent approval, and the flowers keep growing.
