A Fluffy Dog Looked Over the Garden Bed and Found Five Surprises
A cream Havanese with a long, silky face rests his chin on the edge of a raised garden bed and looks down with big dark eyes. Inside the bed, among the herbs and soil, five kittens peek back up at him: a calico, a grey tabby, a black one, another grey, and an orange one on the right edge. The evening garden glows with soft light, and plants and a wooden fence fade into the blur behind.
Kittens are curious about gardens and love to explore, but not every plant is safe for them. Some herbs and flowers can be harmful if eaten, and soil may contain fertilizers or other chemicals, so check before letting them play. Havanese dogs are friendly and sociable, and they are happy to watch over their little friends. Cats tend to consider soft soil an ideal place to dig, so be ready for some mess. A vet can tell you which plants are safe and which to avoid.
The Havanese tilts his head, as if trying to work out how five kittens got into the garden. They stare back, equally puzzled. Neither side is in any hurry to leave. The herbs, it must be said, will never be the same. But the faces peeking over the wooden edge are about as charming as a garden can get.
