The Bunny Climbed the Garden Bed, and the Bulldog Could Only Stare
The bunny has the high ground. A brindle-and-white Bulldog, his face broad and wrinkled, tips his head up and looks with big, curious eyes at a small brown bunny sitting on the edge of a raised wooden garden bed, her ears upright and her nose twitching. Green seedlings, damp soil and a few small flowers fill the bed, and the grass and fence behind them glow in the sun.
Bulldogs are known for being calm, affectionate and a little stubborn. They are sturdy dogs, but their flat faces mean they overheat easily, so short walks and plenty of shade are best. A Bulldog usually gets along with other pets when introduced slowly, though they can be single-minded about food and attention.
Garden beds can be tempting for rabbits, who love to nibble fresh greens, and for dogs, who love to dig. Fencing off vegetable beds with a low barrier is a good idea. Some garden plants such as rhubarb leaves, onions and tomato foliage are harmful to both dogs and rabbits, so check what is growing before letting pets roam.
The Bulldog is simply watching and the bunny is simply sitting, and both seem to be taking the moment very seriously. Pip appears comfortable on her little hilltop. Nobody is in a rush, and the seedlings are safe for the moment.
