Following Jinks' escapade last Sun http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/365/2014-07-21 we had a think how to make our garden (which includes a stream) safer.

We gathered together pots of flowers, including this hydrangea to surround the wooden deck and patio.

Jinks came out via the patio door, had a look round and then went back in conceding defeat at not being able to get into the garden. So now Ray has the job of making a permanent trellis fence and gate...........

But it will be worth it!
Delightfully bright and cheerful hydrangea Hazel.

Super image Hazel -- it looks so fresh and healthy - And what we do in the name of "small dogs " -- it will give you a great peace of mind and keep Mr J safe and curtail his inquisitive wanderings !! -- you will win yet Hazel !!

@beryl

Beryl, thanks for fav and comments! After we'd decided what to do I happened to meet a man out with his choc lab this morning and he told me his dog is confined in exactly the same way at his home. We think Jinks must have got into the stream which is a puzzle as he hates water and has never done it before. What a fright it all was!

That is very pretty.

Beautiful shot. I think Jinks could do with one of those ankle bracelets which convicts have when they are on parole to stop them moving outside the allotted area.

Gorgeous shot, I'm glad the patio is not Jinks proof.

That would be an idea, Babs - but he couldn't even keep a sock on when he had a poor paw!!!!!

@craftymeg

It's funny, also sad, to see walking with tail down, around the no-exit deck - but I can't cope with too many doggy one-night stands!
