Sad ending to a Buddleja.

Once I had a beautiful butterfly bush and it was attracting a lot of interest by the butterflies and bees galore, then my garden companion decided it was taking up too much room.
Just look at the state he`s left it in.
It was all over the lawn and yard as well…
I know its in the dogs play area but I am still very angry..
As you can see he sulked after his telling off then less than an hour later had another go at it..
Luckily I do have another bush…
I`ve warned him if he touches that one his life won` t be worth living..
On the good side today was quite sunny and I did get my lawns mowed also deadheaded my flowers (again) that takes ages when doing the everlasting sweetpeas and roses, so not all bad……

All replaceable at least :)))) We had sweetpeas I planted very bad and they grabbed and killed a few things. Glad you have another nice one :))))))

I am sure he thought he was helping with the pruning after all he wouldn't just do it to be naughty would he! :-)

Maybe he was trying to do a Butterfly count,Lincslass..are you feeding him enough ? .Lol.

He's such a handsome boy ... you know you'll forgive him anything! : o ))

It'll do well for a good prune but just try to explain you're supposed to wait until the flowers have gone!!

LOL,even after a mega scolding and smack on his nose with the instruction NO BITE, the naughty boy has had another go, he`s doing it when I`m busy with something else, like a child would....

oh dear... naughty doggy..... but im sure it will come back next year they do well with a good prune but not usually at this time of year....
My kayleigh has so far not taken any interest in my plants.... thank goodness.. : O ))

oh dear sue, naughty boy, hope its ok, i was telling another lovely member about deturing doggies from doing naughty things, a quirt of water when they go near something you dont want them to touch, invest in a water pistel sue, apparently they soon learn not to go near the said item , and it doesnt hurt them, remember your the pack leader in your house/garden lol

How could you get angry with a sorrowful face like that. Never mind you will have to give it another (lol) pruning a bit earlier this year.

Poor doggie! He was just "keeping out of mischief!" How was he to know you're not supposed to "prune" these shrubs in July! :-D LOL!
