Through Henry's eyes....

Awww, He's just great B. lovely blog and brill photos from Henry's viewpoint.

~Henry is getting a worms eye view!

As long as you dont interfere with his walking area and obviously a nice patch to have a roll around when needed, I think you` ve still got a happy Henry. It looks lovely Spritz,and has really filled out,.........

hes such a lovely dog,great photos.

Lovely island bed great close ups of flowers fom Henry's eye view no wonder he enjoys his morning walkabout

:o))

Beautiful blog including Henry, I think he s thinking her we go again, whats this now she s done, its a circle is she trying to run rings around me, mmmm less for me to roll around on, obsticle course for me I presume, is the oblisk with that pretty flower, for me to jump through I wonder, is there a little space for me to sniff around and do my toilet, nope the plants are well arranged can't get in there mmmmm I love the white Goura and the Coreopsis "Jive" though :)

The island bed looks pretty now. Hasn't it really fillled out in a short time ? It's nice to see it from both human snd dog-eye views.

Good blog Spritz and i love your photos :))
Isn't it nice when our pets agree with us and what we do ? !
:))

LOVED Henry the instant I joined this lovely site. Of course the garden's his! You're just looking after it for him Spritz! And doing a fantastic job!

Some fantastic planting there.....enjoyed walking round the bed :)))

the new bed i s great Spritz. its realy filled out. Henry looks so happy in the last photo...;-))

LOL how i love your Henry Spritz :) its no wonder he likes 2 have his look about with such a gorgeous display&collection of plants 4 him 2 see& smell :) That new border has turned out stunning :)x

Do you think Henry really knows all those long names Barbara and how are the knees after crawling round the garden, camera in hand!! The island bed is looking fabulous even though Henry may not appreciate it in the same way as us.
Lovely blog and great photos.

Lovely blog - I think Henry is just lucky to have a great owner and a great garden to roll around in! Lovely photos!

I have been staying with my sister-in-law and her dog does an "evening patrol" every night. I wonder what he can see that we cann't. Sometimes it is quite a job to get him in.

Thanks for the lovely comments! Yes, it has filled out - too much in some places! I shall have to cut back some of the plants which have expanded too far. The Persicaria loves it there - I planted 7 of them, and that was too many. Never mind, we learn by experience, don't we!

Henry DOES sniff flowers - I've watched him. He hasn't once tried to run across the new bed...good boy! :-) There's plenty more grass for him to roll on!

i just adore henry B, hes such a sweetie, wish he could come live with me, lol, i bet he loves all the lovely flowers, im convinced our pets like to see a nice garden,, angelina does

Brill blog and photos, and your island looks great and Henry is fab.

How on earth did you manage to take those lovely photos down an Henry's level? Did you not have a wet nose pushing in under your elbow the whole time? He may stay out of your new bed but I'm surprised you didn't finish up in there nose first, lol.

You're right - he is nosey! He likes to know exactly what I'm doing, and if I prune something - he grabs a piece, drags it off and does some 'pruning' of his own! Guess who has to clear it up, though!

More often, his ball gets dropped in front of me and an eager wet nose prods me! After all, that MUST be what I'm in the garden for, mustn't it? lol.

That makes sense to me, Henry!

Henry's a smasher Spritz...& your garden is beautiful...really beautiful. A credit to you...lovely pics.

Lovely blog great pics the dog great too

Enjoyed this blog immensly Spritz ! The through Henrys eyes shots are great and new bed looks a treat !

Wonderful Henry and beautiful garden. Thanks for lovely blog Spritz.

:-))

Fantastic Spritz . the newly created island looks as though it,s always been there , I have a feeling that Henry is use to things moving about and changing , I can just imagine him thinking " what has she done now , I,ll have to go the other way round again " :o)

Just had another looksee Spritz & your plants look so healthy & flourishing. A real pleasure to wander thru' with Henry.

Are you teasing me, with those fab colour combos of dark and creamy white?

Yes, I agree, Amy! Has this really been in existence for only 8 weeks or so? Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

PS Henry is as handsome as ever!

My colour scheme is cream, white, burgundy and lime green, David - so no - I'm not teasing you!

Thanks, all of you...I appreciate your kind comments...so does Henry!

Oh, yes, you are! Lovely!!!!!!!!! :-)

And a wee "Woof!" to lovely Henry!

Looks great Barbara - didn't the Persicaria do well! I remember when you first got it. It seems to go well with so many other plants. I'm really pleased with mine too.

Big ear-rub for Henry :-)

He'll ask for more when I stop, Sarah! lol.

Yes, I planted Persicaria in this bed after I'd seen how lovely it looked in the other flowerbed. It has gone a bit mad here - and weaves through the other plants, but I still like it a lot!

It seems to be well behaved enough - I thought mine had wandered becuase the long stems were appearing through other plants, but I traced them back and it hadn't spread from where I'd planted it.

Yes, you're right - they've just got very long stems! :-))

Excellent blog Spritz. I really enjoyed things from Henry's point of view and of course yours. The bed is just wonderful.

Thank you...:-)

What a lovely border, with such a stunning colour scheme..I am inspired!! Nice to see it from the hounds point of view..I always wonder what Dar makes of my work...not that he ever lets me do anything without "supervision"!! He and Henry are obviously from the same school of thought!!

I know my place in the hierarchy, Maranddar - it's Henry's garden....I just look after it for him! lol.

I can just see you crawling around that bed, taking "Dog's Eye View" pics!! LMAO!! Great blog!
What's the white & burgundy flower? Is that the clematis? It's superb!

Your new bed's really come along great in the short time it's been there and thanks for the Henry's Eye View pics.

No - that's Coreopsis 'Jive', Madperth. I'm not sure if it will turn out to be hardy, yet. I am always crawling round on hands and knees - it's much easier to see the weeds before they get big! lol.

You're welcome, Keithsmum! :-)

Lol! I'll wait til I know if it's hardy before adding it to my wishlist!!!!!!!
You sure you havent been at Oddbillie's pints???? LOL!

LOL. I've worn a hole in the knees of my jeans!!

I do that too!!

I suppose I could pretend they were 'designer' jeans, but I don't think anyone in the village would believe me. It's just not that kind of place!! LOL.

LMAO!!!!!!!

Tell Henry he has a brilliant eye for colour. lovely pictures and a smashing garden.

I sure will! He loves 'his' garden! Funnily enough, so do I! lol. Thanks, Rbtkew.

what an achievement, the stroll round this island was quite stunning, I wonder if Henry realizes how lucky he is to be able to wonder around such complementry planting every day.

It is amazing how your island bed looks as if it has always been there, well done to you, your hard work paid off.
I am sure Henry thinks your wonderful, most labs worship their owners and Vice-versa.

Great blog Spritz....the new flower bed is gorgeous...I have my eye on the lovely Coreopsis 'jive'...its a beauty..like everything in your garden...including Henry.....:>)

Thanks, Dd and Motinot! Yes, Henry is a wonderful dog - very loving. i often get a 'kiss' when I'm weeding!

I am really hoping that 'Jive' will survive the winter...

lovely blog and beautiful island planting - I have a large standard poodle boy who is terrified of 1 particular fish (a large ghost carp) in my pond. When I feed the fish or when he walks past the pond he is obsessed with ''finding Casper' - he goes around and around until he sees him, then he either barks or just seems content to know where he is! I'm not sure where else he thinks Casper could be........

Thanks.

Dogs can get strange things into their heads, can't they!

Being a Labrador, Henry would be straight in the pond with Casper! It would be the fish who were terrified! LOL.

What a brilliant blog, excellent pics and a garden to inspire.
My black Lab would certainly enjoy a swim with 'Henry'.
Is his name Henry?

It certainly is! Yours would enjoy splashing around with Henry in our stream, I suspect!

Thank you for the lovely comments, Tricia!

Thanks for the tour - what lovely planting. I do like a lot of white flowers. Appreciate all the plant names too, although some won't grow here. But it does help when I go to the nursery to buy seedlings.

Shame - some would, though, I'm sure! It's certainly worth checking, if there's something you really like. :-))

Thanks for the lovely comment!

Lovely blog Spritz. The new patch and planting looks lovely with the obelisk reaching for the sky in the middle !
And Henry .... what can I say but ... 'You're gorgeous !!'

Henry says 'Thank you' - and so do I! :-)

The pleasure is all mine ! :))
