Time to say Goodbye

Although our garden is nothing like Wyatt's...every year we have a little one in the backyard. Well today was the day to take it down.  During the summer, they rely on me to chase away anything that tries to get into that garden.  I chase the birds and those squirrels and even baby groundhogs.  Who needs a scarecrow when you have a Westie.  As the tomatoes grew, it made a nice tunnel for me to run through and sometimes I would just sit in there.  You couldn't see me, so I would trick my Mom into thinking that I finally figured a way out of the yard.  My job today was to guard the veggies that he found and to make sure that the piles of stuff didn't blow away, oh and to protect my Dad from any critters or maybe that groundhog I keep seeing in my Nana's yard.   I was outside with him until he was done and as payment for doing a great job, he took me for a ride in the truck to the dump.

Good job Hoke! It's a ruff job to guard the garden. I like riding to the dump too (riding anywhere really, except the vets.)

Sometimes I like to help in the garden by making more holes!
