No bone meal for irises, no fish emulsion on anything low enough to be climbed in, and don't let them see you digging any holes.

Our dog would roll in a dead seagull at the beach and in cow muck in the field. <BR/>Did you cry? I would have. I did when our gate was left open and the deer came in and ate everything. <BR/>Anyway if it wasn't that the dog got there first I'm sure a raccoon could scale the fence and do Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793140192173953553.post-14215311364972507482009-03-10T09:42:00.000-05:002009-03-10T09:42:00.000-05:00I was so jealous of your fish heads!
