Haha! I love dogs, seriously but these three I want to drop kick out of my yard. Okay that is a little extreme but one of them pooped on my shrub while I was planting flowers in the yard!! And the neighbors lab was asleep in the shrub bed on top of a yaupon one day when I pulled up!

Even worse is there are new people who have a fourth dog roaming the neighborhood. We are out of city limits, no county ordinance so it would be up to the lazy HOA to do anything. If it weren't so expensive my yard would be lined with an electric fence in front. I am a responsible pet owner and I don't want one of them getting hit by a car on dying in my yard. In fact 2 of the 3 dogs I have almost hit with my own car and I drive 15 mph in the neighborhood! Ugh.

The Japanese Barberry have some pretty mean thorns, they walk in through that bed and they will have some scratches to explain to their puppy mommy. And hopefully the pungent Garlic does deter them, it is nice to look at but not smell.
