Yes, I can see why that would be a big problem!
Happy my pooch has a short, single coat! ...and has learned to stay out of my beds and borders... unless there's a squirrel of course... or a rodent of some sort... or a cat... One of my Weigelas just had an out of season 'haircut' because he had tried to use it as a ladder to get to a squirrel in the Beech tree next to it... when these things happen, I swear I will be getting a Chihuahua next time!
