Good thinking, Allison. Everyone always comments on how short basset hounds are. They've never seen one stand on their back legs and stretch to reach what is sitting on the kitchen counter that they smell. We once lost an entire meatloaf (truly just out of the oven and turned onto a plate) to a basset we were fostering--and it was pushed back off of the edge of the counter!
Do you really plant a tomato plant for them? Too cool!
Gee, Barbara--you can't hog ALL of the good weather.
