The front of the yards are "open" so she can come down the side of the fence to mow.
This really wouldn't be a big issue except that I had always wanted the "flowers against the fence" type of garden and then when I finally get the money to have it done, this happens!!
I hate losing plants....I know they are "just plants" but when you nurse them along and baby them and get them to grow, bloom, and be pretty and they die....it's like losing a friend.....
