Debra, that's one of my daughter's dog, Kona. They lived with us the first two years until they could get back on their feet and get a place of their own. Once I started planting, we had to fence them off as she was a great big digger after the gophers. She did more damage than they did.
Leslie, it looks bigger than 1/2 acre as the tree line in the background, a stand of redwoods, is on the other side of our fence in the green belt, so it seems to actually extend the garden. Bonus!
