I'd rather play!

Henry, it's too hot to play! So be a good boy for Mum and go and settle down in your bed, lol
PS. Garden looks gorgeous Spritz :)

~how can you resist him!Your new bed is looking great!

Hello Henry, if you keep looking with those big brown eyes like that, you will get anything you want :) Is that Your new border Spritz? It looks Fantastic and its really filling out... Beautifull...

Yes, it is - and thanks!

It really was too hot for Henry to be running about, let alone me! We were forecast rain for today, but we only got a few spots. :-(

Bless him he looks so patient,I have to force Malik into the shade the heat just doesn,t bother him but Morgan hates it at the moment and he will lay down in a shady spot.New bed is looking good Spritz.........

Beautiful garden and an equally beautiful Henry too.

Oh bless him, what a gorgeous face and so good to sit like that. Chloe has a spring in the rear end, it touches the ground and she up again! Gorgeous Henry in a gorgeous garden. Great blog.

awww poor henry, he`s so addorable,, i would play henry if i lived closer, auntie sandra loves you lol

Garden looks brill and so does Henry, Hope you get some rain soon but not the storms others have suffered. If you do will you send it my way. :~))

Gorgeous garden & 4 footed friend. Lovely kind eyes. We R also verrrrryyyydry here on the west coast of BC. so happy my watering system is in, but still have to hand water.

henry is adorable, love the garden too

Irrisistable! Come on Spritz - throw his ball! He'll soon get hot and tired and will settle in the shade and you can pick up your coffee and newspaper again.

Poor Henry. I hope you did throw a ball for him in the end. He's been very patient with you and deserves a reward :o)

Naughty mummy, won't play ball :((( (lol !!!)

Perhaps he'd like to play ball with us next Tuesday Spritz, amongst the plants etc, that'd get us barred for life !!! LOL
Heck, can't afford for that to happen :))))

Spritz and i are meeting up at our local garden centre next Tuesday ......
...... Ian Digs ...... can you come too and bring that wallet along please ?

SP, all you did was take a few pictures, then you were tired, ah dear, look at that face, how can you resist .... throw the ball..... xxx

AAAAaaawwwwwwwwwwww Is Mummy being cruel 2 u Henry ? How can u resist those Lovely Brown eyes ? Hes saying Muuuuuuuuuuummmy Now Plezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :) lol ,BTW the new border looks fab :)X

What a fine fellow Henry is. Our cat makes a hasty exit when she spots the lawnmower. The new bed looks fantastic.

It's coming on, isn't it? I'm pleased with it. :-)

Henry runs away from the mower - he used to bark at it!

He has been indoors most of the time in the hot weather - his choice! I don't think it's good for him to dash about in the heat, so no ball until it cools down! He gets his walk before breakfast when it's cooler.

Still only a sprinking of rain since we had that storm last week.

I think Henry might not be able to take his eyes off that lovely new flower bed and just wants to sit and admire it. I would, but then I'm not a dog!

Poor Henry - just look at that adorable face! But you're quite right not to let him run about in this heat. Heard of a couple of cases of dogs with severe heatstroke in my area this week and they had only been walking in the park. My Huxley has just been loving lying in front of the fan this week - but he is getting on a bit, so any excuse for a wee snooze!

lots of rain here today spritz, just come sunny now

The new bed looks great - already starting to fill out.

I put a pot of lilies in, and the pot keeps falling over! The pot's too big to sink into the ground. I've weighted it down with stones now.

AAAhhhh poor Henry.... i think he makes a lovely new bed model.... the new bed is stunning btw Spritz... no really i love it..... lovely curvey edges, great colour combos 11/10
:-)

Thanks, Angie. I've been adding things! I had a pot of Feverfew and I've put that in, plus the Coreopsis that have been growing on from plugs - 'Jive' and 'Limbo'.

sounds lovely Spritz. :-)

What a lovely garden....love the way that border curves.....hope Henry is a good "garden" pooch....he certainly is a cutie....and likes the camera too...

His worst habit is pinching stones that I dig up and running off with them! The he barks because he wants me to throw the stones for him to retrieve. Well - he is a retriever, after all! lol.

Thanks for commenting on the curves - Husband and I spent ages laying the sticks out to get them right! They had to 'match' other curves near them. Maybe I'm too fussy, but I wanted it to look pleasing from all angles.

As a labrador fan, I love Henry - they are such lovely natured dogs arent they. I hope he appreciates his beautiful garden?
Spritz: Is your obelisk a Gardman one?

No, I got it from 'Ferndale Lodge' - their catalogue. It arrived very quickly!

Thanks Spritz, I'll take a look :-)

Sorry - I should have said - Henry is a lucky dog, and I know he does like the garden. If we go to our daughter's, as soon as he gets home, he dashes all round the whole garden to make sure it's still here! He also does a routine tour every morning after breakfast. Then he sits in the middle of the path and surveys the landscape!

Good to know that Henry checks his territory out on a regular basis, Bonnie isnt a dog that barks alot but if something is out of the ordinary, she sure let's us know.
I've visited the Ferndale Lodge site and found the obelisk, thank you.

Good. Not a bad price, are they?

By the way, is that you on your new pic??

The obelisk looks great, thanks, may have to get one.

Yes Spritz, that is me, thought it was time for a change :-)

It's a good picture, Dawn - I had to have a passport photo taken today - it's horrible... :/Z (That's meant to be a sort of pained scowl!)

Thanks Sprtiz - I hate passport photos, I'm never ready for the flash and want to laugh but not allowed to, lol.

Ah, it was in a shop - as advised by the Post Office girl! and it was all digital, so no flashes! My photo looks AWFUL!!! Talk about doom and gloom! No smiling allowed. :-(

I'm not up with all this new technology. Sorry to remind you but you'll have to look at that now for the next 10 years. ha ha.
Your new bed looks good by the way - what did you set to climb the obelisk, was it clematis? thanks

Gee, thanks, friend!
Hehe - it's not me that has to look at it, it's the customs man and the airline check-in! Poor things.

On the obelisk are: 1. Climbing rose 'Lady Hillingdon' 2. Clematis 'Guernsey Cream' and 3. Clematis viticella 'Alba Luxurians'. The C.vit. has lots of buds! The rose had one flower, and there are buds coming, too.

Ha ha Spritz: Yes, quickly close the passport and put it away until next time.
Thanks for the info on the obelisk plants - may have to copy you if that's OK??

Of course it is! Just remember that 'Guernsey Cream is a group 2 Clematis and only needs a light prune in the spring, while the C. vit is a group 3 and has to be cut hard back.

You are kind, thank you so much and for the advice too :-)

You're welcome Dawn. :-)

ah bless him.
