As promised in yesterday’s post, today is dedicated to the pets we’ve met in gardens across the country. We can’t help but snap a few photos of them when we’re on photo shoots. After all, they can usually be found following us around as we move about with our tripods. The cats lounge languorously, daring you NOT to partake of their lovliness, while the dogs are just happy to have someone new to scratch behind their ears. Enjoy!

Send in pics of your pet in the garden! We’d love to feature another selection in a future post.

I love this series. There is nothing like a furry garden companion. For some reason, I think cats especially get it; after all, they seem to thoroughly and peacefully enjoy their surroundings in Zen-like serenity, and yet still take care of critters who damage plants, all in between napping. Thanks for these posts, Michelle, and thank you to everyone who commented yesterday on Hunter's story. It meant a lot. Lynn
I have to agree, I make my paths in my garden for my two companions, Tiger and Chloe, as well as for me. Chasing lizards and leaping at butterflies is just another part of their day while I dig and plant and weed.
Cori insists on being with me while I'm in my gardens. If she gets left inside, she reminds me, not so quietly, that I've made a terrible mistake! Now, if only she could deadhead...
Thanks for keeping Daisy's memory alive, Michelle! I'm so glad you had the chance to know her sweet little spirit. Now you need to meet Buddy, my new garden helper that'll be joining our family this Thursday! I didn't think I would be ready for another dog so soon, but gardening just isn't the same without a little furry companion by my side!
michelle, you should be wicked proud of that shot of darla and dean ; a real Life magazine cover shot if ever I saw one.
dean, what are the bright spring green 'cones' out there?
What a lovely spot.
best,
mindy
