BIG NOSE

Requires a quick little cuddle every half hour and often does not get out of bed until he is good and ready. Never hesitates to sit EXACTLY where you are trying to work but otherwise A VERY GOOD BOY!

THIS NONSENSE

She’s fast, incredibly fast. She’s a dab paw at nicking things. So much so I have just bought a gardening apron to circumvent her efforts. She likes a cuddle, but also likes jumping over things and sitting on overwintering lavender so it messes with the shape I’ve cut it to. She is quite the best little girl there is.

WELL SAID

Gardening is surely an ideal profession for the woman who likes it. The work is not so heavy as to put too great a strain on her physical capacity; and in the more expert branches the possibilities and range of interest is really unlimited
