The 1.5 Pound Gardener

by Meg on May 15, 2007

1.5 pound rough and tough
Gardeningk Pup,
Put some dirt down,
She’ll dig it right up

Dirteh

Got an empty pot?
She’ll drag it over here
Waving her ‘tocks,
Tail, and pinktastic ears

C'mon back

Allison P., I think you have a good show title for a TLC series.

2 Hannahbear 05.15.07 at 6:37 pm

Perhaps if I had a helper like this pup, I would actually accomplish some gardening…

3 Francesca 05.15.07 at 6:37 pm

OMG! That little creature is beyond cute! Is she some type of terrier? I wonder what breed?

4 Annie 05.15.07 at 6:43 pm

Awwwww. She is so cute. I love the potting soil in her hair. She is all this Planter is ready for the plants in the first picture and here you go Mom here is a new pot for that plant you just dug up in the second photo.

15 luvinmalssomuch 05.15.07 at 7:20 pm

Can I borrow the cute pup for oh maybe just a day. Wonder if she picks weeds also.

Jaypo beat me to it…. “Mom. look!! I’m helping! See??” *BEEG puppy smile*

18 Theo 05.15.07 at 7:30 pm

I’m totally not a dog person. I especially avoid little toy terriers. (No, no, a thousand times NO.) (…no.) But this right here is one FANTASTIC post. Look how proud that pup is! And I like how the only un-blurry thing in the second pic is the planter itself, like Mister Topsoil Muzzle is spinning the whole world around it.

19 jaypo 05.15.07 at 7:35 pm

She’s a LOLpup:

I CANZ BURY DURT!!

20 liz 05.15.07 at 7:39 pm

who asked what kind of pup this is?
i think its a westhighland white terrier. what an attitude! she knows she did something REALLY smart!

21 Mary 05.15.07 at 7:54 pm

I would like a puppy like that to help in my gardening. TOO cute.

22 cutebabyfix.com 05.15.07 at 7:54 pm

She’s hired. My yard is a total mess right now. Does she mow lawns too? I’ll let her drive the tractor.

23 Dawn 05.15.07 at 7:55 pm

awwwwwwwwwwwww. sweet maltese! just like mine, always want to help :)

24 SarahR 05.15.07 at 8:01 pm

Pinktastic ears and dirtastic nose, YEA!

25 boanderey 05.15.07 at 8:05 pm

“Thats what u wanted, right mom? You wanted allll the dirt out.” My Charlie “helped” like that, digging the hole out for me! And then he’d dig up and take care of the plants I’d foolishly left behind in teh holes. Of course he was a terrier.

26 Suzanne 05.15.07 at 8:16 pm

The ears are too long for a Westie…the tail isn’t quite right either…but she IS adorable.

27 liz 05.15.07 at 8:16 pm

is it a maltese or a westie?
Sender-Inner Alison P. can you enlighten us???

28 Judy B 05.15.07 at 8:27 pm

Want that puppy!!!

29 HeidStar 05.15.07 at 8:27 pm

GardenPup™. Funny, I haven’t seen these in stock at local gardening stores.

30 Christine H 05.15.07 at 8:33 pm

Teeny fluffy puppy! AWWW!

31 DKN 05.15.07 at 8:42 pm

My vote is on maltese.

32 DejaMew 05.15.07 at 8:58 pm

She’s obviously a West Highland Dirt Terrier. (gigglesnort)

33 pat_the_bunny 05.15.07 at 9:13 pm

How adora-pupple!!!

34 soxfan 05.15.07 at 9:18 pm

I think she looks most like a maltese, which is good news for Theo, since that means she’s not a terrier. You can get yerself one of dese babehs! They’re actually in the spaniel family, aren’t they? Anybody know?

35 little miao 05.15.07 at 10:54 pm

Such a dainty little thing, but she’s not afraid of hard work. How admirable!

36 Dale 05.15.07 at 11:05 pm

Clearly she is planting dogwoods. (And I think it´s a Maltese. Westies are more into interrier design.)

37 Shannon Johnson 05.15.07 at 11:21 pm

Cuteness Alert! She is the cutest pup ever, ok maybe the second cutest pup ever.

38 Steph 05.15.07 at 11:24 pm

I think I just got diabetes from the sweetness of this little pup. SO CUTE.

39 Theo 05.15.07 at 11:50 pm

[can't decide whether to give Dale a gold star or a smack upside ya head]

Another one bites the pun.
;)

40 Bella's mom 05.15.07 at 11:53 pm

OMG, this looks just like our Bella last summer! Now she’s bigger and can dig up a lot more, haha!

46 Beauregard 05.16.07 at 12:18 am

OH
MY
GOD
Someone revive me because that it the cutest puppy EVER on CO. I’m not exaggerating!

47 Dale 05.16.07 at 1:38 am

Thanks, Theo, either way. [ducks. sparkles]

If someone gets that dog some gardening tools we could start a category of bitches and hoes.

48 Sally 05.16.07 at 1:54 am

Ohhh……i want a maltese so badly >_< cute pics =D

49 Annie 05.16.07 at 2:23 am

Dale You are on a roll today.

50 R. Moore 05.16.07 at 2:31 am

Archives? Are the archives new?

51 useta hada kitteh 05.16.07 at 4:41 am

R. Moore — by definition, how can archives be *new*?? (just had to ask that). But yeah, I don’t remember ever seeing all that long list of dates (I’ve never seen a long list of dates before in my whole entire life, but that’s just cuz I need to get a life.) ;)

As for Puppy McGardensons, he is teh funny. and cute. no matter what kinda puppers he is. or she.

52 Subhangi 05.16.07 at 4:42 am

Awwwwww! Love the pic of the pup dragging the bucket!

*sigh*

I wants a cat AND a dog right now.

53 Allison P 05.16.07 at 4:53 am

It’s my puppy!! I’m so excited that this made it up. This is Miss Peepers, who is actually none of the breeds that have been mentioned so far – she’s a Havanese, eleven weeks old! I am SO glad you’re all enjoying her as much as we are!!

54 Claire 05.16.07 at 1:09 pm

What a good helper! Havenese are smart little pups!

55 tesse 05.16.07 at 1:38 pm

if i was a gardner,
i’d garden in the morning, i’d garden in the evening, all over this town….

56 JH 05.16.07 at 2:21 pm

Oh wow. Been there, done that. It’s always cute when another person’s dog does that!

57 Theo 05.16.07 at 2:34 pm

Dale — Dale, Dale, Dale… (LOL) …OK, I expect a pun forthwith using “Havanese”.

R. Moore — newly redesigned, anyway. Week-at-a-time.

Useta — I love how you recognize the daily absurdities of life. Are you a Jon Stewart fan? ;)

58 Dale 05.16.07 at 2:46 pm

[stretches. rises to the occasion]

Havanese day, Theo!

59 Theo 05.16.07 at 4:00 pm

wow, you’re good.

60 Katy 05.16.07 at 4:53 pm

Made me LOL cause my 4 month, 75lb Newfy puppy has just spent the day doing the exact same thing! Bet my garden’s muddier!

61 Mary peeps cousin 05.16.07 at 10:11 pm

oh peep you are soooooo cute! i love you peepers!

62 TwinklyTerrapin 05.17.07 at 5:48 pm

~All~ pups are terriers when they find some fresh clean dirt to dig in…
My Lowchen (second cousin to the Havanese) dug holes big enough to trap unwary children when he was a pup…the look on the kids’ faces was pretty funny…

63 Teresa :o) 05.17.07 at 6:02 pm

What a cute little helper!!!! :)

64 furbabies 05.18.07 at 4:29 pm

Gardeningk Pup, are you going to be opening an office in the Charlotte area? If so, you are hired. Muddy puppy = insanely cute.

65 Lynne 05.19.07 at 2:17 am

OMG!!! HOW CUTE IS THAT….DOES IT HAVE A SISTER?!?! ;)

66 Linda 05.25.07 at 2:42 am

I suspect the doggie is a mix, maybe westie and Tibetan somethingorother. A purebred westie wouldn’t have a curled tail.
