More C.O. Gardening Tips!

When planting dogwood, it’s very important to find a planter box that’s the right size for the dogwood you have in mind, and a dog who’ll submit to being planted.  Most dogs won’t, but … (chuckle, titter) … this dog would. (pffft, chortle, tee-hee)

    Dog Would? Groan.

  2. T.U.M. says:

    NOMTOM, you’re getting a rolled-up newspaper across the nose for that pun!

  3. metsakins says:

    That dog thinks he’s a cat.

  4. Ceolmhor says:

    Yeah, but we all laughed…admeet eet!

    Puppers looks comfy, though.

  5. cheryl says:

    oh no, now the need for boxhab has gone to the dogs.

  6. fish eye no miko says:

    @cheryl: That was my first thought, too! What next, hedgies and hamsters in boxhab, as well?
    [shakes head]

  7. Courtney says:

    I know they say to let sleeping dogs lie… but I couldn’t let that belly go without a good rub!

  8. eikoleigh says:

    LOL, I would expect a cat to do this, but the unexpectedness of a dog – a BIG dog at that! – is hiliarous.

    Simply adorable.

  9. (the original) Mel says:

    I love your horrible puns, NTMTOM. There is just a special place in my heart for awful puns.

  10. warrior rabbit says:

    Courtney, what belly? You’d have to dig up the dogwood (or is it boxwood, now?) to see it, much less get to it.

    Yes, the original Mel, it’s in your ohhhhhricle. For others less pun-appreciative, it’s the part the ohhhhhricle is attached to — the hatrium.

    Not That Wood The Other Would

  12. T.U.M. says:

    It’s the dogwood bark that gets you.

  13. Decca says:

    Finally, a plant that creates its own fertilizer!

  14. smo says:

    dogs are brilliant, its as simple as that. and this one rules supreme for the day. i want to go take a nap in a planter now, too.

  15. darkshines says:

    S/he looks so chubby and happy :)

  16. 260Oakley says:

    I love it when the dogloaf rises above the pan and gets all golden brown on top.

  17. mberkie0 says:

    Oh, tee-hee yourself, NTMTOM! *snerk-snerk*
    (This pun would have made my Dad laugh! He loved puns — good, bad, indifferent!)

  18. kbo says:

    VERY nice touch to have the matching gravel.

  19. Nicolletta says:

    How come puppies never grow in my planters?

  20. MaggieBee says:

    OMG did anyone see the lil tailio nubbin?!?!??

    *squeeeee!*

  21. Erebella says:

    LOL @ Decca!!!!
    I can’t imagine why that dog’s in there – it doesn’t look very comfortable.

  22. Jana says:

    He’s like “Won’t let me sleep in the house? I’ll show you!”

  23. DaytimeDeb says:

    Doggone it, the plant has outgrown the planter again. Now I have to dig it up and divide it.

    Ooh… that means two dogwoods? Yay!

  24. DaytimeDeb says:

    Or, I could just plant this dogwood in a larger planter, and use this one for something else.

    Willow you mind if I plant some pussy willow instead?

  25. scooterpants says:

  29. snorglepup says:

    They go dormant if you leave them in the garden all winter.
    If you’re lucky they will bloom indoors…
    Or at least bark!!

  30. Theo says:

    Mike. Dude. You misspelled “gardering”.

    ;)

  31. Theo says:

    …d’OH! Meg fixed the other one!

  32. cachorro says:

    A cool spot for a nap on a hot day?

  33. foxy says:

    Hah, Teho! And again I say hah!
    I really need real words to be spelled correctly, hence my extreme dislike for LOL-speak. (Also I read this about 20 times to make sure nothing was misspelled)

    The bread’s riz! Time to put it in the oven!

  35. AuntieMame says:

    (And LOL at the t-shirt, Teho! Lolspeak used to be funny, when people followed the rules, but randomly misspelling stuff isn’t true lolspeak.)

  36. Hon Glad says:

    Ahm jist protecting mah bone.

  37. Emma says:

  41. starling says:

    They put the print on that t-shirt slightly too high …

  42. Theo says:

    That’s because it sits on the ruins of three sunken castles, Starling.
