YAY!! Congratulations to her!!

Lost any quotes I may have had.
The bud you posted is indeed a magnolia.

*squeals* HIYO!!
don't worry about the quotes...I do that all the time. Sid's is out in lala land somewhere just this morning.

I love magnolias. Our dogs ate ours. It was only about 5ft tall and just a nice looking young tree...

Thank you everyone for the congratulations. Dan, I am very happy to say that to my knowledge she never applied to the school you spoke of.

Was it a case of "Attack of the Springer Spaniel and his 5ft long tongue" which devoured the tree in one swoop?

sort of. He pretty much dug it up (over and over and ate the roots). I am very thankful it wasn't poisonous (or that he didn't ingest it, which I doubt). There was just something about that tree that we could not stop him from digging or eating. I loved it. Someday I'm going to buy another one and put it in the front yard. The back yard has no flowers, no trees and no grass anymore. Just dogs, flagstone & a barkdust/mud (from all the rain) mixture

That's why I created my 'dog-free zone' out back with the fence and gate. Where I can have my honeysuckle, grapevines, flowers, etc.

I had such grand Ideas for that area.
Now it just kind of sits vacant because I dont have time to care for it.

Although, my honeysuckle and grapevines come back every year, whether I tend to them or not.

Our backyard was so pretty when we first had it landscaped. Now it's just .... doggie.

Oh, and *waves* Hullo everyone.

lol. Yeah, you're yard is much larger than ours. If I had a "dog free zone" it'd be 2x2 (ft)

I know. I can totally relate. I try so hard to stay on top of the house/yard etc. But the dogs manage (no matter how many thousands of times I wipe their muddy feet before they come in the house) to get things dirty. Or dig holes or...or...I had to give up on the back yard. I'm not giving up on the inside but I was washing down the outside of the house all the time (because they jump on it and get it muddy). It never lasted more than one trip for the dogs to be outside again. I just had to let it go. I don't know how people do it. Keep nice yards and dogs. I really don't.

Hi Cat

The people who have 'nice' yards and spotless houses are those people who don't let their dogs be dogs.

I could keep my house clean... and my yard manicured. BUT if I did, I'd be spending so much time cleaning and keeping dogs away, that I'd never have any time to play with the dogs. They would be miserable. Which, in turn, would make them destructive and messy. It's a crazy circle.

Hola Harmeet.

you could be wrong...they could let their dogs be dogs....in the neighbour's garden
