Unfortunately, my mini pond dried up this afternoon after a beautifully sunny but crisp day, but I suspect that it may serve as a watering trough like I intended once the rains start coming more regularly! If anything, it will serve as an occasional wildlife habitat as I plan to put in some plant species that like soggy, mucky conditions like that. :)mitsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17672061234210054304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4645169867785862514.post-55852087102069904722012-09-19T05:47:54.544-04:002012-09-19T05:47:54.544-04:00I love your dog!

We've been talking about making a pond "in a few years" and we have been joking about having the dog dig it. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
