Beautiful Accommodations
This is kind of a "finale" to the week's stories even though they were told out of order. Sequentially we went Friday night to Lowe's, Saturday morning to Doris Leeper Park where we wore Henry out and then Saturday afternoon, as Henry napped, we did yard work. Here are some of the fruits of our labor.
Henry's routine includes going in and out of the front door quite regularly. Somehow, however, he often still tries to go in the closed garage door. And then in turning himself around he would often get stuck in the space between the garage door and the where the little fenced in Agave plant is. So, we figured an attractive (ish) way to block this space to re-route him away from that space. Flower boxes! Functional and pretty!
Another area that Henry has had struggles is the left side of the entry way--just to the right of the Agave. He has a tendency to get stuck on those littler spaces like door frames and side lights. So, we added a few potted plants there, too. Not only functional but we now have more curb appeal! LOL! So far the planters have helped Henry "steer" closer to the front door. These are just some of the accommodations we have done to fine tune his navigation. It's not a 5 Star Hotel, as the title may lead one to believe, but we think these accommodations are beautiful.

smart idea and of course beautiful flowers
Henry looks so proud of his parents yard work to keep him safe. What a beautiful solution too! It sounds like you found the perfect park for Heny!
Very pretty! We have a few of the colorful chairs, too! Henry looks very serene and happy!
What a creative and lovely solution! I love the way you always can figure out a way to prove things for Henry the Wonderpug!
Your solution is beautiful and Henry will be kept safe by it.

It’s so nice to see flowers and greenery as we are Waaaayyyy up north are still covered in several feet of snow.
Nice work! Go Henry!
Henry sitting side-saddle among the flowers! Too cute!!!
You can see (and smell) the love and care it took to make the yard work for Henry.
Is that a blue bone decoration in the flowers behind him in the first picture? How cheerful it all looks!
Beautiful and functional…so it’s a WIN WIN! Plus Henry looks so cute sitting by the flowers;)
Sandra: Yes, what a keen eye you have! It is a blue bone. It says “Dog On Premises”—-It’s both a “warning” to home invaders and a cry to firefighters (perish the thought of either coming to the home). But we have not found an ideal way yet to hang it.
Kelly & Pug Crew: So sorry for your snowiness. We cannot say that we miss that white stuff.
looks like a Henry approved job well done! Flowers are so pretty-still too cool in Colorado for planting,though. Pug hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado 2
Haha, I saw the blue bone sign and thought “Why do they have blue Mickey Mouse ears in a planter?” Love the flowers—esp. the blue pots mixed in with the terra cotta colored ones. Brilliant and beautiful solution to Henry’s dilemma. “Rock on, OBP!”
