I’ve been questioned many times over the years about preventing pet damage in the garden. My answers have often been of a secondhand nature since I have been fortunate to adopt older, low-energy dogs. For example, Gracie, my 12-year-old setter, will make trips to every corner of the garden in a graceful fashion, making sure she never steps on even the smallest plants. But that all changed recently when Darby, an 8-week-old Border collie, was added to the equation.
