When you own twelve large breed dogs you must have spacious paths for them to run. Of course I learned this the hard way. Having lost my share of Ostrich ferns, Hosta Lillies, and Coneflowers, I now make way for large open areas between gardens.
Oh, I still lose the occasional plant, most usually to the Old English Sheepdogs but that is to be expected. I lose just as many plants to my teenage boys chasing golf balls.
