Buddy, the garden helper

My garden is fenced in so the dogs do not trample upon or pee on it. However, I allowed my 2 month old foster puppy, Buddy, to keep me company when I got him because I figured his light weight couldn't do much damage. Fast forward 3 months and Buddy, aka Sgt TJ "Woodchuck" Chopper is now 5 months old and weighs a bit more, 35 lbs at last weighing a couple weeks ago. He is quite leggy now, as is my rainbow chard.

He kind of knows the ok places to walk and not, but still has his puppy moments. However, there have been a few recent times I have accepted his help digging when I turn in an area for a new planting or sowing. Maybe I can teach him to sniff out and destroy weeds while he's still here. ;-)
