As the neighbours' kids were out playing in the front garden, I took Fred and Stan out on the back terrace garden to enjoy a chew and the sun without being disturbed. Once their chews were consumed Stan wanted to come in. Fred decided he'd stay put on his blanket and make the most of the sunshine 8) ....(these photos may look alarming, but Fred doesn't try and leap or jump anything and knows the way down the steps....):

He is a smart fellow. I bet that is the warmest sunniest spot in the garden.

Your garden is lovely. It must be fantastic to have dogs that do not either eat, flatten or generally destroy so much hard work. :wub: :wub:

What a lovely garden terracing made lovelier with a sunning whippie. ) Re Eve's comment, last year we turfed a 10 foot square patch of lawn under an old apple tree and in the gorgeous weather in the last fortnight Tilly has managed to dig so many deep holes that we have going to have to re-turf the lot. :- Wish I could start a post with 'garden dog damage' but photobucket still won't accept my photos. :rant:

Thank you. The key to non-destructive whippets is in Gllian's post, Eve....... 'elderly' :-

It's funny you should ask. We don't, but in theory our neighbours do have the right of access to come and use our garden and we have the right of access to theirs. As our solicitor put it, if a neighbours wants to come and hang their washing out on our patch they are perfectly within their rights to do so. It's all communal access in the deeds, but in practice we don't treat it as such. It's the same with the front gardens. In fact the kids along our terrace all run up and down across our path. I've got used to it now...I don't mind at all really. Next door's dog, Aster, comes to play with our two and we all get to say hello..it's all very sociable. In fact I've just come back in from a birthday celebration next door..all of 3 steps along the ginnell :teehee:
