I don't get it. Now you seem to be claiming that you shouldn't be faulted in any way since this all happened when your dogs were left in the backyard while you were at work. Yet in your first post you described the "fun game" Gus plays attacking the lawn co. sprayer similar to the way he does a hose pipe, as if you witnessed him turning into a "neon yellow highlighter" yourself. Which is it? Either way, it should have NEVER happened. Shelby Turf & Shrub was at fault for doing it the first time whether you were at home or not...and should be held responsible. But please tell me how you can possibly not feel guilty and not consider yourself at fault for allowing it to continue numerous times ("everytime he comes out")? I'm sorry if you're feeling "flamed", but whether intentional or not I don't much care for the somewhat whimsical way (with a smiley face, even?) in which you told of your poor dog being repeatedly exposed to potentially harmfull lawn chemicals. Believe it or not, I'm a pretty easy going guy but I really don't care if this a gardening forum or a pet owner's forum, I can't stand hearing about animal abuse WHEREVER it rears its ugly head. Would you have allowed a child to be sprayed down? Or is it ok as long as it's just a dog that can be put down before you have to incur expensive vet bills? Give me a break!

Hang in there! Now that you have your photos on photobucket, you're almost there. You can copy/paste the line after the words "html code" right below your photo to insert a full size picture in a post, or if you want to post a clickable thumnail, check the boxes you want, scroll down close to the bottom and click on "generate html and img code", click once on the code in the first box to highlight it, then do a copy/paste. In case someone doesn't know how to copy and paste: Highlight the text by clicking on it, use control c to copy it, then go back to your gardenweb message and use control v to insert it wherever you want it. If I left anything out or if something doesn't make sense, just ask.

Good luck i think you should try the arctictropical method of protecting them with foam boxes with light bulbs. He is also in Utah.

This was a perfect time for your bench post to resurface. After I read it originally, I went to Toscano's website and saw this chest and ordered it for my foyer or dining room if it doesn't look good in the foyer. The other pic is of the craigslist coffee table that picked up last week which will go in the living room right off the entry. It's got a black marble top, hardwood and was on the same sale that you orderd from. Most of their other chests were too ornate for me. Just got a postcard from them saying that because of high demand, it will take longer for them to ship than originally thought. I can either opt out of the order or wait a bit longer. Sooo, any thoughts yea or nay? I got it for $350+ $50 shipping(I think, I'm still out of town and don't have myrecords).
