It's a Dog Eat Plant World

We've previously discussed my affinity for gardening. Both Mum and Dad are doing their best to keep me from tearing up the sod in the backyard. However, in an effort to feed the horticulturist in me, I have found another outlet ... houseplants.

As any good gardener knows, drainage is important. In order to facilitate drainage of the potted plants, Mom adds a few styrofoam packing peanuts to the dirt. Over time, these peanuts will float to the top of the potting soil and an ever-vigilant Scottie can liberate them from their planters.

I think it's important to help the packing peanuts make their escape. Problem is ... the trail of potting soil gives me away *everytime*.
