Doggy topiaries aren't your everyday garden fare. But here you are.
This is a new competitive class at the flower show this year. It's fun. It has a fire hydrant in the middle of the display of entries, which include ivy-filled doggies on their backs, pointing, chewing bones and doing most - I said most, not all - doggy things.
Some doggies have more "hair" than others. A couple look positively threadbare. But the humans are enjoying the view. This photo shows a dog of indeterminate lineage. He'd qualify for the threadbare category, but you know how pooches can be. Maybe he scratched his ivy off.
