Stella Helps in the Garden

Stella quite effectively ignoring Rem's pleas to 

"Please get OUT of the garden!"

My eldest daughter, Remy decided to plant some pepper plants in among my tomato plants. Stella, who is curious about everything helped by lying down only after getting as close to Rem as she possibly could, and then moving whenever Rem moved to another section of the garden so the closeness could continue. Remy decided it was time for a fence to ward off Miss Stella's insatiable curiousity, so off she went to the hardware store.  She returned and began installing the fence. Notice Stella decided to lie down exactly where the next part of the fence was supposed to go. And she had no desire to move.  Each time Rem crawled under the bush to haul Stella out by her collar, she was thoroughly licked to the point she was laughing so hard she couldn't do anything, let alone drag Stella out of the garden. Needless to say, she was fighting a losing battle. A little later in the day, after Remy had finally been able to install all of the very short and flimsy fencing, she caught Stella carefully stepping over that puny fence into the garden, headed for her shady spot. Remy yelled at her and told her she was very naughty! Stella guiltily (and quite easily) jumped back over the fence. Only two pepper plants were trampled beyond recognition in the process. I wonder if we can get our money back...for the fence, not the pepper plants.
