A Bush Laying Out for the Garbage Man

Tweet

Years back, I was driving back home, headed down Newman Street. I past my friend Judy's house and there was an uprooted bush laying beside the road. It was next to a garbage can, intended for the garbage man. Instead of passing it by, I stopped and threw it in my trunk. Judy wasn't home, for me to ask permission before taking this bush. I transplanted this 1/2 dead bush in Kobe's back yard, beside to the front fence. Oh boy, did I ever get a reaction out of my dog! Kobe was NOT happy about this darn bush, taking up space in his back yard! Before the day was over, Kobe had uprooted that bush and torn almost every remaining leaf, shoot and branch off it! I had to rescue the poor thing, from sudden death! I was shocked, not realizing that a bush could possibly be an offensive item, to a spoiled black-Labrador, Kobe was not happy, to put it mildly! I threw the feeble looking bush over the fence, out of Kobe's reach. I transplanted it beside the garbage can, which Kobe had terrorized also, at one point in time. The garbage can was no longer sitting on Kobe's side of the fence! I tried to nurse that bush back to health, but it never survived that major, canine attack. Jay finally threw it away, after two years of trying to restore its beauty. Photo: No,, this is not the same bush, it's a different one.
