When Emma thinks I am not looking she will go around and sniff the flowers in the pots to see what they are all about. Although she stripped my Cone Flowers a little bit one year - she is really good about not digging up my flowers or eating the plants. I do spend a bit of time on the ASPCA web Site looking at their lists of Dog Safe plants. (Also good for bunnies, cats, horses......) I got rid of my chives and rhubarb after reading how toxic they were.
It's another hot week here in Minnesota, so there is much watering of the plants after the sun dips down everyday. I just plug in my headphones, throw a ball or two for Emma who often walks around with me - staying well out of range of the hose, (Our girl is not a fan of the hose!) and go from garden to garden. It's nice to see what's changed - what's popped up or what is struggling. Plans to transplant or split a plant often happen while I am watering. I will also recite the names of the plants (if I can remember them!) so that I don't forget what they are called. A nice summer ritual.

@All4MeggyMoo We could probably use a little rain here - Maybe we could swap weather for a day or two? :)
Aw lovely Emma :-) My two cats love the flowers too but we've had so much rain they haven't got out to see many yet!
Your ritual sounds lovely :-)
love Lori xx
@Hippywitch She loves hanging out in the yard and running after squirrels and crows. :) Sorry you have had so much rain. We have been pretty dry here and I have been having to water water water. My tomato plants are burning up!
Have a wonderful weekend Lori!
