saw a blurb in LM Boyd (the factoid column) recently that said
sprinkling coffee grounds in flower beds will keep dogs and cats out.
Anyone tried this? I'm curious if it really works.

Don't know about pets but earth worms love it. Try pecan shells. They have
sharp edges. Animal paws don't like this. Then sprinkle on small amount of
red pepper. one sniff of that gets em too. If these things don't work, try a
"fido shock". I've got one, they're not too expensive and work even on the
hard headed-est muts on earth. There's no dog pee on my tomatoe plants any
more! Electricity follows urine stream quite well. Dog never wants to pee
there again!

I would be interested to know what would help, too. Just got a new "westie"
puppy from my son for Xmas. Need help to curb that digging trait. Thanks!
