I had ONE bale left last season that I as going to use as mulch. I kept it in the greenhouse to keep it out of the weather. The puppies decided to, ‘raid the greenhouse’ and they tore it all apart and spread it all over the greenhouse floor and napped on it on cooler days as we headed into Fall.
The photo of bales lining the inside of the greenhouse made me think of that.
And if I were a puppy? I’d do the exact same thing! :)

I had a horse named Henry .... sweetest guy. For stall bedding I would get loads of wood chips/shavings from a local logging mill. For whatever reason, I switched to straw for a while. Henry would be in a clean stall, fluffy straw up to his knees when I said ‘good night’. The next morning, the only straw in Henry’s stall was a spot of wet & poopy straw in the middle of his stall - the rest was gone ... he’d eaten it! Straw is not that appealing - most horses won’t eat it. He had hay & grain (which was gone) so maybe the straw was dessert! After a couple of mornings, finding him with no clean straw, he got changed back to shavings & only the brood mare got straw.
