Outwit the mutt (meant nicely)
Run the drip lines along the fence 'way up off the ground, then set a device of your own invention there (maybe just a little valve) to squirt a stream of water through the air to the plant you want to water. Have lots of mulch and maybe some flat stones to let the water go down and stay down at the plant's roots.
I'm toying with mounting an oscillating sprinkler up on a fence to water a large area without the bother of the underground pipes needing really strenuous work every spring.

Dillinger, Kelli, is a 9 month old mostly pit bull mix and he needs
'outlets' for his pent up energy. He is an angel, but very destructive of property. Rugs, clothing, shoes, garden things, and the drip irrigation system, gone.
Chihuahuas might be easier for me to handle and endure.....thanks for reading and commenting.

I have 3 chihuahuas that aren't too good at doing damage, but that's not to say they don't try!
