Can a Dog Eat Your Plants??


Every night something has been eating various plants that are in
pots on my deck---even in freezing weather when the pots were covered
with sheet.  There is about an 8-inch space under the deck--between
it and the ground.  So any sort of critter could nest there.  We thought
rats, perhaps and bought bait.  The bait went, but the plant eating
went on.  Rabbits were another thought, but our dog travels that
deck 10-15 times every night going in and out a dog door.  Plus she's
a good squirrel killer and watch dog.  So we set a trap last night with
a motion sensor and a light bulb which would come on when the sensor
was triggered.  The dog set if off 5 times last night,and then the
it was nothing.  No plants were eaten.  Tonight, the dog is setting it
off again, and my husband finds her poking around the pots every time
the light goes on.  My question--does anyone have a marigold, parsley,
Christmas cactus, lettuce, cilantro, daisy and Hens & Chickens eating
dog????  Could it be Brandy?????
