Hi all,

I'm after some help with my bonsai, it dropped all its leaves over winter and now that we are in spring and heading into summer (Sydney, Australia) I thought it would spring back. Instead its branches are brittle. I studpily left it on the floor next to some pot plants and I found my dog chewing on the branches like sticks! I then cut it back to eliminate the brittle branches but it doesn't seem to be doing well. I've fertaslized it a couple times - once every two weeks and I water it daily. It sits out side next to my vegetable garden so it gets sun light all day. I think maybe I should give it some fresh soil as if you lift it from the top the entire plant base lifts right out of the pot? Any advice would be much appreciated . Thank you!
