What is it about cats and them wanting to tamper with plants? I say he got his just desserts. Have a little poodle and she rarely bothers any of the house plants. Now the vegetable garden outside is another story. Caught her helping herself to the cherry tomatoes more than once!

Hmmm... Plant an extra cherry tomato bush for your vegetarian dog!

I had a giant schnauzer who picked strawberries, raspberries and black currant off the bush.

I,

The poodle likes carrots, lettuce and sugar snap peas too. Even begs for them. Will sometimes give her a small piece. She loves the crunch! Now if I could only train her to swat the fungus gnats...

I think she has a more important job - create comfort and entertainment for the owner.

Yes, also she helps to keep me in shape! She usually lets me know by looking up at me and sometimes a bark when she wants me to walk her. She doesn't like the rain though. Have to carry an umbrella for her sometimes! Your schnauzer sounds like a fun dog.

Would have liked to have been there for the cat shaving.

I am glad I was not. I saw him afterwards... it took forever to grow hair on the tail....

We have a longhaired cat that we get shaved every spring for the season. He mats terribly otherwise and is mortal enemies with a brush of any kind. I'll have to share pictures when he gets his haircut! It's coming soon. It's ridiculous and hilarious.
