When I first got Nova she had the amusing habit of picking dandelions. She'd bite the flower, yank it off the stem, then walk around with it in her mouth. She also bites sticks, grass, mulch, tree branches, and anything else that strikes her fancy. Until last weekend it was a mildly amusing and harmless behavior.
Last weekend I made my annual trip to the Menards garden department and bought lots of flowers to plant around the mailbox and trees, and in the pots and planters I have around the outside of the house. I put Nova on her tie-out and went to work. As I planted flowers I tossed her the empty plastic pots, which she enjoyed shredding and playing with. Then she got bored and decided she needed to help me. Before I realized what she was doing she'd yanked 3 newly planted flowers out of the ground. Suddenly that cute habit of picking dandelions wasn't so endearing. I wonder if I can teach her the difference between flowers and weeds?
