Naming and shaming

[mexicowpants]

Pets. We love 'em, don't we? Well, usually. Sometimes, however, they seem to love our plants more than we love them. Flopsy is our daughter's gorgeous English lop who roams free around the house (the patio/greenhouse area, however, is WAY out of bounds!). She has, over the years, developed quite a penchant for generally the most expensive plants of our collection. Threats of a cooking pot with her name on it seem to make little difference.

So here's introducing the "name and shame" thread. Photos of your pets (the more sheepish the better), with an accompanying note of their particular misdsmeanour(s).

Let the humiliation begin!

I think she's eying another tasty orchid.

Love Lops! I used to have Frenchies...so cute.

As for the shaming...awww, not really fair because she's just doing what comes natural to all bunnies. She may look sorry (and adorable!) but it's just a ruse and she's really only waiting for you to leave her alone with all the tasty greens again.

Heh, yeah, don't I know it. Expensive tastes, that one.

This is Stanley. One of our 3 cats. I grow my orchids in an attached greenhouse. But when they bloom, I like to bring them in to enjoy. If it is an Oncidium, Cym, Phrag or anything with softer or grass like leaves, he will find it and chew it ragged. My only solution is to rub a bit of olive oil on the tips of every leaf and then dip them in a baggie filled with cayenne pepperd that I keep for this purpose. I forgot to do that with a cute little Oncidium currently in bloom. Yesterday while I was busy cooking a birthday dinner and cake for my mother he must have been busy chowing down on my plant. Just prior to my guests arriving he puked the leaves and more up in our entry way and of course I didn't notice till guests were arriving and ready to step in it. They had to stay put till I could do a clean up job. That's just one of the many things Stanley does that keeps our lives interesting. But he is so goofy and funny that he has to be forgiven for the naughty things he does

Oh what naughty pets. My 4 dogs seem to leave my plants alone, thank goodness. I did have a pack rat get in one time and it chewed on one of my orchids.

That's a Christmas photo. I wanna see orchid vomit.

Now that would be gross. We don't want to shame the little guy too much!

Shame? A cat or dog that just barfed? They're proud!
