5 Hours

When I opened the lean-to this morning these were 2 very healthy miniature white cucumber plants - now look at them 

Max has been out there all day so I can't imagine a mouse or bird would have done it without being chased off, which leaves only one party who could be guilty !     

He obviously likes a bit of greenery in his diet 

Did you give him a good talking too? I bet you got the who me? look 

I asked him - he denied it... So I reviewed the video tape. He's so busted 

The lean-to is to the right of the picture on the concrete plinth, you can clearly see his rear end sticking out whist he was committing the offence. It took him a little over 4 minutes to strip the plants.

I suppose I should take some of the blame, I've been giving him the stalk end of the cucumbers, I guess the leaves smelt and tasted the same.   

Oh Dear! 

Caught red... well... red toothed I suppose 

  oh that has made me laugh, what a naughty doggie 

Not slugs then! 

My first thought was slugs as well as they have now stripped half of my broad bean crop, leaves, pods and started on the stems!.  More blue pellets put down!  Norty boy Max but at least you are getting one of your five a day.
