Dog eating roses
I have had a dog who came into my yard and chewed 2 of my roses to the ground. I never heard of a dog eating roses, thorns and all. Is there something safe I can use to protect them incase this might happen again?

Try some Cyan Peppers or some other Hot stuff on the plants. That is how we trained our dog not to eat the oleanders (which is deadly to dogs)...
To get rid of unwanted animals I have used Japlano soaked Popcorn and put that around on the ground and local animals eat that then they go running! I soak popcorn kernels in Japlano oil for a long time and then pop in a kettle or pan. I mean the smell of the kernels is overwhelming enough to make you sneeze, and when you try a popcorn it literally burns your mouth....
Also I guess you can try tomato wire.... you know the stuff that you pur around the tomato plants to help them grow. This might discourage the animals from getting to the plant.
Or Plan B get a pellet gun! Just kidding!
