She did. She really did.
I got this little Meyer lemon. It came with two 'stems'. I didn't know whether to let it grow as is or prune one of the stems so there's only one. My dog went on a tear and chewed off a bunch of branches. Now I need to decide how to proceed from here.
Is there enough left to grow into a tree? Is it possible to split this into two trees?

Well, the dog is a rescue we've had only a couple of weeks. I brought the lemon tree and my banana trees inside and put them under lights ahead of a night with cool temperatures because I was afraid of a frost. My husband and I went outside for a few minutes and I guess she was a little anxious left in the house by herself and BAM. . . chewed tree. We know now to put her in her crate if we both go outside. Even if the trees aren't inside, she's a terror on the trashcan.
She says she's sorry.
Okay, maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. She really looks like she's ready to do it again, huh.
I got the tree from Logees. I assume it is one tree, but when I up-potted it I didn't knock the dirt off to look. I'll prune the chewed bits. Should I prune off one of the stems so there's just one?
