Hi dog lovers. Where is everybody? Is there another sub? The cat people are kicking butt.

Little help if you can. My neighborhood is overrun by hungry deer (and we are not allowed to hunt them 😔). I put blood meal on my landscaping to prevent them from eating all my plants but it turns out my dog loves the stuff. He keeps literally eating the mulch and dirt and the plants I flavored for him and digging like crazy too. Any suggestions for a secondary safe treatment that I can put on to keep my little stinker away from the blood meal?

Oh man. Do I even want to know how the hell that stuff is collected? Can't really argue it's too expensive "hey, this stuff cost too much for you - why don't you just go and collect some yourself then pal!"

Last thing I need is more barking from my hyper pup, but I guess I could try a test dose. Thank you.

I don't know, I just want to tell you about the time that my mom was sprinkling cayenne pepper on all her tulips to try and stop the deer eating them, and my little dog was following along behind her licking the pepper off the flowers.

He was a weird dog. A weird dog that loved spicy food.
