The butterfly is fine but the milkweed ain't doing so good. It was Annie's fault. As I was shooting these blooms in a nearby pasture, she snuck up behind me and scared the butterfly away then yanked at the flower orb. She likes mouthfuls of flowers. She doesn't eat them, she just dethrones them and spits them out with no pity for the ruined beauty. I returned home this evening to find plants pulled out of pots, with little balls of dirt sprinkled on the front porch. Annie chews on my roses, she thinks my currants are candy, and wreaks havoc on daylillies. And to add insult to injury, when she isn't sneaking around sleeping on my deck cushions, she pulls them off and uses them as a chew toy. I am weary of my Annie's antics.
