Oh, deer.

The lady is grumbling a lot because deer are coming into the garden at night and destroying our plants. I patrol the area in the daytime and I'm sure that my similarity to a panther frightens them away.

But at night, when I am inside for my safety, they have a party. Look what they did:

Cyclamen before deer...

...and after deer.

Fortunately, the lady clipped this rose and put it in a vase.  That very night...

...the deer showed up and ate most of the leaves. Chicken-wire had to be put around the rose.

I'm just taking a little break. I can't be on patrol every minute. Sheesh!
