Dory has always respected the rules: no jumping on plant shelves, no chewing the hanging vines. With nearly 200 (non-toxic) houseplants in the house, it’s a good thing he does.

|
|
On the deck, he mostly sticks to his tray of cat grass. He'll snack on other plants if he thinks we're not watching, but I am always watching. Those plants are mine, dude.
