That’s an odd looking groundhog.

The doggo’s efforts put me in mind of bobbing for apples.

Biggest tomato worm I’ve ever seen.

My grandparents had a farm dog, a German Shepherd. Sam would eat almost anything (my grandfather raised hogs, and I watched Sam eat things that came out of and off of hogs that still makes my stomach churn to think about). She got regular dog food, supplemented by table scraps. She loved table scraps. However, she would always eat everything but … tomatoes.
So this video is a surprise to me.

Well, they aren’t red/green colorblind (“It’s the smell, in’t it? Dat nose knows whos da ripest”)
Raspberries. Our delightful family dog, a Norwegian Elkhound, loved raspberries. The utterly adroit action of gently grasping them with the teeth and then backing away until they came loose was amazing to watch.

my shepherd likes broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. which is convenient because those are the only foods I actively dislike.

I suspect your dog of being the mythical no-nosed dog.
(How does it smell? Well, eating all those brassicas … AWFUL!)

Nope, it’s frickin’ squirrels.
They like to take a bite out of one, then a different one the next day. It can’t be that they don’t like them, because they keep coming back, and I’ve seen them carrying green ones away.

I had a Golden eat all of my tulip blossoms (not the bulbs) one year; I too was blaming the squirrels until I saw her with a suspiciously pouchy muzzle, and said “Leave it!”, and she spat out a tulip flower.

Dog gone it!
Great if it works! They’d be replaced by others in a heartbeat where I live.

Need a single-panel comic which depicts neighbor_A “relocating” some live-trapped fuzzy annoyance into neighbor_B’s area at the same time that neighbor_B is moving the same sort to neighbor_A’s area. But the artistry required far exceeds mine

We had a border collie that did the same; all the “low hanging fruit” would be gone. Neighbour had a GSD who would pull carrots out of the garden and eat them

Maybe she ate a squirrel that ate the tulips, but wasn’t willing to spit out the squirrel?

My flatmate’s labrador goes round the garden, picking up any fallen green tomatoes she can find. But instead of eating them, she just walks around with them in her mouth.
She’s very delicate, there’s not a single tooth mark on them, but I have no idea why she feels a need to carry something in her mouth all the time (it’s usually a ball of some sort).

The retriever is strong in that dog.
My dog couldn’t eat tomatoes, always gave him an upset tummy
