Can't trust anyone

With real enthusiasm I planted SugarSnap (eat the whole pea) peas two weeks ago in the enclosed, gated area of the front yard. Every day for two weeks I've looked at the bare, muddy dirt. Yesterday, little green sprouts all in a row! I rejoice, hopping up and down in an interpretative dance called "Productivity is Mine". Stopped in to admire them early this morning on my way to get the newspaper from the box. No, oh no. The gate was standing open. I rushed in dreading what I would find. I knew it, I knew it. Huge doggy pawprints everywhere. Pea sprouts trampled and dug up. The dogs swore they didn't do it but I know they are liars.
