Hi Kathie:
We have run into the same situation with our four-legged tiller,
Punkin. Aside from watching her like a hawk when she was out to
verbally warn her, the best thing we have found is to place a layer
of the large, smooth creek pebbles on top of the soil. We get them
at the garden center and they're just smooth and heavy enough that
she soon gave up and quit playing in the plants. We now have several
floor plants that she will occasionally sniff at but once she sees
the stones she heads off for easier "prey" like my gloves.
Good luck,
Barb, Peanut & Punkin
