Friend And Foe

Itty, my chihaha (mispelling on purpose) is shopping for hibiscus blossoms.  She is the official garden “taster” at my house.  She enjoyed my beets and carrots the most…pulling them up and carrying them off to a secluded spot on the patio to devour them away from my prying eyes.  I was hoping she would chase off birds and vermin.  Which she does, but I believe her motivation is not to protect the garden for my benefit, but for her own.  I’m still trying to decide if she’s a garden friend or foe, or maybe both.
