Moi- We get deer as well coming to check our veggies << Startled my hubby the other day when they frolicked across our back screen door, lol. SPEAKING of jumps acres, right?! They don't cause as much trouble as those squirrels though << so the deer are seemingly okay. No chance you'd continue to grow tomatoes for yourself?
Omg

if my family tried that, they'd feel my wrath
immediately.
Even bottled water?! That's... oh dear. So do you have to wait for the water to warm? What does it take to get them to drink?
Rayven- Hiya! Chipmunks, really?

Hmm~ only had strawberries growing as a kid, so never seen them handled pest-wise. I can totally understand the digging issue though >n< the squirrels do the same thing! Digging up the roots even, uuuuuugh~
They are cute << the squirrels and deer too. I think
they use it against us like Puss-in-Boots. Very tricksy animals they are.
...also you're right. lol~! XDD
