Petunias are not food!

Stop eating my petunias!

Day 1: Sunday, May 25, 2008: Flowers and trees are planted in terracotta pots.

Day 2: Monday, May 26, 2008: Flowers remain intact. Dogs seem to enjoy the backyard ambiance.

Day 3: Tuesday, May 27, 2008: Rain, dogs cannot go out to play.

Day 4: Wednesday, May 28, 2008: Last night's storm seems to have knocked around potted petunias. Plants are repotted, but despite best efforts they look like they're drunk.

Later: We return to backyard. Flower roots lay in clumps of dirt on the patio. 4 petunias are reported missing and assumed deceased.

Day 5: Thursday, May 29, 2008: Another pot has been attacked by the mysterious killer. To this date, no trees or grasses have been harmed. 4 more innocent petunias are missing and presumed dead.

Day 6: Friday, May 30, 2008: Surveillance indicates that the perpetrators have struck again; however, the only visitors (a Dogue de Bordeaux and an English Bulldog) to the scene seem to be lounging lazily in the sun. Clumps of dirt containing petunia roots are left at the bottom of the deck stairs. This is seen as a hostile threat from apparent petunia terrorists. It could even the signature of the Petunia Serial Killer.

It was a joint terrorist attack by Dogue De Qaida and HezBULLa.

were the terrorists heard to proclaim "Allahu Ak-Bark!"?

Terrorists do indicate their wicked intentions through few signs. Destroying petunias plants can be an indication. But the most fatal destructions have no pattern at all. Yesterday I was watching this movie Vantage Point and was shocked to see how terrorists plan an attack. They plan each and every second of their beastly actions.
