My vegetable garden has been sabotaged. This is my first garden so I have no idea what has happend,?

the tops of my cucumber and tomato plants have been eaten off. the plants have not been uprooted or damaged in any other way. it almost looks as if somthing came through with sheers and cut off their little tops, including my only grown tomato. the cucumber plant that was ruined had no cucumbers on it and only little flowers and leaves. WHAT on earth could be doing this? i am going out to buy a giant fence to put around it, but is it possible that my dogs are doing this? one of them eats gras alot but she is large and fat and I cant imagine she could manage to gently trim the flowers from my poor veggies. Please help me!

Answers:
Sounds to me like you might have a deer coming into your garden. They will eat the tops off of your plants. You might look on the ground around in your garden for foot prints. It might have been squirrels also, but most likely a deer. A big fence will help, and keep anything out, but it might be to late for the garden this year. I had mine eaten down by my horses one year, but it was early spring and I replanted. Good luck and I hope that you can find your pruner, before they eat more...

Not enough information. It doesn't sound like dog damage although I have known dogs who liked to eat apples and other fruit. Are you near an open area with rabbits, raccoons, deer? Even field mice and rats can chow down on veggies.

could be rabbits ,
put your dog house Near the garden , Fido will keep the rabbits away ,
and could be cut worms , try dusting with sevin dust , . it will wash off in the rain and wont stay to long ,
also try liming the garden , to help eliminate rot ,
its probably rabbits or groundhogs............ good luck keeping them out of the garden
