Oh well, at least it wasn't a puppy!
Okay, just so you know, puppies aren't "drought resistant".

I thought you had to grow mint in a pot, as if you don't, it grows out of control. ? Or there is one/some varieties of mint tjat won't do that? Anyway, good effort to kill mint! There is a very neglected pot of it in my yard that does NOT get watered or fed.
