I just got my japanese maple from evergreen gardenworks last week. I immediately planted it in a gallon pot until I could take the time to decide how I'll grow it. Today I came home and found it out of the pot and mostly chewed and eaten by the ill-behaved dog who is still very much a puppy. If someone messes with my dog, I get mad. If someone ruins one of my plants, they die with it! I can't believe her!

Anyway, it has but only a few leaves now and it is a fraction of what it use to be. The roots were thoroughly dried. But in a panic I planted it in the pot again, added some water and misted the plant. What are her chances of recovery? It is hot and dry here in Co so I took the plant and put it in the basement where it'll get lots of indirect light and not be subject to the wind. It is only a seedling but it was beautiful! Any advice (besides throwing it away and buying a new one) would be appreciated.

My dog and I are not on speaking terms. Good thing she can pick up on the fact that she's one more stupid stunt away from getting herself planted!

Thanks-

concerned...

oh and I should mention that all of my plants are now behind one of this invisible fences for dogs. Most of them were already there but I put the maples outside of it because they only got morning sun and didn't have direct wind there. For now everyone goes behind the fence!
