Hi Claire. Sugar snaps are one of my favorite vegetables. We have grown them in garden in the past and I think some will definitely have to go in this year. I like simple cooking methods for vegetables so that the full flavor is retained. My female dog likes to go out into the garden and "pick" her own green beans and peas; she's very careful and does not harm the plants, just bites off the veg.

Your dog is a genius!! Lulu would have dug the whole thing up and then dragged it into my living room!!!
Once I work out how to keep the goat out of my vegetable garden (I am currently thinking I need an electric fence!!!) I will have a go at growing sugar snaps 😀
