That same poodle loved broccoli stems, apples, apricots on the tree, marshmallows, etc., but wouldn't touch a raw tomato. A friend's golden retriever gained weight from stripping her garden of all the tomatoes. That's a lotta tomatoes!
My Chow turned up his nose at everything. But he'd beg for nori. :confused: Go figure.
Probably how he kept his tongue purple. :p
Things which one learns on TE forums. :rolleyes:Quote:

Dogs like their fruits and veggies, in my experience.
my cat LOVES avocado! she's always sneaking a lick off the half i inevitably leave on he counter.
she also took a bite out of every cucumber in a bushel from the market last year. little brat.
I had a cat who looked pregnant because of her avocado diet (nice coat though!). She'd hunt avos from the neighbor's tree, bring them home hanging from her her teeth by a sliver of peel. She'd park in a corner and peel the peels off in tiny tiny bits that would dry up and look like some kind of rodent dropping.
She'd eat the yummy part, and then chase the pit all around the house.
Silly Sadie Cat.
I thought the birds were stealing all our grapes until I saw our flat coated retriever in amongst the vines. He was looking carefully through the vines and then found what he was looking for a nice bunch of grapes. He proceeded to down them without looking the slightest bit guilty. He also loves eating fruit from our orchard and so far I have seen him eat plums, apples, peaches, apricots and loquats. My golden retriever will eat apples and loquats but turns his nose up at the rest.:)
My golden retriever mix picks up fresh pecans out of the yard, crunches them open and eats as much of the nut as she can. She taught my other dog that pecans are yummy, but he never cracks them open for himself. She cracks them, gets what she can out and then he comes and cleans up what he can. If I shell them and toss them, they both eat them up like they're cat food treats.

Trekhawk, keep that dog away from the grapes! Grapes and raisins are toxic for dogs!!
When I was growing up in Greenwich Village during the Beatnik era (1950's-early 1960's), everyone who was 'hip' had avocado pits growing on their windowsills. They never got very bushy or had fruit, but they could get 4-6 feet high with multiple branches if you had them in a sunny window in a good pot of soil.
It was a part of life then in the village, and to this day I always associate avocado pits with toothpicks in water with beat poets in sandals and wild grown-up parties. :cool:
Growing up I had a pony who loved citrus fruits. She once raided a shopping bag by biting a hole right into it and chewing up four entire grapefruits, peel and all. :rolleyes:Quote:
