CyclChik --
both Sneak and Cassius were EXCELLENT fork feeders. Their flappy boxer lips didn't slow them down one wee bit! Khan is pretty good with a fork too.
Cassius was especially good with the kids' sippy cups....
(Sneak loved strawberries -- I had a strawberry patch that was supposed to be "everbearing" but for some reason seemed to be "neverbearing" instead. Then I discovered, one day when I saw one almost ready to pick: he was swiping them!)

By "ex" I am referring to my ex-husband, who I left a year ago (and should've left much much sooner). Me and current BF (the one who lead me to cycling) are still going strong!!:DQuote:

Mae loves carrots, I buy a bag of baby carrots. At the vets suggestion they replace some treats, also put leafy greens in with her kibble. She could stand to loose a lb or two like her Mom. She's lost 7 lbs which in dog weight is quite good!
That's mostly a credit to Mary, her dog walker.
One of her favorite games is "find it".
Dog does a long stay in one room while I wander the condo and hide the treats in another room, release her with "find it!". Maes job is find the room and the treats. To make it more interesting sometimes I load the treats in a toy.
I was talking to this customer at work (who works for advocacy group Marin cyclists so if you're lurking...thanks) a cheap recycleable dog toy is egg cartons!
Load egg carton with healthy dog treats of choice, close carton (use the paper type not plastic of course) hide or just give to dog.
Watch happy dog work to open the carton. Recycle remains of carton. Messy but fun for dog.
My 16 month old female Borzoi "shops" in the garden for whatever she likes. This year she has picked EVERY melon we had before it was big enough for us to pick. She would pull radishes and eat them - her FAVORITE was kohlrabi - which I ended up planting in the very middle of the garden because she kept pulling the plants before they had developed. She picked every cucumber that she could find before I could get to them as well...
Watch out for the grapes, as they are on the "don't give to dogs" list.Quote:

My guys, Noah and Tasha, LOVE veges!!
Carrots, red and green lettuce, cilantro. Why, they're bigger salad eaters than DH and me! Oh....and don't get between them and a slice of banana, unless you want to lose a finger!
But, oh....
wait...
They're rabbits!
Bwahahaha!!! :D :D :D
Sorry...no pups, but I enjoy reading about the fun things they get into (even if you don't consider them digging up your garden "fun"!).
You had me going there!Quote:

But a rabbit....it all becomes clear! :D
