Odd doggies

[kie_fujo]

my dog has recently started eating poop. it's disgusting and i have to watch him like a hawk and he's so disappointed that i won't let him. i wish i could get him to stop cause then he gets sick later and it's horrible.

both my dogs will lay completely on their backs and the poop eater stretches like a cat (front legs out with arched back).

I have another addition to this thread.

A few days ago the landscaper came to trim the ginormous apple tree we have in our yard. Many of the apples fell as he was doing this.

One of mine is now obsessed with picking up the apples and carrying them inside. She's very picky too - she'll sniff and pick up a few, toss them away, until she finds THE ONE, and then she hightails it back in so she can eat her "prize".

That tree has been dropping apples the entire two years she's been here. And she hasn't ever shown any interest in them until now.

Here she is trying to bring in her beloved apple:


And her starting to nibble at the skin (before I took away her prize!):

There is a product called Deter that you can add to your dogs food that will help prevent your dog from eating poop. We had to do it for a while with our dogs and it seemed to really help stop them.

Kie, this may help.

I'm dog-sitting a friend's Maltese this week and here are a couple of the funny things he does. Out on a walk, he feels the need to stop and lift his leg on every tree/hydrant/etc. which sounds pretty normal but after the first couple of times NOTHING is coming out anymore but he still keeps doing it anyway! I think he still thinks he's doing something. The other thing is that if anyone is sitting at the kitchen table eating something, he'll hang out under the table in case we drop any crumbs. Not really that odd but amusing nonetheless.
