Eating Strange

Basenji Feeding
  • My husband was eating artichokes last night and Jaycee went crazy wanting them. Today we had chicken salad and Jaycee wanted the pickles in the salad. Not really sure she needs either.

  • Nothing wrong with artichokes for them… mine would eat them all the time... Maggii had it down to a science to strip the leaves of the good flesh part.... Not all of mine ever figured out how to strip the flesh off... but they would try

  • Thank you Pat for telling me that is is ok to eat artichokes. I was not sure and I do not care for them but husband loves them so looks like Jaycee will get her fill. What about the pickles is that normal none of dogs have ever ate pickles.

    LOL… I don't like them either... but Ted loves them .... ggggg... I don't think that pickles would be a problem.... I find that most dogs/Basenjis like root veggies.. and pickles come from a root veggie...

    Correction below...LOL... thanks agilebasenji!!!!

    Uhm, Pat, I'm pretty sure pickles are made from cucumbers and cuc's are from the flower of the plant (making it a fruit to biologists, but it's a veggie to nutritionists). Of course I don't care for pickles (and cuc's don't like me too much), so I could be wrong.

    Opps…. you are totally correct... LOL....

    If Magnum doesn't have a little something in his stomach, it's an almost sure bet he'll puke on a walk. He just gets so excited! So I've learned to give him a biscuit or two before a walk. But he doesn't get his meal 'til we get back.

    @JazzysMom: Funny – Jazzy is my dog that is not in a hurry for food {although treats do exite her}; she doesn't run to the bowl, takes a long time to eat, etc. And she is the one with the weight struggles. I have to watch her intake closely or she chunks up pretty fast. Keoki is our pig. He lives for food, glorious food! He'd stuff himself sick if we let him. Yet he is our leanest dog -- not skinny, but not an ounce of extra fat on him either. You'd think it'd be the opposite, wouldn't you? our house is the opposite. Dash is much slower to eat than Sissy. We have had to become creative to get him to eat quickly so she doesn't end up eating it all.
