Eating Strange

    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.

    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.

    Plain yogurt may be better for calcium than cheese and is more natural than the probiotics (has a similar effect). Also, I have read that pork can be bad for dogs and should be avoided… I sure hope you can get Barley feeling better soon!

    Tayda_LennyT
    I feed Tayda in her crate, because if i don't she will pick up a few pieces of food, carry it to the carpet and eat it there. Also it keeps Lenny away from her food. Usually when he's done eating, he'll wander over to the crate and wait around like a vulture. ha ha. However, I did notice Tayda's eating habits changed a lot once Lenny was around. She used to not eat much, maybe once a day, and she would never finish her food. Even now, I feed them both at the same time and Lenny will gobble up his food, and Tayda will just sit around. Once Lenny is done and is wandering over for Taydas food, she gets up and starts eating. It really seems like she only eats so that he doesn't get her food.
