Yeah ..Hudson LOVES horse poo ...and dead and decaying rabbit if he gets the chance BLECHH!

Nearly forgot another delicacy ...cat puke :D

Thats another reason I aint that worried about raw chicken wings :)

:D

I have had my dogs catch and eat a wood pigeon (at my Dads) and a Magpie (in the Country Park), had no trouble with the bones, and they only left the wing feathers!

Also picked a freshly road killed rabbit, still warm one morning, walking from my Dads, so it went in a carrier bag, and three happy Elkhounds shared it as a snack, and there wasn't a trace of the bunny left. Not a bit of fur claw or nothing!

Took them a little while to figure out how this obvious food should be unpacked, so I cut the head off and they soon got the idea! Now if I could get a supply of bunnies on a regular basis, guess what they would be eating. I hasten to add I worm my lot regularly.

Wildfowl poo is also a favourite condiment, and aftershave!

All the time it's disgusting and wait till you see what it does when it comes out the other end!
Eugh :) :)

Claire with the rain here never any worries about burnt lawns , lol more like bogs Mari

Horse & sheep poo & rotting grass always seems to have a good effect on the dogs system producing beautiful black shinny stools, a joy to pick up. As to feeding veg & fruit, I can never forget going to see some wolves and the whole time whilst I was waiting to watch their natural behaviour they were busy graising on the blackberrys in the hedgerows, don't know why I should have been suprised my dogs do it too and love the rose hips, so I was watching the wolves 'natural' behaviour.

Another interesting thing during this visit, there were about 10 people there and the wolves took little notice but were happy for us to be close and some were able to touch but there was one chap who they were upset about growling and making moves to see him off. He, as far as I could see had done nothing that was different to the rest of us and one would assume loved wolves else would not have been there. We talked about it afterwards, and we were told that it happened quite often when they took people into the compound, they could not work out why, but thought it may have been scent or small body movements that we the humans did not notice.

Jackie,
My two love to "graze" on walks when it's the right season :D Last year, when visiting a cousin in the Harz Mountains, Chienne discovered tiny wild strawberries. OOhhh, she loved those. One time she burrowed into high grass to look for some more, and then looked back at me for a moment, a butterfly decided to sit on her nose. Talk about one confused puppy :D :D :D
But she'll also crawl into Rasberry/blackberry bushes and will come running anytime I point out edibles :) :) :)

Digger mentioned during this thread that onions, and to a lesser degree garlic, contained substances that were poisonous to dogs. I give Chloe a capsule of garlic in her food every day as I was told this made the taste of her skin less appetising to fleas. Is this amount safe, or should I give her less?
