More weird food my dog likes
Discovered this week that Stormy has a taste for: canteloupe, watermelon, cherries (pits removed, but I don't know why we bother since I am pretty sure he'd eat those, too) bell peppers and sugar snap peas.
The other two dogs do not seem to share his enthusiasm for these healthy treats, which suits him just fine because there's more for him that way.
They all like shrimp tails, however.
Apropos of nothing, please follow this link for a brilliant illustration on the mind and body of a dog.
I have a cat & sheltie that just luv spaghetti!
I feed to them by holding it vertical & they just chomp their way up it!

My cat likes chili and just about anything we eat, especially cheese. The only thing she won't eat is fish. Go figure.

I don't have a dog but one of my cats, Patrick James "PJ", (a rescue from the group FERAL) loves bakery products. One day he was determined to have a blueberry muffin, which was still in the plastic container from the grocery store. He carried that plastic thing all over the place trying to get it open. I finally gave him a nibble and he scarfed it down. He ended up eating almost 1/4 of a muffin! He also likes buttered toast. He's still skinny though, running off his extra calories chasing the laser dot.
Mikey, do they like the spaghetti plain or with sauce? lol

My old golden loved to eat blueberries. We'd toss them and he'd catch them, yet the silly pup would never just eat them off the bush. Lucky for us. Anything that hit the floor was his though.
On the other hand, my cat Mooch loves to eat the bad stuff, the stuff he's not allowed, the stuff "mom" takes away...rubber bands, string, elastic hair bands, bracelets. Anything he can gnaw on needs to be guarded.

Molly too, eats whatever she can, except potato chips and french fries. She doesn't like the salt! She loves spaghetti also and will eat it either way (sauce or not) but I try not to give her sauce if it has garlic and onions in it.

My dog, Holly, eats anything she can find. I have to watch her in the yard..she is constantly trying to eat bees! Last year she had a little frog in her mouth!

We have 2 rescue dogs and Darlynn loves most any kind of fruit, especially melons, lettuce, red peppers and pretty much anything except corn. Bella, pickiest eater I have ever had. She is not really very fond of any type of doggie treat and most people foods don't get eaten. She will each chips, and...... beans, like chili beans, black beans... go figure. She actually tries to cover her own dog food up because she doesn't want it but doesn't want Darlynn to have it. Strange eats at my house.

D- I am sure my dogs would love beans, but there's no way I am trying that one. The three of them can foul the fragrance of a room enough as it without adding beans to the mix.
Cats are funny little eaters. My cat Thai does not have a taste for people food at all, but he will take a sip of beverages in glasses. I walked in once to see him slurping down a Diet Sprite.

Please don't feed the doggie cherry pits! Cherries are in the same family as almonds and the pits are poisonious for dogs!

Wow, thanks Crystal, seriously. I had no idea that cherries and almonds were related, but that makes all kinds of sense. To me, they have a very similar taste.
OK. I am glad we de-pit the cherries before we toss them to our 4-legged recycle bin.

Stormy may have picked up some fruit love from his foster sister. Madi is a fruit and vegetable freak! She loves cantaloupe, tomatoes, apples, pears, watermelon, cucumbers and corn to name a few! One day she ate and entire cucumber off the counter while I wasn't looking. Another day she took some corn on the cob I had set to the side to take to a picnic, took the husk off and ate the corn. I have pictures. She's a riot! I figure it's better for her than the alternative of junk food (Kenzie's fav, of course!).
