Blueberries....Just Say No!
The other night I was washing blueberries when Vern and Fudge came around to see if something good was happening. I never feed them from the table, but I took two blueberries and gave them each one. Now, when I say I gave them each one, I mean Vern stood and looked at me like, “what am I supposed to do with this blue thing?” Fudge took it gingerly in her mouth and decided to take her newfound treat to the dining room just in case Vern was hot on her tail. Vern was still back in the kitchen deciding whether or not I was trying to poison him or if this was April Fools Day! Once he saw that Fudge was interested in her blueberry, he decided to give it a shot and took the blueberry from me as if I had just handed him a loaded gun. He promptly ran into the dining room and spit it on the floor. From there, both dogs decided a better place to eat a blueberry would be in the sunroom and picked their bounty up and ran out the door only to spit it on the carpet out there. I was envisioning having to get the carpet cleaned by the time each of them downed one stinking blueberry.
Fudge finally ate her new treat, but Vern decided there were some things he absolutely refused to swallow and lo and behold, it was a blueberry. Who knew the dog that eats mud, grass, goose poop, and Kleenex had a discerning palate? I guess he had to draw the line somewhere. Luckily, Fudge decided one blueberry was not enough and was more than happy to eat Vern’s. Fudge has the body of someone who loves fruits and vegetables. Vern’s body is more of a meat and cheese kind of shape. I think Vern takes after me, because I like my blueberries with a little sugar on them or with ice cream or even surrounded by a muffin. Unfortunately for Vern, I have to draw the line somewhere, too.
Is there some food or treat that your dog surprisingly will not eat?

What is white cake mix? is it sponge cake mix? We don't use cake mix much here it's all pretty much from scratch but this looks like something interestingf.

Nicky -- In our stores you can just buy box cake mixes. It is a dry mix and you normally have to add the eggs, oil, butter or whatever wet ingredients to the mix. They come in all sorts of flavors/colors. White, yellow, chocolate etc. The white wouldn't be a sponge, just a regular white mix. You would have to have a box mix to make this as you use it dry and it makes the cobbler part of the cake.
