Blueberries....Just Say No!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

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?

I just keep coming back to this statement, this is too funny!

LOL what can it hurt a couple times a week :)  She eats way worse when we are out in nature, believe me!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL...I wonder how many calories a one ply toilet paper has and if this is an approved food from the FG list :)

Nancy, Ned and Vern are brothers, I think :) They want to save themselves for the good stuff. The first thing Vern does when I let him in my car is run around looking for Kleenex or napkins or any food bag :) I am sure he would like a sandwich or steak, too.

Well, if you had an RV where certain things are accessible because there is no choice, Vern would have soooo much fun and we could have fun because we could each drive half way.....

[Bonnie and Kona]

I was definitely envisioning carpet cleaning in this story. Way to go Fudge!! Kona will eat anything and as much as is provided. Owen is the one who considers many things suspect. We switched from peanut butter to almond butter and he would have no part of it. Fruit and veggies are definitely some kind of hoax. Kona loves all food. Owen will eat raspberry bushes, blueberry bushes, rose bushes, socks and sticks but no produce.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL, Bonnie! That Owen is a little stinker, too :) Kona, way to go!!

My two will eat most everything, love fruits and vegetable.  They are not fond of cucumbers, will suck off whatever they are soaked in and spit the cukes out on the floor.

They both will not touch real crab, they will eat the imitation, but not the real stuff.  Kona would try to roll on it, YUCK.
