what the *beagles* eat at my house

We walk on campus (NCSU) at night a lot, and I'm constantly dragging him away (poor guy) from some apple core (I let him eat them if Bill isn't watching) or unripe peachy-things (what are those fruits near Gardner in the brickyard?) or smooshed mulberries or ... In our yard I know the pears and apples are getting a good start because he beelines to the trees looking for early windfall. I fully expect him to be stung sooner rather than later messing around all that rotten fruit. My apples, incidentally, seemed to have suffered some fireblight but now seem to be coming out of it. Has anyone else noticed it this spring? The beagles *really* glory in tomato season, though. Is it too late to plant them? If it is, they'll be sneaking over the neighbor's garden to raid the tomatos. I've never seen dogs so devoted to fruit as these two I have now. I think Ed would rather have a juicy apple (or a shiveled one covered in ants) than a cheese sandwich. I worry about the peaches (they are right on our property line, so no one ever sprays them and they rot every year), because if he gets the soft part of the pits I think he could get ill. Probably he swallows them whole, though... Are there other fruit-eating dogs or are mine wierd? My collie-thing will eat some fruit, but isn't passionate about it as the beags are. - Susan |

Do your beagles eat corn on the cob? When I was growing up, our dogs would just
go crazy if we gave them the corn cobs after dinner. They also loved watermelon! |

My beagles eat styrofoam *packing peanuts* and *carboard*, so yes, I suspect they'd love corncobs When I was growing up, our dogs would just go crazy if we gave them the corn cobs after dinner. That's supposed to be dangerous because of the potential for choking or blockage, but I think if properly supervised they would love it - all that butter and corn They also loved watermelon! Oh, yes. Even the collie-thing eats watermelon -- Susan Buy some raffle tickets or else! http://www.tribeagles.org/raffle/ |

It's just funny when people worry about deer in their gardens and our biggest pest is the dogs Susan, you might get a kick out of this: http://www.lkgallery.com/doghouse/. Very nice! I'll share that with our photo-guru to use in making her 'feature dog' pictures - she's always looking for new ideas: http://www.tribeagles.org/news/html/...umName=album32 I *LOVE* the murals (http://www.lkgallery.com/) by the way! Any chance you'd be interested in donating one for beagle rescue to auction or raffle off? And - have you ever done a 'cave painting'? I was thinking about that for one of my walls - some stick-figure guys on horsebakc weilding spears and chasing bison -- Susan Buy some raffle tickets or else! http://www.tribeagles.org/raffle/ |

I've heard that raw salmon can be bad for dogs so we haven't tried her on that. She's also a fanatic for carrots. _______________________________________________ Ken Kuzenski AC4RD kuzen001 at acpub .duke .edu _______________________________________________ All disclaimers apply, see? www.duke.edu/~kuzen001 |

They ask for watermelon when they smell it in the house, and we buy the 2 for 1 strawberries whenever possible so we can get at least a couple of 'em. |
