I can understand that attitude with little kids but you would think that
adults would at least be willing to try something new.

I happen to know someone now that won't even try pea soup just
because he/she claims it looks like vomit. Go figure. ;-)
Personally, I've never seen green vomit. Normally it looks more
yellowish like maybe signature butternut squash soup might show.

When my daughter was growing up, I often tried new things. She often
had that pre-conceived hate of something that she never even tried.

My one rule was this - just take one bite. If you don't like it after
that, you don't have to finish it and I won't ever serve it to you
again. She agreed to this and all was fine from then on. At least
half the time though, she ended up liking what she had initially
refused to try.

the rawhide chews are not safe for dogs because dogs tear off chunks
and swallow. The chunks swell in the gut and can block the gut. Raw
carrot supplies their wanting to chew and crunch.

==============

She won't look at rawhide anyway) But you know she is a very odd dog
already <g>

So, a slice of carrot it shall be) She is used to cooked carrots in her
dinner. I always cook her food myself because she has a very errr shall we
say .. delicate stomach!

So, she gets chicken, carrots and potato served over rice

Tomorrow I need to make a new batch, so ... slice of carrot)

Thanks again

Sadly, you seem to have a huge inferiority complex. Only satisfied by
chopping down others. Get over your "superior" self. You don't portray
yourself very well by acting superior with the "I'm right and everyone
else is (various name calling) is wrong. It's not just with me, it's
anyone here that disagrees with you. You even call people names,
talking to others about them and not to them directly.

I wrote my opinion to you a month ago (not next week). I stated
my opinion and you gave a decent and acceptable response. As far as
I was concerned, it was over. I didn't run away from anything. There
was no argument to continue. I let you have the final word.
Nice that you are helping out that family.
What is your problem?

Regardless of anything - you must have some serious self-esteem issues.
You are constantly putting down people that don't agree with you. You
have no ability to politely debate an issue. All of your reponses are
laced with slurs.

Just in this last post you made, you felt the need to add in (about me):

- LOL, you're *still* ****ed at me for showing you for the fool you are
- with your last drunken outburst on Jan 24? Remember?
- the thread you ran away from

- Aww... Did I 'dis' Merca? Keep up with the tantrums, I love it <G>
- Feel like a real dick now?
- your ignorance of the outside world is breathtaking.
- You keep demonstrating what a loser you are Gary .
Again and again and again

My goodness. All those cuts in one single post
and you end it all with a smiley face??? LOL

You are one to avoid if there is a difference of opinion. There's no
discussing an issue with you. You resort to excessive name calling. Do
yourself a favor and use Ed P. here as a new role model. Always polite
and even when he disagrees with someone, he has never resorted to name
calling.

It's all karma. Be nice and you'll get nice back.

try a 'stick' of carrot instead. Hold on to the end of it for a bit
so she gets the idea. The carrots are meant to be health food, but
rather a treat

Cambodia ia a major sex tourism destination for older Australian and other Western kiddie diddler men...these sicko perverts dangle expensive goodies in front of desitute parents, who then turn over their hapless little girls and boys to the CREEPS, who use them as sex slaves.

That's an issue with ferrets too. Most love raisins but it's important
to cut them into small pieces. Otherwise, a whole one can block
their intestines before it dissolves and kill them pretty quickly.

Back in 1970, I had the chance to sign up for an all expense paid year
in the area. Luckily, I didn't volunteer for it nor did I get forced to
go. I would certainly not pay to visit there now.

Raisins are toxic to cats and dogs... don't know about ferrets.

I never knew that, even though we once had a dog, but you're right:

"Even small amounts of grapes or raisins can prove to be fatally toxic
for a dog."
<http://www.petmd.com/dog/emergency/digestive/e_dg_grape_raisin_toxicity>

I wonder if dogs instinctively know this.

Our dog Ollie absolutely feasted on grapes from the vine, lots of them. He

Our dog Ollie absolutely feasted on grapes from the vine, lots of them. He
was partial to Tokays.

Mine loved grapes and strawberries and lived a long life for a little
dog despite her abusive beginnings until she was rescued. She also
craved mussels. When we went to the cottage she would go down on the
beach, haul mussels off the rocks from under the sea weed and bring
them back up and put them beside the bbq for David to cook for her.

We had to fence our garden to keep our German Shorthaired Pointer out
of the strawberries and green onions. He did have very interesting
breath ;(

Two of my dogs loved raspberries and would graze on them in the garden.
It was funny to watch how carefully they picked the berries and avoided
the bristles in the canes.

Are you serious? That's very funny.
Your husband started up the barbeque...
Your dog would go to the beach, bite the mussels off the rocks
then bring them back up beside the bbq for him to cook for her?

I don't doubt you but that's one unique story
and one very cool dog that you had. heheh :-D

She was a Pekinese so you can imagine how people laughed when they saw
her doing it. David always cooked them for her because she took
about a year to trust him, it was clear a male had mostly abused her.
She could be lying asleep and if David stood up, she instantly ran,
sure sign. So once she trusted him, he felt honoured.

When my son would come to the house with his bull terrier she had the
dog trained to accept she was the owner of this house. My son used to
get quite irritated with his dog for being subservient, we thought it
was funny.
