    I thought some of you would get a kick out of this.

    We eat a lot of small Mandarin Oranges. Cooper loves them, and will sit a drool until she gets a section. (from each orange) She also likes vinaigrette salad dressing. Our dogs have always been the pre-clean cycle for our dishwasher. I'm curious how many other dogs like sour things.

    I think that’s quite unusual. My daily orange is one of the few things I can eat without being stared at. I have started to scatter the peel around my borders to stop the pesky cats using it as a toilet and I guarantee Toby will not touch it.

    Gwenni loves an orange segment! As a young pup she used to bark at and toss around the peel. She loves fruit and will pick blackberries from the bush and apples from trees when we are out walking :p

    Our first Lab, Ginger, used to pick grapes, before we learned that they were bad for her.

    I'm usually pretty careful about what I give my dogs but yesterday I dropped a leaf of lettuce while preparing our tea. Billy the Maniac pounced on it and scoffed it before I could get to it.

    He must have really liked it because he then sat there begging while staring at the rest of the lettuce and cried when I stuffed it back in the fridge.

    I then felt guilty so I bribed him with a Boneo ;)

    Cooper will finish any salad that we have left over. About the only thing she absolutely turns her nose up to is Coffee. If there are a few drips of Coffee on a plate, she will not clean the plate, unless there is something else really yummy on it.

    No mine isn't a coffe fan, came to close one morning and it touched his nose so jumped back and woth the smell at the same time just starts acting silly and jumping about in disgust- the bonus a morning coffe in peace as if he starts being a little annoying I ask him if he would like some coffe and he jumps away and and quiet down. Must hate my coffee time but is the only thing he does this with- other than when i used some cider vinegar and white vinegar to stop him biting when he was first here
