Who decided dogs are vegan???

Simple fact, it's in all the books. Dogs are carnivores. Given the chance they delight in consuming stuff that is rotten. Now I see all of these commercials .... "what your dog thinks about" a dog food hawking vegetables. I have friends that with no effort can get their dogs to eat broccoli and like it or at least consume it like they need veggies. Well I have offered my rug rats (Schipperkes) veggies and let me say, have you ever seen a dog spit? Mine do and boy can the offending item make ground. I have even mixed mashed potatoes, gravy with green peas together. When all the plate is licked clean the only thing left in a lonely pile are very shiny peas. I tip my hat to those that have convinced their dogs to eat health foods :) In their book kibble is just because and getting real meat is the trophy prize in the scrap competition.

Just this evening I am happily eating a cookie when I notice out of the corner of my eye world class silent begging happening. Liza was laying in her bed with her head perched between her paws on the edge of her bed with the look. Eyes tracking each bite, nope I did not share :)
