Gem once got hold of some Mushroom Pilau rice after we had had an Indian take away - she must have known the mushrooms were going to be on the bad list because she spat them out all over the floor and ate all the rice!
She cries for a slice of cucumber when we are making salads :-( | |

Donna, All my dogs like meals with tomatoes in it... however, that is correct, it is really the green parts of the tomato plant that is bad... I will fix that in the post so as not to mislead folks.....but I willalso include, not to over-do because of the high acid content...and thanks for the other LINK also. Gemma likes slices of Cukes???? .... my dogs won't touch cukes... smart of Gemma to spit the mushrooms out.! | |
