I recently posted in the food section about my Chihuahua, who when he smells cabbage or turnip greens cooking will dance on his hind paws till we give some of them to eat. This post is for you to share funny stories about your pets past and present and the weird things they liked to eat

Whoa, you might want to consult your vet about those grapes. I had no idea about their toxicity until I lost a German Shepherd. I had been using grapes to train him.

My daughter had a Dachsie that ate one of my twenty dollar bills once. Mad We taped the shreds back together and I spent it, Dachsie slobber and all.

My Chihuahua liked grapes too until our vet told us not to give them to her. She loves fruit of any kind. Come to think of it, she looks a little like a fruit bat.

I had a cat who turned up her nose at any table food unless it was filet mignon.

My cat, Sevy, likes popcorn.

Thankfully they usually only eat one each - and very rarely. I have noticed that they chewed them up but did not ingest them. No more grapes. Thank you so much.


You're welcome. I was in such a hurry to reply to you I didn't even finish reading your post until now. I just don't want to hear of another precious pet lost because of eating the wrong human foods.

After years of having very large dogs I now have a teeny Pom, and I'm so paranoid about what he eats. He'll dance for lettuce and just about any fruit... especially watermelon. When I fill the bird feeders he goes crazy begging for sunflower seeds, but I won't let him have any. Anyone know if they're bad for dogs?

Both of my dogs love popcorn too! I love your new avatar by the way...
This wasn't my pet that loved tomatoes and Chex mix but I promise you it is a true story. About 20 years ago (good lord I am getting older) my parents took me and some other kids to camp out at Joe Wheeler (I believe) and while we were there my mom was slicing tomatoes for hamburgers and a deer came up and was eating them. I was sitting there eating Chex Mix and I threw a little towards it and it ate it and it literally followed wherever you would throw the Chex Mix. Once it started raining I decided to get into my mom's van and that darn deer tried to get into the van with us. My dad has a picture of this somewhere I do wish I could find it. It was so funny. My dad has talked about that little deer for years...
About 12 years ago i had a Westie named Gator that would fight you for a piece of peppermint. She also loved ice cream. Sometimes she would sneak out of the house and the only way to get her to come back would be to stand in the doorway raking a spoon across a bowl. She would think you were eating ice cream and come running.

Like most dogs, Gator liked to hide food. One of her two favorite spots was my husband's work boots. After several mornings of sleepily putting a foot in a boot, then hastily pulling it out while cussing, he learned to keep them on a shelf.

She shared a bed with my daughter and they often argued over the pillow...Gator thought it was hers, and her other favorite hiding place for food was under the pillow...where she liked saving food for a night time snack.
Debra would get in bed and often find pieces of hamburger, bread, fruit, etc. waiting under the pillow when she would try to get comfortable.
And Gator loved ice cubes and would also hide them under "their" pillow.
Hearing Debra go to bed, then minutes later yell "ohhhyuck...what the heck is that?" was pretty common for us.
