My dog ate a whole bag of dried prunes that I accidentally dropped on the ground. I went to pick them up but he lunged for them and then maneuvered his body so that he was positioned between me and the prunes. Told ya he was a genius. (Except for the part where he's eating prunes off the ground -- kind of disgusting.) gonna be great for his digestive system

(Except for the part where he's eating prunes off the ground -- kind of disgusting.) Dried prunes must be super leathery, unless, of course, you meant dried plums. And my dog loves fresh collard leaves. I won’t tell you much about that awful experience. However, in the same way that prunes get things moving, they don’t produce the same results as raw greens. You might be ok. Just might be a lil extra large this time. Lol

Ingesting all those dried plums had NO effect on my dog as his behavior and poop have been the same as usual.

Just realized how much my dog loves ice cubes. I would let him out of his cage and he will go and sit by the refrigerator.

In humans, craving or chewing ice can be a sign of iron deficiency or anaemia. It doesnt appear, based on limited available research, that the correlation exists with dogs. Doctors use the term "pica" to describe craving and chewing substances that have no nutritional value — such as ice, clay, soil or paper. Craving and chewing ice (pagophagia) is often associated with iron deficiency, with or without anemia, although the reason is unclear. www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/iron-deficiency-anemia/expert-answers/chewing-ice/faq-20057982

My dog gets his iron from drinking raw blood. So, he's good.

If I ever adopt another dog at my age, I want one that is a medium size dog. An English Bulldog is ideal. But I heard they have quite a few health issues due to the way most are bred and at a certain age, it goes downhill quickly. Of course, no matter what breed, I will still purchase pet insurance. Anyone else does this for their furbabies? I know it truly helped me out with my last kitty. Had I not had the pet insurance, I would have paid $20,000 in vet bills that accumulated in the last 2 months of his life. I only ended up paying about $4,000. Anyway, I also would prefer to get one that is a couple of months old and not an adult dog. I am a bit wary of adopting an adult dog from a shelter since I don't know the dog's history and would hate for a day when I may trigger some bad memory for the dog and he/she attacks. If I do get a puppy that will grow into a medium size adult, it is because I don't think I'll be able to manage larger dogs that I once used to help raise or family dogs when I was growing up. And I've been around some large dogs. Rhodesian Ridgeback, American Akita, Rottweiler, German Shepard/Bernese Mountain Dog mix and a Bullmastiff. It also sucks that here in Hawaii, majority of all the pure breed breeders deal with Pit Bulls, toy dogs and GSD. We (well, my mom) raised/bred English Bulls all of my childhood and into college. They were awesome, but I remember lots of heartache because they do indeed have health issues from coat/skin to heart. That barrel body and those shorty legs put lots of wear and tear on the system. Also, they require a cooler climate than your tropical one. I sure did love those slobbery lil guys though!! And in my opinion, when it comes to cutest breed of puppies, English Bulldog puppies are the cutest.
