My dog eats vegetables! Did we talk about this already? I noticed it about two weeks ago when one morning I came outside and saw bits and pieces of vegetables scraps strewn across the backyard - broccoli stem here, carrot over there...you get where this is going. But, she also just likes to chew things. It's more than just being a puppy, it's something her breed is known to do when she gets bored and it doesn't take much for her to get bored. Her DNA has the dog version of ADHD. About a week ago, however, when I dumped a good amount of kitchen scraps onto the compost I watched as she dove into it.

So I am sorry, but hop...
