My friends Rabbit loves dandelions.

The dandelion leaves are also edible by people too. You can make a nice slaad with a french dressing and some chopped pieces of well grilled bacon in them. Very nice.

Rabbit next door loves greenery. Keeps eating the neighbour's pot plants instead of the weeds! Our dog'll eat just about anything, veg and fruit included, but she won't touch uncooked mushrooms for some reason!

Mushrooms and banana's are two items I have NEVER managed to get my dogs to eat (must be the texture)

Try them with small tomatoes, they have great fun knocking them around the floor until they accidently burst it and realise that it tastes nice as well

HAHAHA, she's done that with the cherry tomatoes! If my dad puts some big tomatoes in his lunch for the next day, she gets the ends sliced off. Loves her fruit and veg that dog, always baffled me just how eager she is for a bit of broccoli!

Oh, coffee. We left a packet of coffee out one evening before we went out and she'd had that off the counter and open, put her nose in it and immediately withdrew it. She was bouncing off the walls when we got home though!

Can't open a packet of cheese in this house without turning round and finding 2 pairs of eyes staring at you above two drooling mouths!!!

Weird thing though they got to eat was that I did a really hot curry using some left over cabbage and chicken livers, I'd eaten all of the liver from it and left the plate on a low table to finish off after I finished doing something.. When I got back it'd been licked clean!

ROFL, my dog does the same thing with cheese!

If you eat cheese in our house, you'll get three sets of eyes above drooling mouths.. Our 2 dogs and cat all love Cheese.

As for dinnertime, the dogs get Chappie (our vet recommends this above all the "science" meals such as IAMS). Apparently it's the least processed dog food (even though it's essentially ground up fish mixed with other meats).

The cat gets either raw mince or raw fish (the vet actually told us to see if we could blag offcuts of meat from the butcher, but that raw mince is a good substitute). Oddly, though, he will fight for Chappie.

Occasionally, all three get raw chicken legs (important it is not cooked as this softens the bones and can cause problems). This is apparently good for their teeth.


The cat gets biscuits in the morning (he goes insane if you don't give him "breakfast"), and the Dogs get Chappie or rice.

Wow, snorting coffee. I'll have to try that.

My dog loves spagetti bolognese and also has a passion for fish and chips.

Found most of a haddock dinner left on a bench when we went walkies recently. Now that was one happy doggie.

Rarely feed our two tinned food, and if we do then it tends to be Butchers Tripe.

Every 5 days I do a large pot of 2.5Kg chicken (boiled, deboned, chopped and then returned to the stock), two packs of chicken livers chopped up and then a kilo of long grain rice. This is then simmered until the rice is cooked and the juice has gone. It's then mixed 50-50 mith a decent mixer. They absolutley love the stuff. Sometimes though I'll swap out all or half the chicken with normal mince. GSD's are known to be dodgy with certain foods but never had a problem with this and they've never got bored of it..

Ever seen the state of the house after the dogs have got in the fridge and polished off a dozen packs of best butter that was going to be used for making shortbread for a church fete?? The after effects I don;t want to remember
