Time4ANap Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 We have a raised planter alongside the house that is made of concrete and stucco. At this time of year, the summer heat makes it pretty warm for the plants, so we add a few bags of mulch to help keep the moisture in the planter. LaVida has decided that mulch is a wonderful prize. Each night she sneaks around to the side when she thinks we aren't looking, and comes back with a chunk of mulch hanging out of her mouth. She has even turned her head away so that we can't see the mulch in her mouth. She's not trying to eat it, she just thinks of it as scoring a prize while she's outside. No pictures yet, it's usually on the last turnout of the night and I haven't had my phone handy when it happens. Quote Camp Broodie. The current home of Mark Kay Mark Jack and Gracie Kiowa Safe Joan.

No fertilizer in it. We fight the battle of Mark and LaVida both trying to eat the fertilizer when I feed the shrubs and the palm trees. Apparently, Holly Tone is delicious. Quote Camp Broodie.

GreyPoopon Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I have wood chips in the "zone" (dog bathroom). Toodles has had a couple of phases of "Yum, wood chips." That's problematic because she doesn't have any chompers (she has 6 teeth--her canines and two incisors) and could end up in trouble if she were to swallow what she can't chew. I'm not sure what triggers the phases, but I know I have to watch her carefully until she loses interest again. Good thing LaVida doesn't eat the wood. It's hysterical that she treats it like an extra special biscuit.
