Our 4 Legged Peach Picker

Ok, so I have to intersperce some humor in all this

We have a peach pick’n dog!

This is an AI generated image (thanks to Mary) of what we captured on video this week

Sheba, being a lab, is very food oriented, stating the very obvious here

Introduce a fruit laden tree and its inevitable she’d try to get to them

The problem, big problem, is the peach stone

On the one hand, the stone itself has some toxins that can be released and cause her to feel ill and, on the otherhand, the stone itself can cause intestinal blockage

So unfortunately, I had to be a party pooper and install a temporary fence underneath the canapy of the tree

She still approaches the tree, tries to figure out why she can’t get any more!

So, now, she’s set her sight on the pot in the yard that has strawberries and the grape vine by the outdoor shower

Granny (my Aunt Dolly) always said to plant enough lettuce in your garden for the bunny to have some too…..I guess that same attage applies to the family dog and a variety of crops

Since she is now safe, not likely to be taking to the emergency vet for this known reason, we can laugh and enjoy how funny it is to see a dog try to pick peaches!

    Funny! Our lab cross races the chickens to their scraps. She’ll eat the lettuce which , in the house she sticks her nose up at like it’s poison, right off the ground! BTW, just in case you didn’t know, grapes are TOXIC to dogs – way more than peach pits! Love you, Sis!
