Little Miss Picky

This cute little thing, Ginny, well, don't let her fool you. She is as picky as they get. She only eats her dog food when she is absolutely starving and there is no sight of human food anywhere. Now, the good news is, we aren't totally worried about her eating habits because she doesn't wolf down everything in sight. However, her pickiness has made me realize that it's actually easy to "trick" her into eating her dog food. For example, all Dave has to do to get her to eat is to put one little piece of human food in her bowl and she gobbles it up! Amazing!! Problem solved! But, we do give her little things every now and then and this is what we've discovered our sweet Ginny likes to eat.

1. She loves her food cooked in egg yolk (we do this occasionally because it's good for her coat). When we do this, she inhales her food... and we usually only give her one yolk (cooked) with a few tablespoons of kibble mixed in.

2. She goes CRAZY for barbecue... especially pork ribs. It's like she's died and gone to heaven. When we barbecue, you see her almost twitching as she sits watching us devour the deliciousness.

3. Chips/pretzels... anything like that.

4. Carrots, broccoli, oranges, apples

5. Cheese! oh boy... she waits at our feet when we grate cheese

6. Peanut butter (really though, who doesn't?)

7. Meat (any kind actually)

8. She really WANTS to like chocolate chip cookies (especially straight out of the oven) and mint chocolate chip ice cream, but no chocolate for Ginny. :)

OK, so most dogs will eat just about anything, our sweet puppy does not like the following:

1. Pickles

2. Strawberries

3. Cucumbers

4. Lobster

5. Asparagus

6. Zucchini

As you probably guessed, she will eat most things, even if it's not her favorite, these are just the things that she absolutely won't eat :)
