| June Bugs!!!! My Dogs Will Not Stop Going After Them And Eating Them... My One Dog Vomited This Morning Because She Ate Too Many June Bugs Last Night. I Found Pieces Of Them In Her Vomit. I Had No Idea She Was Finding Them In The Yard. I Wish She Would Stop This But She Is Like On The Prowl For These Thing. It Grosses Me Out So Bad! Has Anyone Had This Problem? |

| My parents' yorkie does that. They have so many June Bugs on their back porch and Rylie just goes around trying to eat them all. He also tries to eat all the dead worms on the drive way. So gross.

| DOES IT AFFECT HIM IN ANY WAY? I CAN'T IMAGINE IT'S A GOOD THING. I FOLLOW HER IN THE YARD SOMETIMES AND SHE LITERALLY IS SO QUICK AT GETTING THEM I CAN'T GET THEM OUT OF HER MOUTH FAST ENOUGH. TONIGHT WAS LITERALLY DISGUSTING BECAUSE WHEN I CAME HOME FROM WORK THERE WERE 3 VOMIT SPOTS ON THE CARPET AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAD SHELLS FROM THIER BODIES AND WHOLE LEG PIECES. OMG! TOTALLY TOTALLY TOTALLY GROSS!!!!!!! I HAD TO CLEAN THIS UP AND I WAS JUST BESIDE MYSELF. I KNOW- THAT SOUNDS DISGUSTING. :-) IT WAS SO NASTY!! |

| My babies try to eat them too! I usually laugh though because I can see the June bugs hanging on for dear life, stuck on their beards! They start shaking their head, and if the june bugs get close to their noses' they start sneezing! I don't think they have "successfully" eat one yet though! And if they have, they haven't thrown up.

| I don't think its dangerous to them, if anything they are getting extra protein! You are so right though.... it's gross and I wouldn't like it at all.... It might sound mean but maybe you can put a muzzel on your kids until the june bugs are gone for the season. At least this way they can't eat them.

| I'm soooo glad to hear my angels are not the only ones with strange food cravings! Darla had one hanging from the hair under her chin the other night. It was so disgusting. Yes, they eat them, throw them up, leave parts all over my floor and chair. I'll be so glad when they're gone. |
