One of my Rainbow Bridge babies did that. It took me a while to break the habit. I wish I knew about the pineapple. Gracie was given to me by her breeder when she was 6.5 months old when she remained too tiny to breed. We had two other puppies from the same breeder, and they all had the same sire. Our oldest was 1.5 years old, and we didn't have problems with either Ashley or Kiwi.
One day my husband saw her go to eat the poop and he said, "Gracie no!" He was not angry at all, but his voice was emotional and louder than usual. He said she looked so scared, and it haunts him even today, and it was almost twenty years ago. He said he will never ever raise his voice again, unless it's to show pleasure He still talks about that experience today with such regret. Gracie was a happy and confident little girl, but if know the experience affected her. We both loved our little girl more than I could ever express. It's difficult to hide our displeasure about poop eating, but it may make it worse for our pups. |
