Hah baby carrots. Gizmo loves, loves loves baby carrots. If I'm eating them, he'll plop his little furry butt right next to me and just stare ay me until I give him one.

Okay so I gave Teaka dinner. I put a few, about 5, pre-cut frozen green beans in warm water for about 15 seconds or so, and mixed them in with her dinner. The little squirt spit them back out onto the floor!! So I threw them away.

Now I have this bag of green beans! Well I guess I could eat them as a snack, God knows I could lose weight as well.

. I'll try carrots tomorrow and see how that works. She's so darn picky. I guess I should be lucky she likes her food.

If teaka sees you snacking on the green beans and making a big fuss over them being sooo yummy,and then sharing just a little bit with her maybe she will think they are People food!!

Blueberries are not poisonous or toxic. Can they make some dogs sick? Of course, but so can anything else if the pet is sensitive to that item or if the fruit has gone bad. Also eating a whole container of them in one sitting would probably make them sick. As an ingredient in dog food or as a fruity treat, blueberries are perfectly safe to feed your dog.

Avocados are up for debate. Certain parts are definite no-nos, like the pit, bark, and leaves i believe. However the meat of the fruit is typically ok to feed. Some dogs can even eat the entire fruit with no problem. There is a dog food called Avoderm that praises the avocado and has it as a main ingredient in their foods.

Jackson would lick the gravy off and then spit out the vegetable lol. He won't touch fruits or veggies or most grainy things either (crackers etc).
