  3. I happen to have a pekingese that adores raw cabbage. It’s hilarious to watch him eat it, since his teeth squeak something awful while he’s chewing it.

    He always comes back for more!!!

  10. I have a two year old Cocktail that likes spaghetti.

    He was sitting on top of his cage and I was on the sofa watching TV. I put my bowl down to go and get me a soda. When I got back, he was perched on the side of the bowl chowing down.

  12. I had a border collie that liked carrots. She even began digging them for herself out of our garden. I thought it showed her intelligence, my parents were not impressed. True story.

  14. I have to be careful because my horse will eat and drink ANYTHING!! I have a dog who LOVES popcorn,bagels and carrots and a cat that will try to steal the dog’s food while he is eating it so we have to keep an eye on her-she also eats all of our houseplants so we have to watch what we bring into the house. I also had a cat that loved bread and saltine crackers so much we couldn’t leave the packages out anywhere or else she would get into it!
