Tomato Eating Dog

And I thought we had a problem with rabbits! 

It has come to my attention that our dog is eating all the cherry/grape tomatoes in the garden. It has come to Arthur's attention that the sweet taste of these tomatoes are good!  So much for adding them to a salad. 

I let him out the other day and noticed he had been out a L O N G time.  This is not uncommon, but lately I have been trying to watch how long he is out because he likes to eat the rabbit poop. 
I know gross! But he is a dog.

Did you know that after nibbling all those tender green plants, rabbits produce their first droppings-soft, round pellets of only half-digested food.  There is still plenty of nourishment in them, so Arthur gets to enjoy some food poop. 

Well that was not what he was enjoying this time!

I managed to make my way out before he could see me and found out where he was.

Eating our tomatoes!!!!

Remember these?
They are ALL gone now. Thanks to Arthur the Tomato Eating Dog!(I really wish someone would want to write a children's book about his adventures!  I'll share our stories if you write it!  I get half of everything you make!)

Anyway this is what is left.
NOTHING!

So to the long list of things Arthur likes to eat(crayons, Bounce sheets, dust, dirt, plastic toys,
Play-Doh, pretzels, raw dough, rabbit poop,  ANYTHING that falls on the floor!)I can now add tomatoes!

When I was younger we had a bullmastiff, for treats we gave him cherry tomatoes! He loved veggies more than dog treats! This post reminded me of him. =)

Your rabbit poop education is very detailed! haha! I think "Arthur the tomato eating dog" is a perfect title for a children's book! :)

Too funny! Arthur looks a lot like my sister's dog who also had weird eating habits--he liked to eat underwear and socks! Arthur the Tomato Eating Dog makes for a much better children's book!
