    Hello Ladies,
    Wonderful topic loved reading the habits of all the cute dudes.
    Dolly is happy someone asked finally :hiya.
    Well as you know my sweetie, if she does something normal we feel strange.
    Her habits keep changing with her mood. She loves almost all the fruits except apple. Grapes, papaya. But for mango we have to be very careful throwing them away as soon as we finish for if she finds it she would bite it untill she reaches the seed and likes it . When she was a baby she couldn't have watermelon more than a piece as her tummy would get full. So she would run out, empty it and join us back :bonk. She likes cucumber but not any more.
    Do i need to mention about eggs(only yolk, white is thrown away), chicken, fish. She once broke landlord's fish pond for having a bite of the fish in it. The fish irritated her so much being safe behind the glass and she used to sit near it staring for long time before she got a chance.
    For veg, she loves tomato, raw/boiled potato, peas a lot. Whenever dad's back from the market, she wouldn't leave him untill he gives her a bunch of peas she would then uncover them and have heartfull. If she is hungry in the night when we are asleep, she would find the potato basket wherever its kept and steal one we only come to know in the morning seeing the remains. One more is ladies fingers she eats them raw :crazy.
    All sweets, chocolates and ice creams are welcome(she dislikes us and doesn't hide her anger and hurt when we don't give her :rant) She has all rights reserved for all left cream when milk is over and sometimes does a favour on my youngest sis sharing a little.
    Last but not the least ice cubes - She learnt it from my brother. Once she saw him having one and demanded for it he gave and she liked. Then on whenever it comes to her mind she would sit near the fridge and ask someone for ice cube. Take it and sit somewhere having it and we freeze :spin.
    She is the first to have food everytime and then would sit in between all of us when we are having dinner. She likes to see whatever we eat but won't touch anything unless she is told its yours.
    I guess thats enough for today.
    Regards,
    Vaidehi and Shona :cheers

    Hello all,

    I just wanted to share this.My 2 year old female Doberman was not eating properly at all, when she was pregnant.She was on strict diet (though we were very scared about her health & pups' nutrition). She would just take about (per day)
    Mixed Sprouts - 1 Cup
    Rice Cakes - 1 Cup
    (Kozhukattai in Tamil)
    Carrots(raw) - 3 - 4
    Marie Biscuits - 10
    Papaya - 1
    Her entire diet was this. No rice,no milk. With Doctor's advice we force fed her with Vegetable soup.
    All the 3 months went by like that only. But we had 8 healthy pups.
    Whats important point is that she hated Kozhukattai before her pregnancy:rotfl
    But continues to like it now.....

    More great stories of your pets....you have to wonder how many millenia people and their pets have been eating together.

    Soniya: that was such a cute video of your famous squirrel. Not a skinny fellow by any means. :thumbsup Where does he sleep? Normally squirrels here like holes in trees in which to make their nests.

    Years ago was camping in the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho and while at our campsite one day a squirrel jumped into my lap much to my surprise. It proceeded to beg for a hand out and it was so tame, it would sit on your shoulder and you could put a nut in your mouth and it would take its little hands and put on each check and gently take the nut out of your lips. Someone spent a lot of time teaching that squirrel good manners.

    Soniya:
    You are being very wise and responsible to protect your squirrel with a cage. He is obviously very well cared for and socialized. Be sure you give him lots of hard things (like nuts in shell, dried whole corn kernel) to keep his teeth down. You are going to inspire us all to have squirrels pretty soon!!!
