Mmmmm. . . . EARTHWORMS!

• Mmmmm. . . . EARTHWORMS! Shohin Posted : 10/7/2006 11:32:02 AM I'm convinced that Winston is better at finding earthworms than the birds . . . . he sniffs them out and gobbles em' up so fast!  He will wander the yard searching for them sometimes.  Does anyone elses dog do this?  Is it bad for them? P.S.  I don't think he's doing it because he's hungry . . . he'll still go worm hunting even if he's just eaten a big meal. LIKE 10 REPLIES 104 VIEWS LAST POST MELANEY B.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 10/7/2006 2:56:43 PM Amy, OT here, but I just can't get over how much Kayla and Bailey look alike ... and how much they both look like Max.[] Do you know what kinds of dogs they are or are they just two little mutts that coincidentally happened to look a lot alike?

• Aina Posted : 10/7/2006 3:55:23 PM  I've always noticed how Max and Bailey look a lot alike. Are they both mutts? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

Joyce     Kayla came from a high kill shelter so I really dont know what she was... we thought a lot of whippet and maybe some shepherd in there... heres a younger pic of her.  Thanks for asking about my angel.  Looking through the pics to post these made me cry, but in a good way... anyway, heres the love of my life as a puppy []   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• loveukaykay Posted : 10/7/2006 4:20:21 PM Bailey reminds me of Kayla in the most amazing ways... shell give me a look and I know Kayla is speaking to me.  We did that a lot when I had Kayla... just stare into each others eyes and communicate... so I agree they look alike.  []  Bailey will be bigger though, shes the weight Kayla was right now and shes only 9 months so we will see how big she gets.  Shes fun to watch grow.... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 10/7/2006 7:13:26 PM Aina, I'm sure Max is a mutt.  The shelter said he was a GSD mix and I always thought the rest of him looked sort of yellow labby.  Funny thing is, one day over at the dog park I was telling someone that he was a shelter mutt and a man overheard me and insisted that "No, that's not a mutt.  That's a purebred." Umm. OK.  Purebred what?  Surely not lab.  Surely not GSD. Then he proceeded to tell me that he "knows his dogs" and Max is a purebred Southern Blackmouth Cur. That's a gorgeous breed, but very uncommon in this part of the country.  And I don't think anyone would let a purebred dog go wandering out on county roads in July, playing hide & seek with the big tomato trucks or languish at the shelter for 10 days without going to look for him. If you look up Blackmouth Cur on-line, you'll see pics that look enough like Max, Bailey and Kayla to be their twin.

( I've also wondered about how similar the two looked)   Worms, yum, With Giz it was grasshoppers and she sure did eat a whole lot, now they are dieing as the cold is comming in.  I was even worried over her eating them.  I wouldn't think worms are bad at all for a dog and if you don't mine the digging then it should be fine. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Melaney B. Posted : 10/7/2006 7:46:59 PM I suppose mine are more teasers than eaters (at least one is). She just absolutley loves to grab some critter like a grasshopper and just let it crawl in her mouth, spit out, and repeat! ewww! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
