Strange Obsessions

I'm the same way.

My obsessions, though, are lettuce and Mom's cereal (she feeds me some piece by piece right out of her bowl).

US TOO!! Kodie's favorite obsession is french fries...to the point that if we go through Taco Bell's drive thru he'll pout!! :) He also LOVEs bread and pizza crust, and hush puppies!!

I like fruit and veggies! Except grapes and onions are a no no.

Really? Lettuce? I'll eat lettuce but I'm not sure why. It has no taste.

I can't explain the lettuce thing.

I think I just like the crunchiness.

Shoes! I love shoes! Oh boy! My favorite!

I can relate to the crunchiness issue. Sometimes my dad will let an extra ice cube fall out of the fridge dispenser. He yells "JACKPOT!" so I know to come and get it.

I absolutly love cheese and BAGELS!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE BAGELS!!!!!!!!

I love toilet paper, socks, any type of food, red wine (don't leave your glass unattended), grass, and absolutely anything on the kitchen floor! I will try anything . . . at least twice!

CHEESE! I have a strange, un-doggy like obession with pre-packaged, wrapped cheese. I hear the wrapper coming off a piece and I immediatly start drooling!

It's not really healthy for me, but I LOVE the cheese on tacos from Taco Bell!

um, yeahhhh, dude, i feel yer pain!! unfortunately, my mom and dad are pretty good about keeping things away from me, BUT, sometimes when mom is out walking the pit bull, i'll bust past the baby gate that separates me and the cat litter.....yeah, i'll admit it. i eat poop. cat poop. well, what do you expect, i'm a bloodhound? if i can eat it, i will. i'm bad like that! i'll eat their food, too, if mom is so dumb to leave it in smelling range, haha!those cats think they are sooo smart. heh.

Oh I've been there brother. About 2 to 3 times a day I'll stroll by the litter box to check to see if there's any new deliveries for me.

Tell me about it! We hounds can smell things miles away! My Mom always says that I do my part to keep the city clean! But here's what's weird about me: I will eat dog poop, but I will NOT EAT Iams dog food under any conditions! Go figure! Guess they won't feature me in their next ad.

OMG...I am obsessed with cat food too!!!My Mom thought she would be smart and put it up. I am smarter though...I can still get to it!! Don't tell her though. I wait till mom gets in the shower and then I eat all the cat food I can get then check out the litter box too. Somehow mom always knows when I eat cat poo...I dont know...something about poo breath or the little pebbles stuck to my nose.... I am not sure, she just always knows!!

Oh, and one time, mom left the groceries on the counter while she went outside to get more and I managed to snag a pound of sliced turkey. WOW!! Yum...I gulped it in record time too!!

My sister savannah and i LOVE popcicles and anything else we can get ahold of when mommy isnt looking and its not put up. And we try to get a taste of anything mommy and daddy have in their possession or on the table.

I know what you mean. I eat everything in sight. Sticks, rocks, dirt, grass. I even tried a frog once...not very tasty! My favorite thing is ice. Dad fills his glass with ice and I'm all over him to share.

Please don't think I'm an animal...I was just minding my own business in the backyard when I stumbled upon a small nest of baby bunnies. I will spare you the details of their fate, except to say that I had to go to the vet and he ratted me out with an X-ray. I still enjoy the morsels of bunny poo, though I think the bunnies have wised up and raise their young outside my yard nowadays. On a lighter note, I have counter-surfed a big raw sweet potato, some jalapeno peppers, a ham bone, and some holiday chocolate. Oh, and then there was this one time when my mom left me in the car for 5 minutes while she went inside the bank. This family pack of IceBreakers Hot Cinnamon gum kept calling out to me. I had to eat it all; well, most of it. The outer packaging was sort of tough but the rest was yummy, if not a little fiery! I had the best smelling breath for the rest of the day!!

Ummm, I once hunted down, opened, and ate all my aunts candy bars for her school fundraiser. It was 30 lbs of really yummy milk chocolate. Mom and Dad came back and found me, and they were sure I was going to die, but instead I just threw up on them all night, and felt fine in the morning. Boy did I have a lot of energy with all that caffiene though! I don't think they liked me very much that night.

I like to eat tape. Any kind will do. My mom ate plastic bags. She loved the ones the newspaper came in. There were always so many different colors of plastic "hairballs" around. I miss her. I eat tape in her honor.

I eat cat poop too. I also eat cat food. When my mom is eating she has to give me whatever she eats. I think my favorite would be baked potatoe skins. One time at dinner she gave me the bottom of the biscuits and I would carry it around so she gave me another one and I took them both and left them in my mouth until I couldn't hold them no more and had to spit on out. I try to take food off their plates even though I get into trouble. I even ate a hole bag of chocolate donuts when there was no one home. I eat a lot of stuff that I'm not supposed to when no one is home.

Rock on Freckles! Last summer I hunted down and killed 4 squirrels that visited my backyard. I started eating one of them and my mom nearly threw up in the back yard when she heard the crunching.

I also love mulch. Eating it, lounging in it, rolling in it. It's a one-stop-shop!

As it turns out, I looove tortilla chips. Mom left a bag of them on the counter (for me I am sure) today. So I ate them...almost all of them too!! Of course they were baked tostitos...I am watching my girlish figure after all.

O I like to eat grapes, and oatmeal, and ice crea, yogurt, and I even eat spider webs!

I like popcorn. I run out from wherever I'm sleeping when I hear my dad handling the plastic wrapping that comes with each bag of microwave popcorn and wait the agonizing 2 minutes before I start to stand on my hind legs and wait for the popcorn to start flying towards me! I catch every piece, too!

I eat toilet paper. I don't play with it, I actually consume it. I'm a weird cat.

Me and Della like to eat the gut piles left behind by our cat brother Charlie. I also like to eat the corn cobs mom takes down after the squirrels eat all the corn off them. I"m also a big big fan of milk. Sometimes mom shares her milk with me. Now, everytime someone comes to the couch with a glass, I have to see whats in it.. Sometimes I sneak a quick sip to see if it's something new I will like.

I'll eat just about anything. I'm not too picky. When I go to grandma's house, I really love to go to the pond to eat and roll in goose poop. I sometimes even find morsels of chicken poo and cat poo. It makes me happy!

Let's see, my favorite thing I'm allowed to eat is an orange. But I prefer sofas, chairs, lamps, glasses, purses and flooring. I ate all that stuff when I was but a wee pup, but every once in awhile, I'll check out a seat cushion just to test the waters. Also, I still love to steal garments out of the laundry.

I totally understand not being able to pass by a fast food restaurant without having a totally sensory takeover. My thoughts go directly to hot french fries and then I launch into this high-pitched squeel that drives my mommy & daddy nuts!!! Its so bad that lately I have even been squeeling at the site of the McDonald's arches & that's even without my mommy stopping to go through the drive-thru!

Oh...and that doesn't even count the time that I jumped up on the counter in the kitchen and scarfed down a 12 in. chicken teriyaki sandwich from Penn Station. My daddy was so excited to get to eat it and when he came out into the kitchen all that was left was the paper wrapper! Needless to say...I was in the doghouse for that one!

I love all food except pickles. I'd have to say my favorite snack, though, is anything given to me by the mailman. If I see a mail truck, I practically yank my mamma's arm out of her socket as I make a bee-line for it. I don't want to miss-out if it belongs to the good kind of mail carrier - the kind that keeps a stash of dog treats in his or her bag. They are the best! Even if they have the most generic treats of all, they taste extra good coming from the mail person.

I found out that i like mouthwash also and tennis balls. I dont like jalopenos to much but will try to eat it. And tortillas, i got one from the trash last night when mommy was cleaning.

I eat anything if my mom puts it in my bowl. I love Peptobismal (I got for an upset stomach once and tried to down the whole bottle.) Once, I even devoured a Starburst wrapper that fell to the floor.

I am the infamous poop eater in my house. Somehow, though, mommy found out a way to make it so gross that even I leave it alone. She says it something called Meat Tenderizer (and you would think something with meat in the title would taste good!) that you can buy at the grocery store.

I love, love, love Smarties, Sprees and Starburst. Anything that's candy I adore. Meat's good, too.

My mom says I am the best counter surfer she's ever seen! Somehow she always knows when I've been up there, something about a nasty trail or slobber? Who knows, but she keeps good stuff up there for her mini-human that I like, bananas, Dora cookies, Cheerios. I can even open the containers!

This was well written & funny as heck. My name is Kismet & I think we may have been related in another life. We have so much in common! One of my favorite hobbies is counter surfing!
Just the other night my mom went to answer the door. I scavenged her entire dinner in a matter of seconds! (That reminds me, I will have to thank my neighbor for that later)
I have actually swallowed 2 chicken legs whole! I wolfed them down before anyone could stop me. The only way to be 100% successful was to swallow it whole. There was just no time for the luxury of chewing or tasting!

You're a kindred pup Miles! I LOVE LOVE LOVE butter or treats loaded with butter fat, like delicious ice cream. *drool* If anything edible (think in BROAD terms) is within my furry reach, I can't resist. I dig and snuffle in the trash like I'm starving, even though I'm well-fed and cared for. Keeps my Mama on her toes! :)

Well, for a lab I am definitely not picky...Mom did pull a 6 ft long strand of berber carpet out of my behind once, thank god too it was killing me. Then there was the time when I thought I had gotten away with something until I got sick and threw up. Mom recognized what she saw in the vomit but just couldnt quite place it... until about a month later when she noticed a large section of her bed skirt missing near the wall... fortunately all she did was laugh, I thought for sure I was in trouble.

Ralph! That, my friend, is impressive!

I think you win the contest.

Oh! Cereal! I love cereal milk!!! Especially if it's the round things, I think they're Cherries? No Cheerios!! Cause mommy puts lots of sugar in the bowl and I get the bottom!!!! Speaking of...I didn't get mine this morning! MOM!

I love to eat everything. I am a good boy when my mommy is around, but if she leaves anything out when she leaves...it is GONE! I can't be trusted.

It has been about two years since I have done this, but I still think about it with fondness.
I helped myself to 18 peanut butter cookies that just happened to be lying on the counter. These were not just any day peanut butter cookies, but rather the really big soft kind that Mom just baked. Mom was letting them cool on the counter and didn't think I would get into them. My brother, the beagle, was locked up because he was a pup and was likely to get into things. hehe.
I didn't get dinner that night.

I like to eat the toads that have the nerve to come into my yard! Does anybody else like toads??!!

Of course, "Kitty Krunchies" are high on my list of favs, but now that my cat brother has died, we are down to only 1 producer of said "Krunchies" and I have to fight my siblings for these treats. (I have been known to sit beside the litter box just waiting for the cat to produce these treats)

Feet and bare legs. Being a beagle, my nose is always at least twenty degrees colder than the surrounding environment. I have become addicted to the large male biped's reaction to my cold nose on his bare feet and bare legs ... so much so that I am devising a scheme that will allow me to bury my nose, unnoticed, in the ice tray for ten minutes. You'll know when I succeed; they'll be able to hear him in Scotland.

My people were painting the bedroom once, and I snuck in and ate a paper towel that was covered in excess paint. They didn't find out for a couple of hours, that is when I threw up the entire towel on the carpet. I didn't even chew it, because it was still completely intact when it cam back up. Cat poop is the best. Pickles are the worst.

Pearl..I got ya beat. My mom was trying to get something out of the dryer. Well, she didn't have any of those clothes things on that they like to wear. Apparently, my nose got somewhere it was not supposed to be (it is very cold as you might know). My mom jumped sky high and hurt her back in the process. It was a good thing for me because she didn't go to work that day.

I love all kinds of food!! Especially chicken, pork chops, steak, cheese, ham....well, as you can see I will eat just about anything that my mommy gives me. I also have a strange obsession with grocery bags...I love to lick them!

green beans are the best! and I love to have my tennis ball tied into the newspaper bags so that I can toss them around and shred it open. Great fun.

Nothiing beats a good hunk of apple... Ojo has to have peanut butter but not me - straight from the tree. And at Grandma's house, I can even pull my own off the tree!

Miles,
I feel your pain..the first night at my new Mommy’s house I rated the trash can overnight. I found some very nice treats there. Like ½ of a large pizza they had thrown out….what a waist.

Now overnight I am not allowed to roam free anymore. Mommy has me now cage trained and I need to stay there overnight.

Hope this will not happen to you!!

POOP!!!! I LOVE POOP!!! Any kind of poop! Well, either cat or dog poop. Mom tried to deter me once by putting tabasco sauce on poop in the yard, thinking I wouldn't like it, but guess what? I love tabasco-flavored POOP! Yum, yum. Mom wants me to stop eating poop. Any suggestions?

Yams, I know it's strange but my mom let's me have them because they are good for me.

My mom has to go outside to eat Ben & Jerry's ice cream or else I start pulling her arm to get into the container!

Counter surfing is nothing. I once jumped 5 feet from the chair to the counter so I could eat the delicious cake mommy spent 4 hours making... unfortunately for me I couldn't figure out how to get back down.

I just love to eat some quality fabric. My favorites are socks, t-shirts, and any unmentionables mommy leaves close enough to the top of the hamper. My mommy's sister once had to help me remove her bathing suit, complete with rhinestones, from my behind. I was proud of that sparkly yard art, but she wasn't amused.

I love to lick the ice cream bowl when my Mom is done eating her ice cream. We have to be sneaky and do it when the other dogs are not looking.

I don't know if this is weird for a cat, but I love peanut butter. Also, when I was a kitten, mom rubbed bitter orange on a lamp cord that I wanted to chew. It was supposed to repel me, but I licked it right off like it was butter.

I have ate a few dryer sheets in my days. It took mom a while to figure it out. Now we use Downy in the bottle. I have also devoured a few candles. If you pick the brightly colored ones, they do make the yard look a little prettier when they come out. Ice cream is one of my favorite things now.

I devoured a whole pot roast off the table at my grandmas house while she was getting everyone in for dinner. Boy that was soooooooo good!

I LOVE bread...of all kinds. I will climb as high as I have to to get to it. I've eaten a few other things to make my owner a little mad too: a dozen Mrs. Fields Cookies (individually wrapped); a couple pounds of Qdoba steak; a bag of peanuts with the shells; not to mention the non-food items like ant traps, a whole bottle of rolaids and a whole jar of sugar body scrub (smelled like cookies).

I love goose poop. First I just tried to eat it when I'm on my morning walk but mom kept making me spit it out. Now I try to hide it in my mouth until we get home so I can eat it when she leaves for work. She usually still catches me. She looks really grossed out when I spit it out on her kitchen floor to give her a goodbye kiss.

Yogurt. I love yogurt! I will NOT let mom eat until she lets me lick the lid clean. I will sit on her lap and try to take bites/licks from her spoon unless she lets me lick that lid...

You guys crack me up! Im rotflmao right now :D

Icecubes! I love icecubes!
I also like scrounging through the trash can with my sister Macy, and we also love cat food ^_^ Our people dont like when we eat the cat food tho, cause they dont like having to buy it so often *lol* Plus its not really good for us :( We also love to beg, tho only our grandma lets us lick her plate, everyone else says "no!"

I love to eat everything but especially dandelions. They are so sweet and tasty but now there aren't very many left in the yard. Our neighbor won't let any dandelions in his yard. I guess that's why he doesn't have a dog. I also like ice cubes but I mostly crunch them up and leave them melting in the kitchen. I am really short but I can jump almost 5 feet straight up in the air! So beware if you're holding food at my house. I can still score some even if you're standing up.

I LOVE bottled water. I don't know. I see mommy getting one out and just get nuts. I guess 'cause she use to carry it with us for me when I was a puppy and would get tired/hot on walks. Now I just beg and beg for a sip...straight from the bottle, of course!

Bread or ice pops! OH BOY!!!

French Vanilla coffee is my favorite. I love to sneak in and drink it when Dad's not watching. And anything I can grab from the table when I jump up in the middle of it. Kleenex is pretty tasty, too. And I discovered some old wallpaper pieces that were laying on the floor the other day. YUM!

FOOD! I love food. I will do just about anything for food. I get my best meals in the morning when dad is making his lunch and mom is eating breakfast. I usually snag some lettuce and grape tomatoes from dad's salad (I'll even eat celery on occasion) and I often get my own bowl of Kellogg's Special K cereal. I really don't understand why my parents call me the "attack roast".

My other food fav's include (but are not limited to): bacon, popcorn (which I also get a healthy dose of when mom comes home for lunch), chicken, and dirt. Yes, I admit it, I love dirt. I often have trouble burying bones because I eat the dirt before I can cover the bone. Oops.

I also once snagged a whole tomato that mom dropped on the kitchen floor. Delish!

I love most all people food, but not green veggies. Green beans, broccoli, lettuce = YUCK! I will not eat any of those. I will eat those delicious little poo nuggets the rabbits leave in my yard. My mom hates that. She says she knows because my snout stinks when I eat them.
Miles, you are my hero! I constantly try to catch those squirrels, but have not been successful. I nipped one on the tail the other day, but he got away.

The only weird thing I've ever eaten was last Christmas when I found that I couldn't resist the shiny, gold ribbon mom used to wrap the packages under the tree. Kind of stringy and tasteless ... but it made one heck of a decorative hairball ...

My mom was once owned by a miniature Dachshund named Beauregard (may he rest in peace). One day they were both invited to a dinner party at Beauregard's grandparents' house. One of the appetizers was shrimp and water chestnuts - wrapped in bacon, and held together with toothpicks. Real fancy schmancy deal.

After the human guests went in to dinner, Beauregard was left alone with the shrimp. Big mistake. My mom got clued in when - between courses -she noticed a lone toothpick on the dining room floor.

She politely excused herself to follow the trail of toothpicks - and discarded water chesnuts - back to the living room only to find an empty plate and a very full dog. No shrimp. No bacon. No kidding!

I can't go a day with out eating either cheese, rice, any type of meat, or skittles...I absolutely love those foods
