Blueberries

So I had to share something funny. I bought a whole bunch of blueberries at the grocery store last night, as they were on sale. I was cleaning them up when I thought "Hey, blueberries are good for dogs" and I know lots of other dogs who eat them. So I dropped a few in to Rhys' food bowl, as he was laying there in the kitchen. They intrigued him, he picked one up and took it in to his crate, where he proceeded to kind of eat it. Came back, got another squished it around in his mouth, then spit it out. This went on with like 6 or 7 blueberries, till he finally gave up on them. So I held one up to him and he ate it. . .kind of. . .
I finally figured it out. . .he was squishing them in his mouth, eating out the flesh, and then spitting out the skin. I was highly impressed! I just couldn't believe he figured out how to basically skin a blueberry! Now that's talent! ;) It makes sense though. . .the skins can be a bit tart or acidic so he apparently decided to skip them and go straight for the good stuff.
Riley wouldn't have anything to do with them . . .she's getting more and more picky, which is odd. Who knows, with that one!

That is so funny! Leave it to a terrier to skin a blueberry. Goldens just inhale them!
