something new.

Ham, crackers and cheese with CHOCOLATE SYRUP on top.
Am I supposed to belive that she would really eat this?

Heheh! Mine decided to use fruit yogurt as a dip for his hot dogs at the age

Years and years ago when my eldest was about three I was making her a
sandwich and asked her if she wanted marmite or jam - yes she said - I
couldn't get her to pick one so she had both on the same sandwich. At
the age of 13 its still one of her favourites but now she is old enough
to make it herself which is just as well!

The 2 yo Princess Baby Perry spent all of Christmas at MIL's filling her
pockets with nuts and offering them to everyone. MIL says she will be
finding nuts in strange places for years to come. On Christmas day the
video machine stopped working which was a shame as she had two new
videos. I just got a call from MIL to say that the man had come to fix

Sounds similar to my DH's favorite sandwich when he was a teen: liverwurst and
grape jelly. }:-p~~~ Ech!

The worst thing was when my eldest dd, then two, posted a bit of kipper
into the VCR. There was this horrible smell for two weeks and I cleaned
the living room top to bottom. Strangely enough the VCR still worked
but the smell got worse when it was on. Eventually a video did get
stuck in the machine and when the man came to fix it he found the
problem!

The present pooch (Boomer the Golden) likes raw cucumbers, black olives
and cooked just-about-any-veggie (broccoli, corn, green beans,
carrots). I think it may be a Golden Retriever trait tho - those GRs

they held them in their paws so they stood straight up and crunched down

They do seem to change the 'designer-specific' categories over time. From
1995 (the earliest year in which I have a catalog) thru 1997, the designers
were Alma Lynne and Paula Vaughan. In 1998, the designers were Lavender &
Lace and Teresa Wentzler. I have a feeling that they eliminated the TW
category this year because her designs are so complicated, they don't get
very many entries (there were 13 L&L entries and only 8 TW entries last
year). However, and this is my opinion only, creating a Precious Moments
category in place of TW is...laughable (or something) (Not a PM fan - sorry).

I don't see any other possible categories either. In looking at last year's
program, I see Fairy Flora under Miscellaneous (and it won 2nd Place!), so
that's probably your best option.

Not really. Buildings and Scenes: um, buildings and scenes? Life-Like:
portraits - saw some photo-to-xs, MLI and Miribilia 'ladies', the Thea
Gouvenor (sp) designs (like King Tut - think that's hers, Balinese Dancer,
etc.), CS&SS 'Little Aviator', and so on Still-Life: inanimate objects
arranged artfully - flowers, fruits, china (last year's entries included
Quilts for all Seasons (PV) and Flower Power)

My mom had a favorite that I picked up as a little kid, it was
mayonnaise on one side of the bread, covered with tomato and lettuce.
On the other side, peanut butter then bologna. Put the two halves
together, and YUM!! Sounds terrible to some (makes DH ill at the

Our last dog did not like raw carrots, though he did appreciate a well-dressed
salad. The only time I can remember him ever eating a raw carrot was when one
dropped from the table and he was hanging around looking hungry. I told him
that if he was really hungry he would eat the carrot -- so he did!

the amount of crunchies needed to satisfy his hunger is waaaaaay more than what

I supplemented the crunchies for Boomer the Golden with cooked rice
when he was a wee thing (all three minutes-worth! ;-)). Gradually
added less and less rice til I added none - he pouted for several

Just be glad that she opens the jar. :-)) When I was a vet. technician, we
had one case where two dogs (Arco & friend) who shared a jar of peanut
butter between them - jar and all. :-)) I wouldn't have happy faces,
except that with the help of a couple loaves of fresh bread, the glass they

Well Carol I have the answer to you doggies cystitis problems. Give your
dogs cranberry juice or capsules. Sandy my boxer is prone to UTI
(urinary tract infection) She hasn't had one infection since being on
these capsules. I have a homeopath vet who validates this treatment. I
also give garlic capsules to keep worms and fleas away. I've never had
any trouble with worms or fleas, which means no more worming tablets. My
boxer Jess loves Californian MEDJOOL DATES. They cost £1.80 ($2.75 for
9 dates this side of the puddle, not cheap, but it's was Christmas.
Also there is a NG called REC.PETS.DOGS.HEALTH and
REC.PETS.DOGS.BEHAVIOUR both very good NG's but!!!!! very controversial
to say the least. Everyone is very doggie minded, flames are not
uncommon. Very informative and great fun

protein. Jess however, has fresh cooked vegetables every day, cabbage,
carrots, cauliflower etc., etc., etc. Sometimes she surprises herself
with the amount of wind she produces.
Both my boxers receive comments daily about their coats Jess is like
silk she is soooooo very soft. Sandy's coat is rougher and darker
brindle but she sure does shine.

A little interesting point, in GB a Staffy (Staffordshire Terrier) and
Pit Bull's are 2 different types of dog. Pit Bull's are an illegal
breed now. All existing Pit Bull must be 'fixed' registered and muzzled
in public areas. Staffy's are soooo loveable and cute, in general a
very happy adorable well tempered dog.
Just though you might like to know.

My dog (greyhound) leaves the pickle too! That's so funny. She loves
her veggies especially greens. I was told greyhounds are fed meat and
veggies when they are racing. I used to have a dog that would eat the
chocolate off peanut m&m's before eating the peanut.

likes pretty much anything else, veggies and jello included. I can't think
of anything she refuses, except for Milkbones! She loves real bones - we
only give her the Big ones, for instance when we butcher moose and deer.
She likes to hold things upright between her paws and nibble at the ends.

Just a caution: Chocolate can kill a dog! Something to do with enzymes.

have eaten lots of chocolate with no problems - mind you they eat pretty
much anything that we eat as well, so their digestive systems must be pretty
strong. If you give my Dad's dog people food, the poor little thing gets
sick.

For information on chocolate toxicity in dogs:
<http://www.firstaidforpets.com/drkevin/chocolate.html>
<http://www.netpet.com/articles/choc.tox.html>
<http://www.doggypaws.com/health/toxins.htm>
For more sites, go to <http://www.infoseek.com> and type in dogs > chocolate in
the search terms box and click on New Search.
From what I've read on these sites, the health and size of the animal, as well
as the type and amount of chocolate ingested, all have an effect on the action
of chocolate on the animal's system. In addition, some animals seem more
susceptible than others.
In other words, chocolate can kill your pet, and it isn't possible to know for
sure that your dog, horse, mouse, etc, will not be harmed by eating theobromine,
which is the ingredient in chocolate, tea, coffee, etc., that is causes the
problems.
Some effects of theobromine: nausea, vomiting, tachycardia and relaxation of
smooth muscle tissue, notably of the bladder. High doses of theobromine effect
the central nervous system resulting in nervousness, restlessness, insomnia,
tremor, and cronic seizures. Observed signs commonly progress in this order:
thirst, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of bladder control, agitation, nervousness,
clonic muscle spasms, seizures, coma and death.
Dogs are great con artists, but no matter what yours tries to tell you, he/she
will survive and continue to love you without eating chocolate.

Chocolate is toxic to dogs because of the theobromine. Dogs can't
process this, so it builds up in their bodies and eventually kills
them. The worst chocolate is the dark baking chocolate because it has
the most theobromine. 6oz of chocolate can kill a 20 pound dog....
Small amounts of chocolate over time can be just as bad, so don't feed
your dogs any chocolate. Carob is ok.

Actually, they are two different types in America too.

When my 10 year old dd was about 3 she would take sticks of butter out of
the fridge and gnaw on them and then hide what was left behind the furniture!
Ugh!

DD takes the tub of margarine out of the fridge and eats it with her
fingers. Bleah! I also have to guard the butter when I take it out to
soften to make cookies so she doesn't snitch fingerfulls. I would worry,
except that she is very petite, and has been in the 10th percentile
weightwise since she was 2 months old.

butter at a time! It's a shame that we don't find out til so much later
that we are all more 'normal' than we thought we were :-)

I used to help myself to spoonsful of brown sugar at my grandparents'
house. My grandmother told me I was sure to develop diabetes. I haven't
gotten it yet.

eating brown sugar...? ;-)

My sister did that too- when we got a CARE package with a pound of
butter in it, she snatched the butter and ate the whole thing in one
sitting. Turns out she has a somewhat rare condition in which her
body needs butter-fat to use vitamin D. She already had a case of
rickets at 9 months- this was right after the war and the milk had no
butter fat at all. After eating the butter, her rickets cleared right
up. Somehow, babies know what they need- you might want to get your
daughter checked too.

former neighbors. When he (the child) was about 3 years old he was
diagnosed as having a condidion that would eventually prove fatal. I
can't remember what the condition was, or if she even mentioned it.
Anyway, the boys mother started letting up on the 'rules of the house'
figuring that her son only had a short itme to enjoy himself...why not
let him do as he pleased. One of the main things was that he always
wanted to eat dirt. After a few months of eating the dirt, he went to
the doctor to check on his condition, and it had reversed itself. It
seems that there was something in the dirt that his body was lacking.

Hey, DD drinks olive juice too, and pickle juice as well. I found out
that my Mom drank pickle juice too.

imbalance in the blood. It is usually dirt or something crunchy like ice
chips or potato chips, but I've even known of people who craved newspaper.
Often a chem-7 blood test will pick up problems like this.

(snicker)
Adult onset diabetes was common in that part of the family. My craving for
brown sugar didn't cause me to develop it, though. And my grandmother,
when she wasn't worrying about my alledgedly inherited tendency towards
diabetes, let me eat and do whatever I wanted.
She'd say (to my mother) 'Now, look, Flo, she's only a little girl..'
(sigh) The pleasures of growing up in an extended family...
