Ode to Pineapple

Ok, as you know, I was skeptical about how this whole pineapple thing would be. I actually enjoyed it, against my better judgement. When Mama offered it to me, I sniffed it and it didn’t smell half bad, so I stuck my tongue out and licked it. Sweet! It was sweet and a little tangy and so juicy it was practically dripping. That first taste was all it took, I grabbed the chunk and scarfed it down. Then Elsa came over and had to see what I was getting and she didn’t hesitate even a moment to sniff it first, but just gobbled it down. Gryphon, on the other hand, sniffed it, gave it a little lick and then said “pass”. So she hasn’t even tried it yet. Mama tried to give it to her again, but she just put it on the ground and Elsa came by and snagged it.

Anyway, for anyone who has not tried it, pineapple is wonderful. So ask your owners for some today.

Also, my Mama got me a new shirt today – not quite as cute as my pink shirt with the bedazzled crown and the word princess, but cute nonetheless. It is a black shirt with pink edging (collar, hem and arms) and has in hot pink on the back, “It’s all about ME. Deal with it!” This so sums up my attitude toward life, that Mama just had to get it for me. It fits me like a glove and I have been wearing it since Mama brought it home. I love it.

Remember now. . . get your pineapple. Paws Up!

Today’s topic is a little disgusting. It is about coprophagia (thanks to Gryphon for helping me look that one up) which means to eat feces. This is apparently a common thing among puppies, although I simply can’t believe that I even thought about doing something so disgusting. Well, it is a topic in our household, because Elsa occasionally partakes. Now mind you, she usually doesn’t eat her own, but mine and Gryphon’s.

Apparently, my Mama has read that if you feed a dog pineapple then it makes the poop taste terrible (like it doesn’t already taste terrible) and that will deter pups from eating the feces. Well, since Elsa prefers eating Gryphon’s and mine, guess who is going to end up having to eat pineapple?? I have lodged my protest already. I tried talking to my Papa about it first. I asked him if a dog who would eat poop won’t eat poop with pineapple, then doesn’t pineapple have to taste hideous to start with. He is under the impression that pineapple is tasty, so I really didn’t get very far with him.

So, next I tried Mama and told her I have a very delicate digestive system and really think that this who pineapple thing won’t be good for me. She told me that we will try it and if it doesn’t work, then we’ll have to try some pills, but she wanted to try the “natural” way first. Whoever said that pineapple was natural for dogs?? I ask you.

So having struck out on both fronts, I believe that pineapple is in my future. I’ll try it, and if it’s not too bad, I’ll eat it to help Elsa stop eating poop. Paws Up!

PS If I don’t like the pineapple, then I’m putting my Paw Down!
