I got an email from Lucy's new mom: They also have horses, you see, and as
far as I know, Lucy has never encountered horses. She is great with them,
calm obedient, but she has developed an affinity for, you guessed it, horse
poo. The new owners are a bit (just a bit) distressed and asking if there is
anything they can to stop her eating horse poo. (God help them --and her -
the housedog days will be over--if she starts rolling in it!!)
There has never been a dog born who won't eat horse manure. On the good
side is that it is a wonderful source of green vegetative matter, horses
don't digest too well. It also has digestive enzymes and doesn't smell bad,
like cow or pig manure does. Many years ago there was a show breeder in
California who put her show and breeding dogs on the side of the kennel that
opened onto the pasture. This was specifically so they would get the enzymes
from the fresh manure. And it worked. Her dogs were gorgeous, and you
coule tell which ones had been on the pasture and which on the clean side of
the kennel
