A bit ago I had my 8 month old boy Ruger having watery poops for a couple of days. I caught him the 3rd day eating JUST the flowers ( for the flavour? ) from Periwinkle. ( a ground cover with purple flowers ) I boarded up that area and in 2 days his poop was back to solid. It might not affect all dogs the same but I thought I should pass the info along. The brat is also an Herb nut....he ate my 3 small Basil plants coming up. No bad poops and his breath reminds me of a good pasta dish. :-)) Colleen Donnelly GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG BREED BETTERMENT REGISTRY The only way to understand & estimate the nature of the dog is to study his whole development. Such a task requires a sympathetic, dog-loving observer, who tries as far as possible to enter into the innermost mind of the dog, and who will know how to short-circuit all his purely human points of view. --Max von Stephanitz __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
