everybody hates me, why don't I just go eat worms!" That's Scouts song. Yes, my pup eats worms! Big, fat, juicy earthworms! She just digs a tiny little hole and slurps them down! Somehow she knows just where to find them too! Does anyone out there have a dog that does this and can it be stopped? :yuck:
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.. little extra protein there !!!!! I know a toddler that loved having a feast of worms. Mom was out tending her roses and as she would dig up worms she would put them out for the toddler to watch. Mom couldn't understand how they were gettign back into the soil so fast until she turned in time to see one slip right in the toddler's mouth ! ( That toddler was ME a million years ago and was one of my Mom's favorite stories to tell...... esp. to my kids ! LOL)

Scout's dad is a good bird dog so, maybe she would be good at it too? When she's outside her nose is always to the ground. She's more into sniffing than anything else. She's only 10 wks and can find her bone within her one acre yard in no time! I gave her an outside bone in hope that she would stop eating the worms, it helps but, she still loves her worms.:no:
I know what you mean! And we have a lot of moths in the summer. When the porch light is on it sounds like Emmy is going to bust through the door going after those things!
My first dog, a terrier X, used to eat dried up worms off the sidewalk! Yuck! She also liked to squash ants with her nose. She never got sick from the worms. Another dog liked to roll on them.
Peanut and Rusty both bring the worms in the house but don't eat them, yuck, it's like a prize to them "Hey Mom look what we got" :no:
