Zane's favorite thing ever is peanut butter! I've even melted a tablespoon in the microwave and mixed it into his food when he didn't feel like eating and I needed him to finish so he could go to doggy day care. A stream of drool runs out onto the floor when he's watching me fix him anything with peanut butter!

He also loves baby carrots, pumpkin, yogurt, and ice cubes.

He hates bananas! I tried to give him a piece once and he spit it out and shook his head with his eyes closed. If I let him smell a banana he does the same thing and runs to his bed. He doesn't like to eat broccoli or grapes but he plays with them if I give him some. He throws them in the air and chases them.

What about your dogs?

Luna will eat anything we give her! She likes bananas and peanut butter, applesauce and anything on our plates.

She is so funny though, when we give her something new she is usually pretty apprehensive about it - actually bothering to chew it up Laughing

prawn chips!! We got take-away the other night and ruby seemed so keen to try one we let her have one.. I guess it was the crackling on her tongue but she tried so hard to spit it out!! Wouldn't come back near us while we were having dinner. Allan suggested we have prawn chips every night while we eat to kepp her away!
I've noticed that she scoots around the peas in her bowl if we give them to her.
She loves everything else though - ALOT!

My dogs will eat anything too! Yukon LOVES peanut butter, including anything that is flavored peanut butter, like his toothpaste.

I did want to give everyone a heads up that dogs should NOT eat grapes, or raisins. They can cause renal failure. So it's a good thing your dog didn't eat it, he must have known it was bad. Here's a link to an article on the ASPCA website.

I also copied this from the ASPCA website on common foods that are bad/poisonous for dogs.
Experts at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center urge you to avoid feeding the following foods to your pet:
- Alcoholic beverages
- Avocado
- Chocolate (all forms)
- Coffee (all forms)
- Fatty foods
- Macadamia nuts
- Moldy or spoiled foods
- Onions, onion powder
- Raisins and grapes
- Salt
- Yeast dough
- Garlic
- Products sweetened with xylitol

The one thing Ace will not eat is broccoli. (Unless maybe if it has cheese on it.....but even then he's not crazy about it)

the only things Atlas won't eat are greens (lettuce, spinach), celery, and - on rare occasions - sliced strawberries. He rolls them all around in his mouth for a bit then spits them out. And then waits for more - because, you know, it could taste different this time.

BREAD! Sky loves and steals bread!

Marley will eat just about anything. Fruit is kinda new to her so that usually gets taken and inspected before eating. She loves bananas and makes the funniest face when she eats them. She even waits for frozen green beans when I get those out.
Above all is peanut butter. She absolutely loves it.

Yukon loves bread too!! This past Thanksgiving we were walking guests out to their cars and I realized we had left the dogs in the house, with all of the food, including the turkey, sitting on the counter! We rushed in to find that Yukon had taken a loaf of homemade cranberry bread off the counter and was sharing it with my other two. Funny this was, the bread was right next to the turkey on the counter but he passed it up for the loaf!

I forgot about bread.
Usually she doesn't get any, but one night we had a bunch left over from a party we had catered. It was from an Italian restaurant and every slice was coated with olive oil, so we only took one loaf. It was on the counter, and I went in the other room and came back to find about 4 pieces left. We didn't see her eat it, and found no evidence, but I don't think anyone else sneaked off with half a loaf of oily bread.
