persephone Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The dogs are enjoying picking/eating rosehips they can reach! I watched a few of them snuffling amongst the rose bushes teh other day ..thought they were hunting butterflies or something, but, no, it was the rosehips - which were delicately plucked, and chomped up :) Must be getting their vit.C .?

Kirislin Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 did you know they're related to apples? The rosehips that is, not your dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCresties Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Perhaps you should make some rosehip syrup for them Pers, then they can enjoy it all year round :laugh: FM that's so funny :D Reminds me of my Cocker back in the UK, he loved eating apple blossom - one petal at a time :laugh: Please excuse the quality, phone video, but it shows his obsession!

persephone Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 :) roses, apples & pears are all cousins ..so guess it's the same sort of thing :) Obsession is right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Love your photos, FrodosMum - especially the top one .... that's worth framing Hope everyone is sure there are no chemical sprayed to the rose bushes before your dogs' eat the rose hips. Might dash out and pick a few for my boy - see what he does. I'm so behind with the gardening and trimming, I have lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris the Rebel Wolf Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 How interesting! I knew rosehips are high in vit. c and antioxidants... wouldn't have figure dogs to eat them on their own though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I offered a couple to my boy yesterday and he looked at me with an expression that suggested I was an idiot if I thought he might enjoy it . Bumma ..... and there I was thinking I had something I could add to his good diet regime on a periodic basis and that it wouldn't cost me anything.

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It could be worse. It could be critter crap. That's what my dog loves. She's recently discovered horse poo at the beach (where the trotters exercise). And then there is the stuff in copious quantities at my dog club.
