Aroura Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 I got home the other day and walked outside to find Lilys bowl filled with fat ripe tomatos from the garden. So, having heard that tomatos are poisonous I ran inside and got angry at mum for giving Lily tomatos even though I'd told her they were poisonous. She told me to get my facts straight before accusing her and told me that Lily had been opening the veggie patch gate and picking the tomatos herself. :eating: So I said to mum "well then why don't you just put them in the bin? Why do you have to put them in her bowl?"... well apparently I was wrong again, mum hadn't put them in her bowl, but Lily had opend the gate, picked the tomatos and put them in the bowl herself and left them there with no intention to eat them. Now if thats not insane then I don't know what is!!!! :banan: (a dancing banana maybe???) :wink: Quote
bk_blue Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 I think you should teach her some useful things- like how to use the vacuum cleaner and get drinks from the fridge. (but never NEVER teach her how to use the TV remote LOL!!!) 8) :lol: Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Far too clever. I have a fruit bowl on the window-sil it has apples and oranges in it. Gladis took her ball jumped up put her front paws on the window-sil and dropped the ball in the fruit bowl. all the clever dogs are dogo dogs :D hows uni going Quote
DogPaddle Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Tomatoes are bad for dogs? Very smart animal, she definately could put that to use somewhere, maybe she could go to uni with you :lol: . Quote
Prairie_Gurl Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 jez, that is one smart puppy!!! My German Shepherd use to jump clear over the garden fence and take naps in the nice soft HUGE weeds (my mom's not the greatest gardener in the world) and I'm sure he ate some fruits and veggies while there. While weeding my mom and I found his little nest, and a few trails of his. LOL. Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 [quote name='mouseatthebusstop'] all the clever dogs are dogo dogs SO TRUE! :D :lol: :lol: Quote
Aroura Posted March 13, 2003 Author Posted March 13, 2003 You guys are right, I should put her brains to good use.... maybe she could do my chem work for me? Uni's fun (never thought studying could be fun, but strangely it is...) but I just looked at my chem work today which I'm doing externally and nearly went into a coma from the shock!!! :o Because I was enroling internally and didn't know I'd have to do chem externally (it clashes with psych) I got all the stuff posted to me nearly a month late, then I had to chase around a text book etc and so now its finally all sorted I looked at the study timetable they set out and almost died! I worked out that I will have to get through ten pages a day of set study notes and questions, plus half of one of those massive thick text books in mereley a month before I have to go to res school!!!! :drinking: ... ooops, none of that!!! Too much work to do, I've also gotta do psychology and socyology assignments and a heap of biology work (probably a couple of asignments for that too!) I've been studying since 10am today, thats 9 hours straight! Just decided to have a break but in a minute I've gotta get back to work!!!! Wish me luck :help1: :kaffee_2: Quote
behle Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Good Luck Aurora! University is challenging, but that is what also makes it fun. It's great to study, learn, and emerge victorious! Lily can be your study partner. I do think that fetching cool drinks and snacks for you as you study is a great idea! :lol: If she can sort out tomatoes she can certainly open the fridge door, nose through its contents and fish out a nice cool soda for you!!! :drink_2: Quote
Aroura Posted March 16, 2003 Author Posted March 16, 2003 Or maybe she can make a nice cup of tea then drive to the shops and buy me some chocolate :wink: Quote
behle Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 Excellent idea! Does the vehicle she will be driving have an automatic or standard transmission? She may need at least one driving lesson if she has to shift gears herself! :kciuki: Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 glad you have settled and you are enjoying it :D Quote
courtnek Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 You might want to ask the vet - there may be some vitamin/mineral missing from her diet and that's why she's eating the tomatos. Quote
Aroura Posted March 20, 2003 Author Posted March 20, 2003 Tessa can do the gears :wink: Nah, she's not eating the tomatos, I'm not sure but I think she's putting them there for us? I can't think of any other explaination of why a dog would break into the veggie patch, pick a couple of ripe tomatos and put them in her bowl (which is right next to the back door) and then not eat them???
