Atfore

Yech. My dog, Dart seems to love the cuisine that passes through the digestive tract of my cat, Chumba. After an exhaustive (that would be google) search of the web. I find that the experts agree that dogs like poop. There are whole websites devoted to eating poo, by dogs. Which, by the way, is called

Coprophagia

The Dog-Play behavior website has links to other websites about dogs eating poop. It is the wonder of the web that even poo eating professionals can have a voice.

Dart will check out the offerings at any time, but my favorite is her early morning cruise by the Kitty Litter Cafe. Right after that early stretch, before her morning constitutional in the yard, she drops by to see whats on the morning menu. Since Chumba gets up earlier, there is almost always something at the nibble bar. If you really think about it, dog behavior really centers around food, sleep and poo. My dog sleeps all nite, sleeps in the sun all day, eats then poops. Perhaps she is optimizing?

Even with her odd habits, I don’t want to diminish Dart’s contribution to the family welfare. Occasionally, she defends the house from hostile squirrel attacks. To quote Cathy Diamond Davis at Vetrinarypartner.com “Its a dog eat poop world”.
