My Dirty Little Secret
Izzy eats poo.
I'd like to use the past tense, but occassionally, if she has the opportunity, she'll munch on it.
How could my sweet, precious little girl eat poo?? Yuck! Then she burps icky poo smelling burps! Ugh!
I read about all the various causes - vitamin shortage, hunger, undigested food, bad breeder, etc. I really don't think it has to do with any of those things. I think she just likes it. As a puppy (pictured here), she would turn around immediately after doing the deed to chow down on it. I had to carry mouth spray, toothpaste, and a tooth brush wherever we went. I'd have to bathe her all the time to clean her stinky face.
The only way to "fix" it was to minimize her opportunity to eat it, which we've done.
I guess though it's proof that I really love her if I love her and even kiss her notwithstanding this dirty little secret.
