Well, with summer back in the mix, I've started waking up at 5am to go on long morning walks with the girls. It helps them chilalx when I have to go for a long run, study for school, or cook. Gris loves these long walks, but has added a new stupid act to the mix. She likes to run ahead and do this horsey looking, bucking thing and when she puts her head dowm, she grabs a mouthfull of grass that she either spits out, or eats. Usually she'll pull this crap for the first ten minutes, then settle down and walk nice, or trot ahead. Well yesterday she did this alot. It was a pretty exciting day and I think this is some kind of happy dance that she's doing. Well, she are alot of grass and when I came home from work, she had thrown up what looked exactly like a huge owl pellet. I swear, my dog was the smartest puppy. She got her CGC at seven months old. Now somehow she has become the stupidest kid on the back of the short buss. My Whippet is a Wimbo!

My two have been inhaling grass like lawn mowers, not sure what's up. It makes for an unpleasant exit when they have to go poo! I have been trying to stop them eating it so much.

All of my dogs are eating grass this year like crazy, dunno what changed all of the sudden! Joey is the worst with it-he'll eat a bunch of grass and some poop and then projectile vomits it wherever he happens to be laying... no warning just puke! Rotten dogs!

I think that the Spring grass has alot of sugar this year. We got alot of heat and alot of rain. My friend took all his horses off grass, because of founder prevention. Lopez seems to pace herself, a little nibble on clover here and there, but if I let Gris - Gris eat it, she would just graze like a horse. It's weird that they're all doing it!

both my boys love to graze,but they up chuck every time so when i see them chomping i ask them if they want some brocolli that stops them from eating the grass they get the green that they crave and don't puke.

Alf and Gracie both like to eat long grass, too.
That is funny that Gris Gris does a "horse bucking" routine! She is probably just so happy to be out walking, and that is her expression of happiness. It sounds like she is off leash on those walks. I wish I could walk with our dogs off leash.

Nope on leash. Just a longer leash. We're city folk.
