The Trouble with Labs

...is that they do like their raw vegetables.

If you're chopping vegetables in the kitchen they're there.  They engage in wishful thinking because they know there is a high probability of raw vegetables like potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli and carrots - especially carrots - will hit the floor for them to scavenge.

It's OK to be careless with these types of veggies because they're a healthy, tasty, snack and are low in calories.

The other problem is if the girls are loose in the yard and not closely supervised they will raid the garden and filch a tomato or a green bean - especially the green beans.  I was picking green beans the other day and found several plants sporting what I call "dog beans".

Half of it on the plant and half gone.  

Since Labs do not have opposable thumbs suited to picking their beans they have to settle for a nip here and a bite there.  Not worth the expenditure of a huge dose of discipline.  I've got beans to burn.

The garden in all its glory...


 

Vive le Jardin Magnifique!
