Molly likes peaches. She has been harvesting the ones she can
reach on the lower boughs of a tree in our backyard. She
consumed three or four while I was trying to take photos - I hope
there are no digestive consequences...

Clearly we're not feeding her enough meat. :-)

Peach pits contain cyanide which is poisonous. Read this:

I hope Molly is OK.

You need to get together with Terri and Carmine. I think you'll find you
have lots in common!

Molly is, well, really quite wonderful.

Thanks for the warning, Paul. We removed the remaining fruit
from the tree. Fortunately, she hasn't been eating the pits, and
it probably didn't produce more than a dozen fruit in total.

Now I remember Teri mentioning Carmine's fruit-loving habits... I
wonder how they are doing

Thank you, she's convincing us of that as well!

And the outside of the pit isn't poisonous. Only the kernel inside the
pit. So if she doesn't crunch the pits, she'll be fine.

You're post made me smile and feel sad at the same time. Viva didn't
make it to peach season this year, and she *adored* peaches.

Good... there weren't any tooth marks on the ones I found.

Awww - it's bittersweet when the little reminders pop up, isn't it?

Turns out they're apricots. Yeah, I can tell the difference, but
I hadn't seen any fruit on this tree in the 5 years we've lived
here (we usually have a late spring freeze at this altitude, not
conducive to fruit), and I didn't pay attention until I picked
the remainder on the tree. Oh, my, but they were yummy! I can
see why Miss Molly was scarfing them down!

Who else is busting to go into a carnivore rant ? Hahahaha..
That is so cute, I had a horse who after I picked a mandarin and shared it
with him taught himself to pick, peel and eat mandarins and oranges. He was
a fast learner because he only ever picked 1 lemon. It's funny how animals
get a taste for odd things, my lab loves puffed wheat cereal and yoghurt and
it's difficult to keep either to yourself when she's around. She often helps
herself to the vegie garden as well.

I had a horse that daintily plucked ripe blackberries, never touching a
thorn. He was a gray-the one with purple lips.

He also liked thistles, and thought everything brought into the pasture was
a treat for him-he had a bite of my Jeep bikini top, and chunk out of the
landau top of my Cadillac. Both nice cars. both long gone. So is the
horse.

My dogs are all blackberry pickers, the Dalmatian also likes rosebuds,
pampas grass, and bamboo (all three varieties). We have lots of hurka-gurka
moments.

Another great Viva memory; picking wild blackberries at the local
off-leash area. Viva could find the ripe ones faster and strip them far
more efficiently than we could. We got a couple of gallons and she
probably got almost as much. That dog had an absolute iron stomach; ate
a full breakfast and asked for more the day we took the last trip to the
vet.
