My dog loves veggies, raw or cooked. She sometimes harvest her own
broccoli if there's any hanging close to the edge of the garden. She
knows not to go in there without permission. She hangs right around
18-20 lbs depending on the season of the year. Sleepy Dawg (that's her
middle name you know, Dawg) is a soon to be eight year old Rat Terrier
and is the terrifier of squirrels and cats. The neighbors Great Dane is
so afraid of her he won't even get close to the fence when she's out.
