Thanks for all the great comments everyone. The pups are too wiped out to reply, but they asked us to pass on their thanks. They had a great time on the trip. Dante got to lick the campfire grate and Sierra chased lots of squirrels, butterflies, and bugs.

radish – To answer your question about ridgies, in our experience they tend to be all or nothing. When engaged and in shape, they can run/hike/play with incredible stamina. However when at home they are super mellow (lazy.) Dante’s first 5 years we lived in a townhome with a tiny patio & he seemed just as happy as he is now. No problems other than usual puppy teething stuff. But nearly every dog should get daily exercise, but sometimes our lives get busy & ridgies are ok with that. It’s the food they are really after.

Thanks again for all the doggie love. And all the helpful eating tips. I’m sure many of the fellow readers have benefited from the conversations. T & D.

My dog likes apples, cukes and some other things on Gina’s list. Plus sweet pototo fries. mmmm, yamilicious!

Dogs are allergic to onions and grape skins though. Little known fact. I think I read that in National Geographic.

Haha! Wilson sends his regards to Dante and Sierra. And wouldn’t you know it? I cooked for his late sister, Mrs. O’Mally because she was a picky eater later in her life. Once she passed I keep cooking gourmet human food for Wilson and he wasn’t that impressed. One day I bought a can of Paul Newman’s canned turkey with brown rice dog food and added it to his Science Diet kibble. He was in heaven. So, he is not interested in my cooking or human food, just likes his Paul Newman mixed in. And sweet potato biscuits from Whole Foods. That’s it!

P.S. I love road trips, many years ago I took my pit bull on a road trip in my camper to Alaska for the summer, she as my co-pilot, it was awesome…

Geisha is so jealous b/c her mommy does not allow her to eat anything other than that dry doggy food.

Oh I LOVE this post – aren’t they just the cutest! I’ve been wanting to have a dog too, but I’m not so sure if my cat will get along with him/her… Hope you all have a wonderful time, hugs to Sierra & Dante. kx

My VERY food motivated Basset Hounds will eat almost anything. I have to put my tomatoes outside of their fence because they’ll literally strip the plants of all it’s produce. They steal cukes off the vine, strawberry patches will be picked clean, green peppers not so much but red bell peppers…gone. Veggie Bassets…who knew.

My dogs like just about anything that is human food mixed with their kibble. I think cooked pasta is their favorite.

wow, such gorgeous dogs!!! my friend’s dog loves carrots and apples so they always bring those along. And they like those greenies (veggie bones that clean their teeth and taste really good too!). Random question for you, but — do you find that you have to exercise the Rhodesian a lot? I’ve been reading about dogs and love active dogs – apparently these are perfect for runners bc they can run like 30 miles in one stretch, but if you don’t exercise them every day, they’ll eat your entire house? Or does your run outside and just play until it gets tired?
