Its an All you can eat salad bar out here!

This is Cookie's first spring in her own yard (and mine too!).  Apparently the gardens that are coming up this spring are not only pretty, but tasty too. 

Her favorite new snack appears to be all the dandelions I was pulling up out of the yard.     I don't know if they will upset her tummy or not, so I tried to get them all out of her mouth. 
She also loves some of the flowers too!

Here she is chewing on the clemmatis (sp?) vine:

How fun !!!  So much to explore !!  You might want to google and see if anything is dangerous when ingested.  I am not sure !!!!

I love it when the puppers are in pictures with green all around them !!!  Go Cookie !

LOL!! Penny is a lawn mower too! When she does to my parents she always eats the weeds and long grass...unfortunately I have to suffer the repercussions of this and pick up her huge grass poos that come out!

Guinness eats all kinds of vegetables!  :thumb: He especially loves grapes, which are bad for dogs.  He stares at me when I eat them, giving me a combination of the predator's stare and Da L@@K.  It's so unnerving! :crazyeyes:

Cookie you are just too cute and too funny eating all those veggies. It is so nice seeing you enjoying your new back yard. Are you guys settled in well now Valerie? Would love to see more pictures of your house, I just loved your front porch.

LOL Karen you still get me on the floor!

well as far as Dandelion greens go, Martha Stewart was just saying they make for a good salad on her show the other day so they should be harmless for cookie =) She certainly dose look like she is enjoying her new space!!!

Cookie looks like she is really having fun in her new yard   Dandelions should be okay for her to eat (my rabbit loves them and clover).  Not sure about the Clematis....mine don't bother that; they just eat the tall grass and then either  or have those "grass poohs" just like Penny.  I love Clematis and have several.....I really don't know if that would hurt Cookie or not, but I am glad mine don't eat them because they are sooooo pretty, especially the one I have that blooms in the Fall. 
Looks like you guys are going to have a wonderful Spring and Summer in your new yard   Which is totally AWESOME

Cookie, it is wonderful to see you enjoying your new yard!  Make sure that you check out every little corner! 

My grandmother used to boil dandelion greens and mix in a chopped hard boiled egg and some crumbled crisp bacon.  She then mixed in a little EVOO and some good vinegar.  Delicious!

I did do that- thanks!  I think we are OK... although I can't say the same for my ferms that are coming up.  :crazyeyes:

  Karen- Guiness and Cookie must be related- I get that look every time I chop veggies!  It IS unnerving!

Glad to hear the dandelions might not be so bad for her.  Heck, she is helping me to weed the yard, right?

Only bad thing... I think all this "roughage" is causing her to get up at 3am to poop.    Mama doesn't like getting up at 3am. LOL
