Not for the weak of stomach. . .

And hopefully you've already eaten your breakfast before reading this. Bejuca, our Black Lab/Rottweiler that is the grand dame of the Tree Houses has always liked to eat rocks. She'll sit in the driveway and hoover up the pebbles, despite us admonishing her against doing so.

We always figured that she was cleaning her teeth by gnawing on the stones and didn't think that she actually swallowed the things.

That theory was proven wrong the other day when Lucy was walking the pooches for their evening toillette time. Bejuca put on a fine impression of a rock spreader, basically recycling the rocks back onto the driveway that she had eaten previously.

No clue as to why she likes rocks so much. Any theories?

Told you it would have been better to have eaten breakfast first.
