Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hi Sue. i must say i agreed with so much of your post and how you have managed living around others that choose the omnivorous path. i do the same types of things at mixed gatherings ~ bringing a delicious veggie dish, and extra meat alternatives for the curious to taste. Typically i will only mention to the host prior to the gathering about my different diet b/c i simply don't like it be an issue or a topic of conversation....low-key is the key! As far as dogs go, they are not carnivores ...they are actually omnivores. As such they can do well on vegetarian diets, but like us humans, if they don't want to eat it then forcing them is near impossible! *lol* ~ pt ~ You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world. ~ William Hazlitt ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~> , SueD <s omehappierstar> wrote: > HI Leia, > I'm 46 and my parents still don't approve of my vegetarian diet!

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 You are right, I totally forgot that dogs are omnivores. When they eat the meat of an animal (usually a vegetarian animal) they go for the stomach first where the undigested fruits and veggies are. (blech) My Shih Tzu is definately into food other than meat, her favorite is cheese, followed by yogurt, then potato chips with dip, although quite often she will lick off the dip and leave the chip. I tried to give her a bite of veggie burger tonight and she turned her nose at it. I tried...perhaps if it had dip on it she would have gone for it.
