Re: [MBZ] OT - Greenland berries GRAPES
I have my doubts about the toxicity of grapes. Maybe they're toxic to dogs but I suspect it takes quite a few of them for a large dog or more likely they're worried about dogs choking on them. A friend had a golden years ago that we gave grapes to. Its hilarious to watch a dog try to eat a grape since dogs don't have lips like a human... That particular dog lived to a ripe old age so the grapes didn't seem to hurt her any. -Curt Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:54:20 -0500 From: Rich Thomas To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - Greenland berries GRAPES Message-ID: <512b892c.7050...@constructivity.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Grapes are toxic to dogs I found out.

This dog was brain damaged to begin with. Stupidest German Shepard I ever knew. Probably didn't help her, but I doubt it made her any worse. I have known posts that had more intellect than she did.

Dad built a grape arbor in our back yard that in a few years was covered with grapes. Strangely enough, we noticed that when the grapes ripened the ones within about 2-3 feet of the ground would go missing. When I would come home from school in the afternoon, I would let Gretel, our German Shepard, out of her kennel to let her run in the back yard. One day after letting her out and going into the house to get a cold beverage, I came back out and she was nowhere to be seen. I called her and she suddenly appeared from behind the grape arbor. Her muzzle was a dark blue, obviously the color of the grapes. Hmm. I let her go back out, at which time she returned to the arbor. I watched her closely and saw that she had discovered that if she clamped her mouth around a bunch of grapes and backed up with her mouth partially open, she could strip the contents of the bunch off and into her mouth. She did this for several minutes, pausing to chew up and swallow the grapes she had removed. Mystery solved.
