Roxy eats mud. I don’t know why, but she’s tearing up the lawn. I keep meaning to ask the vet about it. Or at least Dr. Google. Tonight, John suggested I try to deter her. He handed me a full water bowl. I went out on the deck, he pointed the flashlight, and I dumped half the bowl on her head. She hates that, but she came right back on the deck (she was ignoring me when I was calling her in because she couldn’t tear herself away from the mud). This might work. The spray bottle is probably a better tool than the water bowl, though.

My dogs used to love the water bottle–they’d bite at the stream for kicks. Same with the hose. Tell Roxy to lab up a little. 😉
Is the dirt thing new? Maybe a mineral deficiency?

I asked the vet. She thinks it’s probably nothing. Maybe she likes the taste. 🙂
