I had a Keeshond once and she dearly loved raw potatoes. I kept the bag by the door leading from the kitchen to the garage. Whenever she went out she'd stop by for the biggest potato she could find to take with her. She ate anything... sauerkraut didn't set well with her stomach and I only gave...

Someone mentioned hogs head... when I was a child and came home from school, there was this WONDERFUL aroma coming from the kitchen. I couldn't help but follow my nose to the pot on the stove, but when I lifted the lid, lo and behold, there was a hog's head and he looked like he was smiling at...
