(4,033 posts)we would go to the farmers market and she could smell peppers a mile away. I'd buy them and as we walked home, I would carry the bag & she would try jumping up & grabbing them from me. Mind you she was all of 12 lbs. and about 14-15" tall, bu there she'd be jumping up, all the way. home. I would, when we got home wash one, slice it & she was in heaven.
Once I was sitting with some older women on their stoop, a neighbor, Bob, who was about 80 walked by returning from the market. My dog walked over to Bob & started sniffing his bags. "Bob" I asked, "do you have green peppers?" The answer was yes, and I asked him to share one with my dog. He looked at me, puzzled, but took one out ran it under the hose and gave it to her.
Bob said, that he had never ever seen any dog eat peppers before.
This wasn't the only free food the dog got from our neighbors. The bakery kept doughnuts aside for her, a restaurant's kithen help kept bones for her, the older women I was sitting with always had extra food for her. Our one neighbor, retired from the Army would always buy her rawhides from the PX.
