All dogs eat grass when the fresh grass comes up in Spring. Its theorized they eat it for some nutritional value. Well, maybe I shouldn't say all dogs, but most. Benji doesn't eat it, but Daisy does. Cats eat grass too.

They eat grass, new buds on bushes, sticks, bugs, poop and anything else that is around where you are working. It's like it's their way of "helping out".

Don't forget the spring worms and yard grubs. Buster has learned to dig them up and eat them. I keep telling him they are for my fish, but he does not listen!
