It is. It's Tribe 2's roosting tree.

Do they eat the seeds that are produced after it flowers? I know they are poisonous to humans, I don't have a clue if they are to poultry!

Bella immediately began playing with Skittles when I took them to the fields today.

She also made a new friend and really ran her butt off with him. He is a 1 yr old intact black lab. But she reopened a cut on her toe and started limping and bleeding so we had to cut it short with only about 30 minutes of playing.

She's coming on well DL. Is the cut from a problem before you took her on?

No. He certainly was not. He got scooped up and carried for a while until after we ran into Apollo. Bella kept screaming when she first met him and running to me and Apollo's "mom", Karen. Karen's first black lab was somewhat raised by Dylan, my first male Dobie. So she is well aware of the way Dobermans play. After Bella figured out that Apollo was not going to kill her, the screaming stopped and the fun began. Shortly after that I let Skittles go. If I saw the the two big dogs coming too near him, I'd holler out a heads up to him so he could go into evasive maneuvers if he needed to. He was fine. He is used to running around big dogs.

Awww so happy she’s doing well!!

And he certainly does seem like he knows how to handle himself.

No. She had a fit when I crated her one day and slammed her foot into one of the wires. When I took her out when we got home I noticed a lot of blood soaked into the blanket so took her into the bathroom to find where it was coming from and noticed the cut toe. That was only 2 days ago so all the ram rodding around today opened it back up. Not too bad though. She's already stopped limping.

I've never seen them eat them. There's a Horse Chestnut tree a bit further along and I've never seen them try to eat those either. They will pick at and eat what they can get out of walnuts though. They're pretty clued up on what to and what not to eat here.

Yep, most animals in the wild know what's good and what isn't.

Gotta realize our chickens are like prehistoric creatures they did not get that far eating the wrong things

Wow, it is easy to get left behind on this thread! Several pages back I mentioned washing a Golden retriever at the car wash, and someone said the car must have been messy afterward! Lol, good one, but no - he rode home in the back of the truck. It was only two miles and we only did it in the summer.

Also, someone mentioned how good walnuts are for you, and yes, they are! I happen to like walnuts, especially if they are lughtly toasted in the oven a few minutes. But nutrition isn't everything. I've been told beets and bell peppers are good for you too. But I wouldn't put em in a cookie. Heck, I won't put em on my plate!

For the poster whose DH doesn't like chocolate chips and child doesn't like walnuts, try a Tollhouse cookie recipe with chopped dates and pecans instead. Might make everybody happy. Discovered those at Original Cookie.

I like walnuts but they hurt my mouth!
