Kona, The Pea Picking Dog


    Kona joined me out in the garden the other day, when I went to pick strawberries.  Kona was not interested in strawberries, instead she walked over to the rows of peas, tore down a pea plant, carried it over the the grass at he edge of the garden, and then began eating the pea pods on the plant.  While we have had other dogs that liked to eat peas, we’ve never had a dog like Kona, who really relishes plants often over meat.  She is forever pulling up and eating grass, and chewing on sticks.  

    She can be asleep in another room, but if we begin to grate a carrot in the kitchen, like magic Kona appears, wanting a chunk.  There has been many a time, when she refuses to eat her canned dog food, then happily when we go outside, she starts chewing on a stick or grass instead.   She seems to want to be a vegetarian.
