Does Your Dog Like Spicy Food?
May, 2006

One friend asked me this question as we were discussing what beggers our animals are. Her dogs like chili, the spicier the better. This got my fellow newf-listers talking about the spicy foods their dogs like. As for spicy food, does anything get spicier than candied ginger? This he loves, and when he finds out I have a piece, he will sit, stare, and salivate until I give him some. Drip, drip, drip; the saliva drips from his jowls as he gives me the begging-look. One can only eat two or three pieces before the tongue is really burning, so you'd think a doggie wouldn't like it, but perhaps it doesn't burn his tongue (or he thinks, "If she can do it, so can I!").
