blueberry lil

Yesterday Lily had the traditional Saturday morning blueberry pancake breakfast, minus the pancakes. She fixed it herself.

This week at the local "Farmer Jack's" there were fresh blueberries. Six ounce packages from Chile for $1.00. Not a bad price for fresh berries this time of year. I saw the same packages at the local grocery store for $3.00. After sampling the first few boxes that I brought home for quality control my husband and I made a second trip and stocked up on the little blue guys.


Saturday for breakfast, instead of our typical green smoothie, I made fruit salad with blueberries, red grapes, bananas and blackberries (only 50 cents a box for those gems!)


In order to attain the right fruit to fruit ratio I left a layer of blueberries in the bottom of the box and left the box on the kitchen counter. After enjoying my yummy breakfast salad I returned to the kitchen to find Lily with an empty blueberry box and a tail wagging grin on her face.

I hate to ask, but do blueberries produce the same effect on dogs as they do for babies and small children who eat too many?
