Will Dexter Eat It: Apples

This week is a tip of the hat to a former family pet, Duke. Duke was a giant heinz 57 mutt. He was big, dumb, friendly, and probably one of the easiest going dogs I have ever met. Duke was a giant surrounded by much smaller dogs, 2 dachos and a min-pin, but he was a gentle giant. Near the end of his life, we would spend summer afternoons in the backyard playing catch with small apples that fell off a tree. Inevitably he would end up eating more than a few which would cause some serious gas later. Unfortunately ol Duke passed away a few years ago, but those memories of him eating apples and memories like it will stay with me always.

In case you are wondering, apples are perfectly fine for dogs to eat - in fact it’s quite common to find them on the label of your dog’s food. Eating too much apple at once will do what too much fiber would do to anyone - give them some serious gas. Beyond that, there’s nothing to worry about.

Now - will Dexter eat it? We’re about to find out. I personally don’t think so, but what do I know, I’m taking a big 0fer right now. This has to be my chance to turn it around, c’mon Dex, work with me on this one.

I win! Finally! I don’t feel so bad anymore!

No animals were hurt during the filming of this video, but Dexter may have an apple tree growing in his stomach
