39/52 - Tug - The Fine Art of Berry Eating

When the weather turns cooler and the Dogwood Kousa berries change to red I know right where I can find Tug. He has made eating the berries a new Art form. Sometimes he jumps up and plucks off the one he wants. Other times he just picks them up off the ground. Fortunately they can been eaten by both dogs and people.

The tree is right outside our backdoor and he seems to think the berries were placed there just for him. While I don’t mind him eating some we all know Tug doesn’t have much ability to control himself. He would stand there all day if I let him and eat every single berry.

This year has been an unusually good year for berries. There are hundreds of them out there. I go out quite often and clean them up to try and prevent overindulgence on his part. The other day I went out with my camera and took some photos as he gorged himself on the yummy treats he seems to find irresistible.

So here is a collage of The Many Faces of Tug continuing a Fall tradition at our house. You’ll notice that he doesn’t eat the stems. Maybe he’s smarter than I thought!
