Field Mushroom Addiction











furrow and devour
Consume each morsel with lust
response to “come”--ZILCH


Taking walks for the past month with my dog Shadow has become a dreaded moment rather than our usual easy-going stroll. Shadow has discovered field mushrooms and she just cannot eat enough of them. One or two to compliment her daily feed of dry dog food wouldn’t be a worry, but THIS dog does not understand the word enough. We think the hillside varieties of mushrooms are non-poisonous, but we are not completely certain. When approaching a fungus field, I quickly snap on Shadow’s leash until we pass the temptation. So far, the days when she found her delights(before confinement with mandatory restraint) have not caused any negative side effects. Then again, what can you expect from a dog with an iron stomach that was not fazed one bit after eating two pounds of SEES rich dark chocolate a few Christmas seasons ago. I await the end of mushroom season on the hill.
