Tempeste certainly has a leaf fixation. And Twiggy is being such a good big sister to try to get her to NOT eat them. I suggest leaving a few out there for her to eat but put some hot sauce on them. One taste and she’ll be cured of eating them. We’ve done that with our cats and it worked.
Belly rubs to both my favorite canine girls!

I’m grateful the Monk doesn’t eat leaves. I can’t imagine they’re good for a pup. Still, after the yard’s mulched, Monk brings itty-bitty pieces of leaves inside with him — attached to his furs — and what a nuisance that is! Almost as aggravating as balls of snow.

Eating leaves? Yuk! They do have an attraction to dogs. Lucy loves plowing through the piles along the street, even burying her head completely. No, she doesn’t eat them but does enjoy peering on them. Hope those aren’t the ones that drifted south and into your yard.
