Default Strawberry tops and other strange things.

Apparently my puppy has a thing for strawberry tops. We've got a neat thing going now - I eat the strawberry, she eats the leafy top. I've read online that strawberries are okay for dogs to eat... but the tops? Anyone elses dog enjoy strange things?

What a weirdo...

I don't know about dogs eating the tops, but my guinea pigs always loved them. I would think they were safe for dogs too.

Good, I'm glad she's not alone. It definitely weirded me out a little bit, I gave them to her so she'd realize they weren't anything special... and that backfired

Ours are all veggie and fruit dogs.Anything safe for dogs they usually get if they want it.We give them full salads sometimes because they love the greens/veggies.We also make them teas(decaf/herbals) and they LOVE them.They eat herbs from my garden,and love to eat the mulberry leaves as they fall from the trees.Apples become edible toys,roasted/unsalted peanuts in the shell(they crack them themselves.lol) pumpkins are fun to watch them kill and eat.
