Notes from a volunteer puppy raiser: Eddie the forager

Eddie was always a good eater, never fussy.  One spring day he discovered that there was good food to be had in our yard.  I caught him with his head poked under the 'bird' netting over the strawberry bed, eating away.  He visited it regularly. Soon the snow peas were ready and he would stand by the rows eating. Next came the blackberries.  He stood in the driveway with his head poked into the bushes.  He stood there a long time. His final endeavor was the plums that had fallen off the tree.  He ate them, seeds and all.  This did not work out very well, or perhaps too well, as they were prune plums.  Need I say more?  I had to start raking under the tree and put an end to his free lunch.
