DOGGIE'S QUAINT TASTES.

(Phillip writes a very interesting letter in reply to mine with regard to u dog which eats/plums. Do any of you know ether instances o£ animals' queer tastes')

D.ear Miss Morton, —You mentioned in last week's supplement about an old couple who had a dog which used to eat plums. My uncle had a dog which would cat grapes from tho bunches, as soon as they were ripe, eagerly. It also used to eat" applo cores, but would never eat an apple. Then again there is a .small dog at a Neighbour's place which every year walks up and down the strawberry beds nosing under every leaf and eating every strawberry it could find. When it first came to our neighbour's place it would eat /nothing but cake and boiled lollies. One day they gavo it a piece of cake with icing on it and a minute or two later they gave it a piece with no icing and it would not eat it until they put another piece of icing with it. I have never heard,of a dog eating nlums before until I saw it in the " Supplement" and so I thought I would tell you about tho two dogs I know about. —From Philip Briddock, Beach Road, Papakura.
