We are very blessed to have 60+ acres right at our back gate that is part of the property we live on. We take our pup out there 1 -2 times a day to run without his leash. He LOVES it and we love that he does and the exercise he gets. It's a hay field in the summer and gets it's share of birds picking at the leftovers. And, there's ton of Canadian Geese, esp now that it's colder. (I did find out the other day that if he runs at a flock on the ground they SCATTER - love it. Hate those birds...)<br>
He sniffs a lot at the little clumps of onion grass that are growing here and there, but I notice that he eats a good deal out there. I notice this from a distance when he's off his leash. The only thing in abundance out there right now is geese droppings. Is this something I should be worried about? He isn't a dog who eats his own waste (forget that term) and I've seen him sniff at our neighbor's dogs' waste piles and then move on. I think he's eating the geese droppings though and wonder if I should be worried from a health perspective.<br>
Thanks, ladies!
