Acorns! I love them.
- Date: last summer
- Location: the backyard
- I’m feeling: victorious
Why am I so proud? Because I found an acorn. AN ACORN! I love acorns. So if you’ll notice that bulge in my cheek, well that’s my prized acorn (which I will proceed to crack open and chew and spit out for at least an hour). Good times. Life’s good when you’re me.

Gibson loves those too! I think he thinks that he is sticking it to the evil squirrels by stealing their food :)
Ryleigh is also a big lover of acorns! She likes to carry them in and hide them all over the house. I of course don’t realize until I find it “squirreled” away somewhere….like the sofa or under a pillow!
I don’t like to eat acorns (you dogs do not have very discriminating taste) but I sure love to roll on them. It is like a mini-massage to my back.
Glad to see you back Burger. I was beginning to think you were at the beach for Spring Break!
Burger, where do acorns rate on the deliciousness/fun scale – above or below bugs?
Bugs win because they’re more fun to catch, but acorns are a close second.
My dog Jake loves acorns too. He’ll pick one up on the beginning of a walk and keep it in his cheek until we get home. Then he’ll eat it on the living room rug (sort of yucky, but sort of cute too).
That’s sweet! I’ll have to start doing that. It sounds like fun.
Murphy and Lucy, our pups, love acorns too. However, they are toxic to dogs, so we try to keep them from chewing on them and eating them! I did a quick google about it and found this story, Dog Channel but if you search you’ll find many. Sorry Burger!!
Hey Shelley,
Yup, that’s what my mom rants about when she charges me and tries to get the acorn out of my grip. Fat chance mom! Luckily I only manage to extract a few morsels from the inside of one every few weeks or so- and I haven’t had so much as had an upset tummy thus far (although maybe if I did I’d be more apt to avoid them instead of enjoying them).
xo,
