My puppy (9-1/2 mos.) loves to stay outside in the evenings eating June bugs!!! I, of course, find this disgusting, but it thrills her. How many do you think it is safe to eat??!!! This is like "Fear Factor" right on my front steps.....Ugghhh!

We haven't gotten our bugs yet so I'm not sure. Cassius has so much fun chasing bubbles though that I'm sure he'll have a blast with the june bugs.

Ah yes, June bugs!

My 2 yr old (will be 2 tomorrow-May 31) male brindle luvs to chase them, jump at them, pick them up, flip them around. Last night one got in the house and he succeeded in catching it; there it was hanging off his big old lips - what a sight!

I'm pretty sure he's eaten a few; mostly he just jackhammers them into the ground when outside, though.

the best ever...

Mush is in seventh heaven with the June bugs right now. They're the best thing that ever happened to her. Cept for one thing. She only tortures them, but won't actually eat them. She pounces, paws, nibbles, then goes on to the next one. Once they stop moving, they're no fun anymore. So I have a pile of dead mutilated June bugs in my yard. But then Kobe, my dal, does the clean-up job and finishes off the bugs.

Sheila & the gang.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

Maggie loves to snack on bugs also - she plays with them, whacks them with her paw, then crunches them up with her head tilted to the side looking like she's enjoying a gourmet meal... "Yes, a fine crop this year. Nice crunchy outside and moist middle, and I believe there's a hint of pepper. I think I'll have another." :p

Tyson lets them crawl on his nose, then shakes his head to get them off , and SPLAT! :eek: He steps on them with his big paw. He does this over and over.

Ah yes...we have similar experiences with Cassius. Around our house there are a lot of frogs. The other night we came across one and Cassius had a ball trying to box with it :rolleyes: At one point he tried to put his nose on it to get it to move again and when it jumped Cassius jumped straight up into the air! It was hysterical!! We've also come across some earthworms that Cassius likes to eat...yuck!! :eek:

The boys won't eat bugs, but they have a great time trying to catch them and kill them. They'll take turns pawing and smushing them with their paws. They'll go as far as mouthing them, but then they spit them out.

LET HER EAT THEM ALL!!!!!!! I HATE june bugs! I have a phobia, I panick and scream and freak out..... Let her eat every june bug off the face of the earth! :p My Laila has only sniffed a june bug... then she was terrified to come into the house because I was screaming and freaking out at her to hurry before the june bug gets me..... So then I had to calm down and call her with a calm voice.... Yucky!
