If ever anything was guaranteed to cause an uproar it has to be making soup, or indeed anything that involves carrots. I tend to peel the offending vegetables and the peelings are snapped up by my dogs as if it were caviar. There is no end to the yapping, leaping up and down and general mayhem whenever they appear. Like when a bath is in the offing, my little canines sense me heading in the direction of the vegetable rack, only on this occasion, instead of fleeing for cover, they are like bees round a honey-pot. I've gone so far as to consider storing and peeling the carrots in the bedroom! They do like their peelings with even little pot-bellied, pregnant Tina joining in the scrabble for the "gold" as I scattered the skins outside.

Funny that the dogs like carrots so much! My dog will eat carrots, but her real craving is for apples...

What is it about carrots, mine go mad for them as well. Being as two of then are a big boys I very nearly end up with a big grey weimaraner nose on the shopping board! Jinks is the smart cookie though he hangs round my feet knowing that being a messy peeler I always knock some onto the floor! Careful tha Tina! Hazel Malcolm.

Mine are the same, at least Minnie and Max are. Carrots are their all time favourite treat. Poor Amy doesn't have enough teeth left to really enjoy them
