Yeah, I know how that goes. We live by wetlands and the first time Sparty ate a frog I was horrified! They do stop as they get older but they are so close to the ground that it is difficult to stop them.

We are out with her everytime she is outdoors - but when it is dark out, it is very difficult to see what is on the ground. :) We are working on the "drop it" command right now.

I always went out with mine when they were that young. Puppies are like babies, gotta taste everything! It can be dangerous. Plus it is easier to house train if you are out with them to cheer an outdoor elimination.

"Keep an eye on her" I think is a comforting thought... but not practical. Some mushrooms are so poisonous that a dog(or a person) may be beyond help before they even start showing symptoms.<br />
But if it's a non-poisonous variety, just do your best! No sense walking around scared all the time.

Do not encourage this habit. I'm not an expert, but I do believe that some of the mushrooms around here are Amanitas, poisonous -- the colored red/orange/yellow pretty ones with crusty warty things one them? And a ring around the stalk? The lethal Death Angel Amanita, I think, is white, slender, ring around the mid-stalk. Moreover, some of the shrooms around here are Psilocybin mushrooms. Won't kill anybody, but I heard a horror story long ago of someone who fed a dog LSD and the dog's…

An unexpected psilocybin experience could be extremely unpleasant.<br />
Start teaching "Drop it!" and don't let Stella get in the habit of eating stuff off the ground. Watch for the rib and chicken bones that idiots fling from their cars. Now that they have Asian carp in Green Lake, you sometimes find huge fish vertebrae on the lawn with wicked spines.<br />
