Just like the last one, no compliling.
I have:
Mastiff mix, he'll swirl beans around until they fall out of his gaping maw.
A Terrier mutt that loves beans, she catches 'em on the fly.
A Lab/Retriever mix (all black with feathers) puppy that's ga-ga for 'em,
but his tracking skills are lacking.
You should see me, threshing hot beans with a gaggle of dogs auto-arranged
by height L - R, smallest to biggest.

The caffeine doesn't show any sign of problems for them?  I have heard
that dogs can't metabolize caffeine, onions or chocolate.  I am fairly
sure about the chocolate, sort of sure on the caffeine and the onions.
Maybe they are all old wives (husbands) tales.

Hi Ed,
It is true that dogs should not ever, ever eat onions or chocolate the 
caffeine I don't know about.  My two year old German Shepherd Dog once 
grabbed a green coffee bean that I had just shelled and she swallowed it 
and showed no reaction at all.  However she is boisterous enough so I do 
not want to tempt fate by doing any experiments with too many coffee 
beans.  She loves cat nip and steals our two cats cat nip toys all the 
time.

i'm not sure regarding anything about caffeine and onions, although i doubt 
caffeine would be good for them. but i do know for a fact that chocolate is 
toxic and can and will harm or kill a dog. obviously an M&M or some such 
isn't going to, but a substantial amount, depending on the dog's weight, is 
very toxic so beware. i have a dog that eats coffee beans off the floor when 
i drop them and she's perfectly fine with it but i wouldn't want her to eat a 
bunch of them.

Something to remember is the reason that coffee beans are natural laxatives 
- it's so animals that eat the berries will scatter the seeds.
If you dog eats a lot of coffee beans, not only might it get a bit hyper, 
but things could get messy too!  :-P

And besides they already have one more coffee than necessary processed
through an animal!
