She will eat anything:

My dog Holly (a miniature schnauzer ) will eat anything except ketchup & vinegar. I worry when she eats chocolate though. We have 5 people in this house and it's almost impossible for me to discover all the places that something edible could be hiding (Those chocolate casino coins were in a Christmas stocking). The first year we had Holly she had jumped up on the breakfast table and cleaned out a whole tray of cinnamon buns when no one was looking (I can't eat a whole tray of cinnamon buns!). A year later she ate a good portion of a Java Log. That same year she ate most of a Christmas ornament made out of mini marshmallows & pins (thank goodness those pins didn't agree with her). She loves to chew on tissues (as you can see in the picture) and she can easily find them in any trash bin around the house. When I was at the dog groomer she noticed Holly was getting a little chunky and she asked "What are you feeding her?" and I said "Nothing! She feeds herself!" (I was joking of course) but my Dad says "Many truths are spoken in jest". I think you are right Dad!
