Its interesting you mentioned dogs. My dogs rarely get my distilled water although they like it. I usually give them tap water that has set long enough to evaporate the chlorine. They don't like fresh drawn tap water. Their favorite is filtered water with a little apple cider vinegar added. Lately the dogs have had some strange cravings. They got into my sesame oil and licked the bottle clean. Then they found a jar of Spirulina and chewed the cap off. I took that away from them, but this morning they were begging for Spirulina and I gave them a little. They lapped it up like it tasted good. They also like molasses and sorghum and coconut oil. Its getting hard for me to leave anything out where they can find it. I think I need to start adding a little good oil and maybe even a little green food to their meals. I bought them some dog biscuits last week and they won't touch them. Wouldn't you know my dogs would be health food nuts!
