From the photo you provided, it looks like Mishti has quite a bit of grass and plant material in her stool, causing a greenish color. As long as Mishti is acting normal with no sign of vomiting or decreased appetite, this is within the range of normal. Many dogs like to eat grass, and it's only a sign of a problem if there are other GI symptoms present, such as vomiting, weight loss, or decreased appetite.
