Haha, this has made me giggle. The other day, I gave each of my two a peanut to try. Willow ate hers straight up, Shadow spat his out in my hand. Before I even realised what I was doing, I had popped it into my own mouth. Hmmm. Maybe our relationship is a little too close...
Our neighbor with the Sammy feeds him (Loki) at the table with a fork. The same one she uses. I'm afraid all of our dogs have learned to use forks, but still struggle with spoons.
Our first Lab was a rescue and had a tendency to chase small animals. When our son was about 8 she dragged him across a gravel path on his hands and knees. A lot of scrapes but no long term damage. We had a neighbor that had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, that jumped up and split my wife's lip with her nose and or teeth. She had to have a couple of stitches at the ER. (The doc chose the thread color to match the dress she was wearing to a banquet the next night.) Many years ago, my Malamute bit me, but just enough to let my know I had invaded his space. We had an agreement about fresh bones, and I violated it. That is one reason I have Labs now. For reasons that I don't understand, our dogs have never had fleas. I don't normally use flea meds, and our vet has confirmed on several occasions that they don't have any fleas. I use a flea comb just to check once in a while, but I never find any signs of fleas. Pretty much the same with Ticks, but our vet says that Ticks are very localized and there aren't a lot in the Willamette Valley. We are headed back to the Midwest this week and I just treated the dogs with Frontline just to be safe.
Doug got old and so did my bladder I used to nearly wet myself when I had to lift him into the back of the car he was really heavy. I've eaten loads of dog food and products over the years and on one occasion cow poo when on of my dogs rolled and shook near me. Always always keep you mouth shut when they shake.. Its best if you just so't think about it, just think of living with dogs is a way of building a good immune system. At this rate I should be able to survive anything
I'm with you in this club. Shadow rolled in very wet cow poo. It was dripping from him. This photo doesn't do it justice... I put him in a stream to wash him off, but as I was doing so, he shook, covering me - including the inside of my mouth - with cow poo.
Benson once ate half a tub of butter spread. I caught him before he could finish. Glanced at the tub, gave it a bit of a wipe and stuck it back in the fridge......
No, @Bensons-dad is a bit funny about dogs licking things...he gets really miffed if Benson gets stuff in the dishwasher...and hates it when Casper tries to lick his plate.
When my Aunty was young, she use to work where they made jelly babies. She would never buy them for her children, because of what they did at work. If any of the mixture fell on the floor, they would just scoop it up and put it back in
