primitives question a dog

Oh my.

You know, the sparkling old dude's the "host" of the pets forum on Skins's island, and he's been laying down on the job for weeks and weeks, not showing up at all.

One wonders what's up with that.

Anyone check the Baltimore obituaries?  The sparkling old dude's pretty old, and had a heart attack a few years ago, and steadfastly refused to lose weight as his doctor ordered him to.

A question about my dog

our dog Ruby refuses to eat 'game' meat , things like venison or wild goose and duck. This came up the other night when I made some venison we had been given for dinner I offered Ruby some and she sniffed it and gave it this sad kind of disturbed look that she gave the body of one of our cats that died a few years back and refused to eat it. She has done this same thing in the past with the meat from game birds too, it's cooked when she's offered it (she won't eat raw meat of any kind) but she will very readily eat any meat purchased from the grocery store as long as its cooked

so the question is how does she differentiate between the two?

a note Ruby is not a small dog she is a 70lb pit/lab mix

1. Intense sense of smell in dogs

Dogs have an amazing ability to smell, we can't even imagine the way they can differentiate smells, so if it smells like something she doesn't like she will know faster than we would and not eat it.

As to why she doesn't like it, I have no idea. Our dog won't chew on bones. She loved marrow bones as a puppy and would work and work to get the soft marrow out but once fully grown she started turning her nose up at them even though most dogs love them. I have no idea what that's about.

2. maybe just because it's something new and different?

Yoshi is always suspicious of anything he's not familiar with. Just today I let him lick out the last molecules from the peanut butter jar, and since he's never had it before he was immediately suspicious. He has to go through a whole examination ritual that can take awhile while he ponders whether or not some new food is tasty. He'll sniff it, stare at it, walk a few circles around it to see if it moves or does anything else weird that food doesn't do, then he'll just hang out with it for awhile until he finally works up the courage to do a taste test. I have no idea why he goes through this ridiculous ritual every time he is given something to eat that isn't familiar especially since he's happy to eat any strange thing he finds on the ground, dirt, rocks, tree bark, road kill, cigarette butts in the gutter, chewed gum mashed into the pavement, etc., etc. I guess if he figures he finds it himself and it's on the ground it's already guaranteed to certified delicious. He's weird. But it's their weird quirks that are so endearing.

Who knows.

The cats out here dine on what's offered them, store-bought or dragged in.

Sometimes cats find fine dining, in the back alley.

Why is the primative offering "game" meat to pets?
When you hunt game, you hunt for you're own needs.

Here's a hint, DUmpmonkey.
Throw it in the backyard.
After the mutt rolles on it for a day or so, he'll eat it.
Then he comes in, and throws up in your shoe.
Have a nice day.

Stinky probably got shut up in the basement for good after somebody saw him in that tutu outfit. 

I bet you by now he's probably pretty deft at picking through the cat box with a fondue fork, looking for cat 'morsels' to eat.

Good to go.

I'm double-sure that is exactly what he's doing right now. 

He's got to find some way to save some money on food, since he's going to be paying more into his income taxes in MD.

No doubt it has more to do with her cooking. Since it's "game meat" she undoubtedly did everything she could to make it not taste as such!

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

Stop serving her the Dinty Moore for a week, she'll acquire a taste for the game.  Also human flesh.

My dogs love game meat and fowl. I'm with thinking that the DUche just prepared it so poorly even the dog said 'WHOA!!"

All the ignorant squatter did is describe a dog that isn't hungry.

If he's hungry, no dog will turn down any type of meat, raw or cooked.

Very few indoor pets are ever allowed to become hungry, and that's the only reason you hear of "picky eaters".

If the squatter falls over dead while Spunkly is off on a lesbo cruise with Mrs. Tutwiler, I guarantee you that picky eater pooch will dine on DUmpmonkey and love it.

My dog delays eating all day hoping for treats other than dogfood in his bowl. Only at night when he sees us in bed will he go to his dogfood and eat. He knows his luck for treats has run out for the day by then.
