WOOOF!

The Doggie Ping list is for FReepers who would like to be notified of threads relating to all things canid. If you would like to join the Doggie Ping Pack (or be unleashed from it), FReemail me.

We bought two smoked pigs feet for our two. The ‘small’ dog is a 100 pound pyrenees/chow mix and the other one is a 140 pound great dane female. The feet will be completely gone in 10 minutes or so.

Happy Thanksgiving, Joe.

Thank You for the Doggie pings.

My dog is partial to lamb lungs. When I buy a bag of them, I have to put them on top of the refrigerator and he'll sit dolefully looking up at them. When the bag is empty, I have to separate if from all the other trash or he'll root through the garbage just to pull the bag out and lick it, lol...

In my dog's world, they are the equivalent of crack cocaine, heroin and crystal meth...

15 scripts and 13 trackers? It isn’t worth the effort to sort through to what I’d need to authorize to make the slideshow work.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

My Golden will get a mixture of some white meat and a few carrots, covered with salmon oil.

We have a ritual at our house. Every night after dinner, my dogs get left overs. They have to line up and sit quietly all 4 of them, very difficult for JRT’s. Then I spoon feed each one whatever is left on our plates. They even love vegetables and salad. When I hold up both hands they know that treat time is over.

Remember SNOT and Cousin Eddie!

LOL...The sad thing is, I work with Cousin Eddie.

I know, I know, don’t give them any bones. At least not anything that isn’t cattle bones. Geesh.

It isn’t worth the effort to sort through to what I’d need to authorize to make the slideshow work.

Agreed. Pages like these piss me off. They inevitably link their adware tracker to the slideshow making it impossible to play with the blacklists I have configured.

Our cat’s bowl was in the kitchen. But when she got a nice piece of chicken or turkey, she would take it into the dining room to eat it.

[Faith65]

I have never seen those. Are they a USA product? Wondering if my pup might like those.

[Lurking Libertarian]

Happy Thanksgiving to all doggies and their humans!

Our Chihuahua does a circus dog Meerkat beg that scores everytime. We have given up. LOL!

Our cat just helps itself. My wife was thawing some giblets on the kitchen counter when she had to leave the kitchen for a few minutes.

When she came back, the cat was on the counter, having clawed through the plastic covering on the giblet package, and he had a chicken liver, dripping with blood in his mouth.

Knowing he was busted, he scrambled off the counter and ran down to the basement with this bloody thing in his mouth and hid behind the washing machine to finish it. In a few minutes, he came back upstairs, purring and rubbing against my legs.

Every year, a couple pieces of lean white meat for my dog and she’s in doggie hog heaven.
