What unusual foods/tastes (apart from their own anus) do your dogs and/or cats enjoy? I’ll start. Iggy loves a drop of this on a treat or a tasty morsel.
I’ve actually seen debt collectors walking the streets with these on a lead. Smart beasts, I’d seriously consider having one if circumstances allowed.
Many years ago the fire brigade was called to a balcony at a high rise in Salford where the tenant had taken refuge after buying one of those in the local pub. It seemed to get increasingly unhappy after a Pedigree Chum starter, followed by eating half the sofa. The new owner took fright when it then started making a hellish noise while eyeing up the bloke’s legs and sweetmeats….
Cob nuts (big Hazelnuts). We have a tree in our garden and they wait for them to drop, crack them open, eat the nuts and leave the shells all over the lawn
I hope you mean in Nigeria, and not Yorkshire!?!? I saw a documentary on the Hyena Men of Northern Nigeria and when you see one on a lead next to a human, the buggers are a lot bigger than they look on the telly when filmed through a long lens running around on Savanah without much to provide a sense of scale.
I'm always really impressed by the African Wild Dog. The way they hunt and communicate is next level. Teamwork, hierarchy and good of the pack, we could learn a lot.
Along with leopards, African Wild Dogs/Painted Wolves (though they aren't true wolves) are my favourite wild animal. One of things I really like about them is that they hold elections about whether to go hunting or not. One dog will start the voting by sneezing and then others join in by sneezing too, and once enough of them are sneezing, they'll set off. Interestingly, the higher a dog is in the pecking order, the fewer "votes" it needs in order to get a hunt going. Iggy often starts sneezing when he's getting pre-walk zoomies, so perhaps it's an ancestral trait that sometimes still gets expressed in domesticated dogs. I also like the fact that they look after their sick and elderly.
Loves his wheels mr Ken pretty sure he’s going to expect to be wheeled about everywhere once he’s fixed too.
Kenny and Norma actually gained a year this week (it was their birthday on 17th - they were born exactly a year apart). I thought Kenny was going to be 8 and Norma 7 but upon checking my records it appears they were only 6 and 5 respectively, so they're now 7 and 6. Not sure what to make if it really, slightly embarrassed i didn't know my own dogs ages, but happy they're a year younger than i thought. Makes it even madder (to me at least) that Kenny got arthritis at such a young age
DW we all do it, I thought moo was younger but had a year longer than thought - On the bright side, think the dogs might forgive you more than me buying my wife a 5th anniversary card for the second year in a row this year!
Bloody hell !!! Supposed to have a dog show this weekend ('Driffield' 4 day Champ show at Rippon race track). It's been abandoned after storm 'Lilian' struck .......
