Bob, I think Rattling Dog WAS an RB in the early post-psychedelic era.

*cuts off the truck-nuts and smacks the bot*

[shell]

Who knows. He obviously liked balls. NTTAWWT.

IS THERE ANYTHING DOGS WON'T EAT?

my big stinky dog can answer that question. the answer is no.

[oldmanatee]

Obviously the lady of the manor wasn't such a good cook, if the dog had rather eat golf balls over table scraps.

[Siouxie]

I agree cg. If they can eat their own SH!T, nothing is off limits.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Golf is a good dog walk ruined.

[queensbee]

its a labrador. it was retreiving. sheesh.

[Dr. Bob]

I knew labrador retriever that ate rocks. There's something wrong with the breed. They're not the brightest bulb on the porch. But then again, golf balls may be better than chew toys.

[padraig]

There is NOTHING a labrador won't eat. My former brother-in-law kept a lab in his auto body shop, and I don't think they even had to put out food for him. Just lived on old work gloves and Bondo.

[Annie Where-but-here]

I've had labs all my life and never had them ingest stupid stuff. Smartest dogs ever. I had one that I'd give her a dollar and she'd take it down to the corner restaurant where the chef would make her a 'doggie burger.' (Border collies are pretty smart, too.)

[Margaritaville]

I had a dog that after we taught him to "go outside", would then proceed to pick the $h!t up and bring it back into the house. God, I miss that doggie.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Hmmm...are all these dumb-eating dogs male?

[PirateBoy]

Annie, did she keep the change?

[Dr. Bob]

I'd give her a dollar and she'd take it down to the corner restaurant...
Annie, it probably ate the change.

Our black lab loved to eat lime rock (a very chalky type of rock used for making paths), and cedar. It was a high calcium and fiber diet that made his droppings very interesting.

On another related item, a friend of mine got tired of finding that the golf balls he knocked around the yard kept disappearing. So, he set up a camera to record at night and caught sight of a fox running across his yard and scooping the balls into its mouth.

CJ, you are not Sharon Stone and this is not Basic Instinct, so Stop That!

[Lairbo]

You mean 'anything they won't eat' besides their medications, right?

[fivver]

"Is there anything a dog won't eat?"

Yep. Just put a bowl of scientifically advanced, highly nutritous, breed specific dog food in front of them and they'll look at you like it's arsenic.

[Siouxie]

Is CJ flashing his danglies again??

[fivver]

However, let them anywhere near the cat's litter box...

[Hammond Rye]

I had a dog who would grab anything you threw at her out of the air and eat it before it could hit the ground. I always wanted to throw my car keys at her, but my wife wouldn't let me.

Dave, Judy and all,

On September 19th, "International Talk Like A Pirate Day" is fast approaching. I, for one, shall be in Genoa, Italy, home to the legendary (actually mentioned in the legends of Hercules) "Thyrrenoi Pirates"). If all goes well, I'll be on this http://www.bugbitten.com/photos/Europe/mpinson/Easycruise/95308-16384-3385917.html Pirate Ship. The ship was used in Roman Polanski 1986 movie "Pirates" as "The Galleon of Captain Red" (Walter Matthau) . . . It is located just outside the "Jolly Hotel," in Genoa. No kidding.

On that day, but not now, I will be saying "Arrrrr me buccos."

Your pal,

Gotta get in a Lewis Grizzard joke: Lewis and a buddy were in the stands at a Univ of Georgia game. UGA ran out on the field, plopped down at the 50 yard line and proceeded to lick his uh maleness. His friend turns to him as says, "I sure wish I could do that." Lewis replied, "That dawg'd BITE you!"

[Lairbo]

Roy Blount, Jr. once said that the best way to cure a dog of begging for food at the dinner table was to toss it a raw oyster. I never tried it, myself but I've always kept it in mind as an emergency tactic.

Fivver: I couldn't agree more about the scientifically engineered food being an effective canine repellent, although I'd add "expensive" to the list necessary ingredients.

[jon]

Yeah, I hate when they get all black & swollen...

[Dr. Bob]

...or stick.

[Siouxie]

Doc B?? don't show that to Walter!

[emkay]

You can add Australian Cattle Dogs to the list. Ours got botulism by getting chicken giblets that (unbeknownst to me and forgotten by my husband, who put them there) had been sitting in our sink for six hours. He was lucky, he only ended up with paralyzed hind quarters for a week. Sweet dog, but a total doofus.

TMI, Dr. Bob. TMI.

[emkay]

Okay, yesterday the 'bot kept making my comments disappear - now it's doubling them. Could we sic the black lab on it?

[Clown Puppy]

Maybe the GOP could have used some golf ball eating dogs to clean up after the red, white and blue ones were dropped from the ceiling at their convention. (as reported by Dave)

[BoscoH]

That dumb dog misunderstood the joke. The joke goes... Why do dogs LICK their balls?
