So, Rocky comes inside the house about 10 mins ago, and plops onto the loveseat that's next to my computer desk. I hear him chewing on something. I figure it's a left over piece of paper or dryer sheet he stole from me (don't ask).
Any way, he spits out the thing onto the floor. It lands with a definate "plop". I look over and see something dark brown or black on the floor. So, I'm thinking he dragged another mud ball in. I pick it up, and it's squishy!!!!
That darn puppy was chewing on a slug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sooooooo grossed out right now!!!!! I got a kleenex and threw the thing out--outside in a trash bag, not in the house. I don't know if the slug is dead now or what, and quite frankly I don't care--as long as it's not inside my house!!!!
Puppies.....ya gotta love 'em..........sigh.......  |

Salt kills slugs because they're nothing but crawling mucus membranes. And a bit seasoning would be good on that baby And some butter and garlic. Like escargot. Your puppy has taste!  |

Yep... and that's how they get parasites.
Nothing beats a kong with a kookie to keep a doggie busy chewing.
Remember that dogs need to exercise their jaws (especially if you have a JRT like we do).
My Eddie loves his kong and when we are too busy to play with him, we give him his kong with a vegetarian kookie to keep him busy and happy and to keep him from finding his own "snacks".

one of Eddie's favourite snacks are dug up from the kitty litter.
This is especially distressing because its another source of parasites AND since Eddie is allergic to protein... we have to be particularly vigilant.
That's why our two cats have taken up residence in the basement - we need to segregate the cats, the cat food, and the kitty boxes from Eddie.
The two other sources for the off limits protein is the dishwasher (Eddie loves to lick the plates) and the garbage.
His last two recent back to back allergic reactions came from at least two of those sources.
Given that JRT's are very clever, sometimes he outsmarts us and then its 3 weeks of lick sores. He will lick himself bald around the base of his tail and his joints.
Then he becomes very self - conscience about it and doesn't like to mingle with other dogs when he's having an outbreak. He'l like a teenager with a bad case of acne.
Same for fleas - which means avoiding dog runs (and he adores dog runs).
So he's bathed monthly and we change out his flea collar every month (I don't believe they last 3 months like they advertise). And then we squirt his back with a special flea retardant which gets into his bloodstream so when he does get a bite from an errant flea, they die and don't propogate.
I can spot a flea on Eddie at 20 paces on account JRT's have sparse and coarse hair and his pink skin is visible. A black dot such as flea, especially one that's on the move is easy to see.
But no matter how much we watch him, somehow sometime... he'll get into a major dig and come inside looking like a ... well happy dog.

Our outside dog, bless her 14 year old heart is a nasty dog. She will eat anything... and I mean anything...
We've caught her chewing on pieces of wood and rusty steel.
She's brought us her kills and laid them in front of us:
- Rabbits
- Birds
- Mice
- The occasional ground hog or beaver
However, by far the worst of her nastiness is the fact that she will pop a squat and squeeze one out, then promptly turn around and eat it.
We've talked to the vet about it and the vet even gave us medication to make the poop seem distasteful but no matter how much of the medication we give her she still will not stop eating it, so we've stopped fighting it. She's a nasty old defecation dilettante, but she is healthy as a horse otherwise... we just don't understand it... and neither does the vet. |

We had a poo eating poodle. She loved the litter box. She was a lovable and nasty old girl, too. My husband said she'd come out the utility room with this beatific look on her face, chewing all the way like she'd won a giant box of Brach's chocolates. Then she'd want to breath in your face and try and kiss on you. If she had a bath she'd run out into the yard and find a piece of poo or a dead bird and roll all over it to restink herself. I guess lavender shampoo just wasn't her idea of perfume. Eu de Poo was her thing.

Vigilance!

Yeah, Mollie went through a poo-eating stage. I got her some pills from the pet store that makes their poo taste icky to them. They're all natural, and darned if they don't work!!!!! We have no more poo-eating at this house!!!
So today Mollie killed her first bird. I went into the backyard and found the poor thing in front of the garage partially alive. I put him out of his misery.....  At least it wasn't a baby bunny!!!! Sammi used to get hold of them---poor bugs bunnies....
Today Rocky is into eating sticks. I'm waiting for him to barf them up. He did that last night in his cage. And the night before that as well as 2 piles o' brown. He got a bath right away, and I had to wash out the cage again. I'll be sooooooo glad when he's out of his puppy-eat-everything stage!!!! Although, Mollie was chewing on a 2X4 yesterday....eesh!!! |

That little dog in the picture below is always sniffing in the garden for snails, slugs and whatever else!
But no poo.....
When we go for a walk he tries to find the most disgusting swampy water to go roll himself in.....hummm......
Doggies are doggies...... |

We used to have a dog when I was little who loved to go roll herself on dead fish when we were on holidays at the beach after a storm.
Oh the beautiful stench of rotten fish......
We'd bath her and as soon as she could she'd escape and come back even more filfy that previously. |

Fish is pretty gaggy, but I think I'd prefer that over the poo! And there's something so rank about dead birds, etc. Sometimes I wonder if it's some carryover from when doggy ancestors would hide their natural scent from other predators or their prey. Oh heck! Maybe they just love the smell of poo and carrion! Nasty little critters! |
