Canine Catnip?

A random question.

Is there a canine equivalent of catnip?

i once knew a dog that had a fondness for eating cannabis..

..and would wolf down the contents of peoples’ baggies if able to..(everyone had baggies..back then..)

..it would also hassle to be able to eat roaches…

..she was an interesting dog..cool to get high with..

..(it may have been something to do with her eating some tablets of strong lsd..off a table..

..as a youngster..

..(cue owner/loser of the lsd..on hands and knees..

…suddenly noticing the dog with her eyeball really close to a flower..looking at it intently..)

Pigs!! I have five dogs that live for hunting pigs. Not the pit bull terrier stereotype, docile, friendly greyhound crosses. They eat out of your hand, lick you to death. But when they get the scent of a pig they undergo a complete personality change. They will track a pig for a couple of kilometers in the bush, and when they get there they bail them up til I get arrive with the rifle. Bailing is lots of barking, not hanging on, like a sheep dog working sheep.

Some people say it is cruel, that was me until I went on my first hunt. Must be some primal urge, cos I was hooked, along with 25,000 other NZers. And I am now fitter that I have ever been and have got a freezer full of the best organic meat available in NZ.

Do you not think that feeding dogs cannabis to be a form of animal abuse?

I can handle the fact that you are a bludger, I can handle the fact that you are a waste of space but I cannot handle anybody who abuses animals.

You Sir, are the lowest form of life.

I think most dogs are partial to a Postie in the morning….. they will also go crazy over a nice fresh electricity meter reader.

I’ve tried to feed a politician to my dog in the past, but it seems dogs are not, as I thought, cannibalistic.

ffs..it wasn’t my dog..it was a long time ago..

..i just knew the dog..

she was an extremely happy/much loved.. animal..as it turns out..

..who was taken off the streets as a starving stray..

..and who ended her years lying beside a pool in epsom..

..and riding around in the front seat of a bentley..

..fanny dosen’t need any tears shed for her..

..she was an auckland legend..

Damn, petal just beat me to it. But at least it’s brought me some degree of relief… aside from those of other dogs I was beginning to think it was just mine… 😀

Speaking of Labour party people and dogs.

I have three dogs, not one of which is in anyway aggressive, the first candidate to knock on our door was a really nice Shelia from National, we invited her in and the mutts would not leave her alone.

The next political person who knocked on our door was some loser canvasing for the Labour candidate, all three dogs went off their collective faces as soon as I opened the door slightly to see who it was, needless to say they did not gain entry into our home.

That is animal abuse as well…. If you don’t like the concept of consuming meat then don’t have a dog – get a rabbit or something similar.

Grind a few pallets of rat poison into powder, and sprinkle the powder over diced dog roll or other cut of raw meat. Leave in a suitable location. “Rat” infestation will clear up in a few days.

(I hate dogs. Disgusting animals…)

Catnip for Canines. I would say for most a cat would do it.

RRM – works every time.

He don’t need defending, but be nice to philu on this thread, a rare non-partisan (and funny) post. I knew a dog like that too, only without the lsd starter ! Became very unpopular when it wolfed down a large slice of someone’s special cake, and got what must have been the canine equivalent of the munchies,…real bad. So almost the first thumbs up to philu from the Snack.

Dogs can, as far as I’ve seen, survive as vegan, but I never found one who liked it, and most were “accessing” meat elsewhere. Dogs didn’t evolve as herbivores or omnivores, and I would generally agree that vegan is not in their best interests. Cats in my experience won’t survive vegan.

RRM, now you worry me, although for some dogs (like the bastard that attacked me while jogging) that’s a good idea.

The dog that attacked me ( well took a chunk out of my arse while I was out running) some years ago, very quickly became an ex-dog.

To be honest I’ve also known a dog who was very fond of the weed. It’s owner (not me) would light up a splif and the dog would race to his side and snuffle down the smoke as he exhaled. The dog knew if somebody in the room had a stash on them and it would try and snuffle it out of their pockets.

Like the dog you talk about – this one also got a bad dose of the munchies after it had been “smoking”. It was stunning what it would eat after a big session. Entertaining….

burt: “If you don’t like the concept of consuming meat then don’t have a dog”

I started a post on this as well, but even though a dog is a carnivore, it’s also an opportunistic herbivore. Dog roll and the like contain grains, vegetables and pasta.

But yes, the concept of forcing a vegan diet on a dog does seem extreme.

When you take into account the person involved, I decided it wasn’t worth arguing as there is enough proof already that person is irrational on so many fronts, this just blends right on in.

Having said that, if he lived in the right city, I’d know a few activist SPCA officers who would consider that information sufficient reason for a “rescue”.

I used to have a dog who’d go mad for cheese.

But who can afford to feed cheese to a dog these days.

Phil,
Leading with your chin again? I told you about assumptions. You didn’t listen.
Some facts;
1. Dog bit me,
2. I rang Dog control,
3. They found said dog,
4. They established that said dog had bitten a number of others in the area.
5. Dog gets euthenased.
I don’t have a problem with that outcome.
In general I like dogs. I would have one if I had enough space.
Nuff said.
