*Some* people classify dogs as ‘omnivores’ but that’s only true insofar as they’ll cheerfully eat the gut sack of any prey they get hold of.
I’m not sure that really qualifies.
The addition of corn and soy was the downfall of generally good dog health, many years ago.
How many times has anyone seen a wolf or coyote standing in a corn or soy field, smacking its lips with anticipation?
[yeah, *never*...unless rabbits were in the field, too]
Ironically, both of Odhinn’s vets cringe when I mention his raw, bloody meat habit.
They worry it could “hurt” him or “make him sick”.
The stomach acid of a dog can handle rotted carrion, even though, of course, I wouldn’t feed less than fresh.
The whole world has gone wimpy and they want to take the dogs with them.
Pitiful.
Thanks for the compliment...petting him is like stroking fine black satin.
:)
LOL!
That was his childhood “coyote buddy” that he carried everywhere.
He was laying on the bed with it in his mouth when I gave him the flank steak so he put the steak on the coyote and ate it there.
[he never left the coyote go for fear the girls would grab it and run off with it]
One day, he must’ve decided he’d outgrown ‘childish toys’ and ripped its face off.
He carried the body around for a few more weeks and then dicarded it.
[not sure what all that ‘meant’]
;D
The ripping off of the face is symptomatic of canine adolescent rebellion. When you refused to be intimidated by such feats, he took it to the next level-—hiding the body.
;-)
Huh.
And here I thought he just got tired of having the filthy, wretched thing in his mouth...LOL
