Flatulent dogs.

Many years ago I had some abdominal surgery and had to be on antibiotics.These gave me terrible flatulence(something I don't normally have).
Because of my scar I was a bit slow on my pins......I was getting up to take my bum gas to the toilet for release but didn't make it. It was the first time in 21 years of marriage that my husband heard me break wind...he was shocked and I was embarrassed.
I still take my bowel gas to the lav....it was what I was taught to do....good manners and all that.

That made me laugh Margaret. It's always been the case that men find trumping highly amusing, but only when it's one of them doing the trumpeting! When it's a lady (accidentally) the look of disbelief is a sight to behold!p:eek:
 
Our owd get cant eat biscuits now, so we been feeding him rice wi pilchards in oil n he aint farting half as much since we have been doing that.

Why?:confused: Oscar loves em n mackeral or sardines, always get em in oil though, he craps fine off those, he struggles otherwise owd gits nearly 16 n his back legs sometimes collapse when having one if its hard work,
 
I'm worried about entering new aromas in to his diet/bowels. We may have to paint a big cross on the front door! I think I'm going to make one of those pointy nose masks stuffed with flowers and herbs to ward off the miasma.:eek:
 
This is a bit of a thread wander, but I think it might make you chuckle.
Our cat Pasha is 15, getting a bit fussy over food. Himself bought her some tinned sardines as a treat. Himself loves tinned sardines in oil......he was putting some into her dish for her, using the pet fork that we use for her tinned cat food. He put some sardines into the dish, then ate some himself using the pet fork that had been used to put tinned cat food in her dish.......when he realised what he had done, he spit the sardine into the sink and took a gulp of mouthwash.
 
My dad used to say -
"Let the wind go free and be shamed or blast your puddings and be lamed"

One of the joys of living alone is being able to let rip when needed :D
 
Mine used to say - it's better to fart and stink a little than keep it in and be a cripple.
 
I've never found breaking wind a topic of conversation with my female friends though men find it highly amusing. When I was a teenager I had a massive crush on my older brothers' mate until he showed me his 'party' trick with his bum and a lighter. My ardour died at that very moment!:eek::eek:
 
When I was an impressionable student nurse way back in the early seventies,I was on night duty on a surgical ward when a young man was brought in with hideous burns to his bum end. I could not believe that chaps would light their own bum gas!
Shows what a sheltered life I led.
I was at the end of my allocation and never found out if the guy healed well....or whether he needed further surgical intervention.
They were on a stag night and this trick was the chaps party piece.....he ended up with a cremated ring piece.
 
You get out what you put in. If your feed rubbish you get a lot of rubbish out. I am sure you know what I wanted to put instead of rubbish.
I know a lot of people that have their dogs on a BARF diet. Basically raw meat and meaty bones with other stuff thrown in as well. All those I know say the dogs defecate a lot less and it is firm. Think back to the old days and people talking about white dog muck.

Yes dogs can eat most raw meat but is has to be fed in the correct proportions. Dogs are carnivores and designed to eat meat not biscuits.

Sorry about this Facebook link, this is a group of very helpful barf feeder, several of them I have met. Don't be put off by the disgusting sounding things their dogs eat, just because you wouldn't want to eat some of them doesn't mean dogs don't love them https://www.facebook.com/groups/266514603448892/

Here is a link to a site that sells natural food for dogs Natural and raw food for dogs and cats | Natures Menu

Feeding anything except the dogs food is not a good idea, you said other people feed your dog scraps because he is greedy but do you know what they are giving him? Have a read of this document compiled by the Dogs Trust you might be surprised by the things that are poisonous to dogs like onion - how many people are feeding left overs with onion in? http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/az/factsheetsanddownloads/factsheetpoisonoussubstances09.pdf
