Addressed to some of other dog keepers besides... myself.

Just a thought....which came upon me.

And what if... i thought, as canniness have an extremely short digestive track and hardly designed to eat ...anything...besides meat. We'll, i guess offal is in the same family.

I have noticed in the past and with previous dogs i have lived with or around that some would have typical digestive crisis's and which i would think was a form of irritable bowel or some such.

Of course, the vets would ALWAYS say: That dogs got worms!  So of course you would worm the suckers and Dammed if they just didn't keep up chucking or... what ever.

Then so they could keep on charging and get the last word. "This dog has garbage gut". And of course the implication being ....GUILTY! and they would charge you for that aswell.

Now when you are living with any number of dogs and only one in the pack of:  "I will eat anything and that's if it's smells really bad" category then s/he gets up-chuck sick or maybe worse and especially in-doors.

And you get to wondering....when you are feeding them all out of the sack! .....Sack food, just isn't cutting it for Ole Frisky.

As far as i can recall from way back with the dogs on the ranch and in the thirties, they never saw a sack of grain based food. We fed them as best we could or they went hunting.

And in town it was meat scraps from the butcher and the table scraps with sour milk included and then sometimes with oats added, was what they got--- period!

Oats don't seem to induce a gluten reaction in animals like us... and they also cook quicker than anything else in the morning.

Now the down side for the dog maybe the same as for the keepers who experience Celaic Disease.

A very long list of possible health issues that are not really explainable and then you may say to yourself; This all can't be the vets other catch all: 'bad' genes.

And the question for us and which you can share with the wags: How would dogs be making it!  If all they past along to the next generation was 'bad' genes and the ability to frequently vomit on the bed or the rug?

Hey this is deep and it's something to ponder the next time you find yourself manning the broom and a dust pan for Ole Frisky.

And NO, he is not hurt and upset watching you as he is hoping you are planning on sharing and not keeping it all for yourself.

So see you can learn allot from your dog about sharing. Sit, Sit, Barf! good boy!

We are in this together.
