It's too serious -- READ MONDO CANINE
Gail E. Brookhart
We need to lighten up around here!
From Mondo Canine by Jon Winokur,
Some of the greatest doggie quotes around, in my opinion and
verified by my pooches, two of the greatest doggies around:
The dog is mentioned in the Bible eighteen times -- the cat not
even once.

tail.

frolic.

than of friends.

on earth!

a dog eat sushi? He just shiffs it and says, "I don't think so."
And this is an animal that licks between its legs and sniffs fire
hydrants.
-- Billiam Coronel

Frozen raw fish is the main food for sled dogs in the north
country, and recall the thread about dogs in the country
eating (possibly contaminated) salmon from streams.

I've had plenty of dogs who like raw fish...'course they didn't eat it ; they
just rolled in it!! The stinkier the better >:-{ And if there is a side
order of fresh seagull shit, all the better. They seem to like to get it
behind the ears like some expensive perfume eau de phew. Liked to roll in dead
skunks too! One day my sammy Toshia gave me a 3 course experience: skunk,
fish, with a followup of fresh seagull poop. I threw her into the harbor
thinking that she would rinse a little of the putrid stuff off, and she sank
right to the bottom of the harbor! I had to jump in and rescue her! She was
sitting on the bottom looking up at me with her mouth wide open! I couldn't
believe it! I figured all dogs could swim. I taught her to swim a little, but
she didn't ever learn to really swim. My sammy pup Gus fell in our pool last
summer and he could barely keep afloat! I guess they never needed to swim in
Mongolia or Siberia; they just walked on frozen water!

How about:
Outside of a dog a book is man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.
-- Groucho Marx
That one must be in there, no? Also, does Winokur have the straight
dope on who said:
I care not for any man's religion whose
dog is not the better for it.
-- attributed to Lincoln
Was it Lincoln? Or who? And is the quote right as I've set it down?

To set the record straight... 'SUSHI' is NOT raw fish... sushi is the
vinegared rice that is rolled or shaped or stuffed. Added ingredients
(on top or rolled inside) the sushi include raw fish, cooked fish/eel,
cooked eggs, fish eggs, veggies, seaweed, etc... a dish of raw, sliced
fish is called SASHIMI.
My cousin's dog, Puni, LOVED sashimi! She would sit beneath the cutting
board as my aunt sliced the fish, hoping, maybe, possibly, some would
slither down to the floor and into her drooling mouth....

Well, OUR dog likes SUSHI, too! We went to the Japanese restaurant
and had some leftover sushi which we brought home. We put it on the
floor. Tasha came up and poked at it for awhile before deciding it
was OK, then she gingerly pulled out the fish-parts and ate them YUM!
Then, she looked at the rice and seaweed and thought they looked
pretty good too, so they soon followed down the hatch.

What a waste of good sushi! Raven would starve before I gave her my
sushi ( big :-D !) Only kidding. My real objection is that she'd never
even taste it. She swallows anything resembling people food whole.
Hmm. Now that you've mentioned sushi, I'm getting a craving for it...

We once got a packet of that fake lobster that they sell nowadays, figuring
that if we didn't like it that the fuzzies could have a treat. I
offered it to the dog ( known to clean out the, ah, delicacies in the cat
box ) and each of the cats. All of them flatly rejected it, and the
fussiest of the 3 didn't even sniff, but bolted for the bedroom.
