Re: General discussion on Pet Shack

I witnessed in jamaica dogs eating chicken with the bones I grew up being told you do not give dog bones they will choke on it.

Well I witnessed this dog in JA eating chicken and it was like the dog was chewing the meet off the bones and spitting it out. I swear I never saw anything like that and then going back after to munch on the bones that was spit out

LOL same here, first time I had leftover chicken I was picking it off the bone and the Jamaican grab et outta my han and jus throw the whole of it to the dog. I almost stroke out and yell doggie cyan have chiken bones. He did laugh as doggie was devouring it whole, but I expect to find the poor thing dead next morning, but it ok. I tell you Jamaican dog mussi have cast iron digestive system.

When I lived in the States and had pets, all they got was DRY cat or dogfood....BUT, the cats could come in the house, as I allow them to do here. The dawgs have to stay outside inna mi yawd, and they KNOW it, but they always have shelter in case of rain or storm.....mi nah bizness wid di cats because dem independent....it is just &quot;cat&quot; behavior! (that is why I love dem)....dawgs is anodda story....dawgs NEED people to tek care ah dem, soh, if we adopt dem wi mus tek care ah dem. They really cannot exist in a world without humans (Miya talk the domesticated ones)

What I'm really saying here is &quot;different &quot; cultures just deal with things differently. I have no problem with that, as long as I'm not seeing animals beaten for no reason.

Jamaica has a climate where it is not necessary for animals to live inside, so that is not even an issue, but mistreatment is an issue....I won't go into it now, but I think some of you know wha miya talk.

Anyone remember the lady on herE who moved to Jamaica and she got into a world of trouble because she wanted to bury a little doggie that had died in the local cememtary because she thought it was fitting? What happened to her anyway. She always talked about having to get up and sweep worlds of mud out of the house and seems she was always cleaning cleaning and working very hard....did she last?? I think she had married a Rasta man or something., but i DIGRESS FROM THE SUBJECT AT HAND

I wouldnt be surprised if they get their other dawg frens to slap them on the back to dislodge the bone,jamaican dawg is the only animal I see that knows when to take certain bush to have a wash out.
