The man was shocked by the dogs perfect english so asked the dog his life story. Well says the dog I used to work for the government and would lie next to the Russiaan president and listen to his secret phone calls and report back to the prime minister what he was saying as I also speak perfect russian. Amazed the man continues to listen to the talking dog. Yep says the dog after a while I was moved to Heathrow airport and given the post of head of drug investigation and I trained all the sniffer dogs to find drugs.

Q: How are yard sale prices most effectively set?
If one is selling new with tags clothing, is the pricing different from used clothing in excellent condition?

How does one price expensive items – track lighting that was $2K new or a lighting fixture that was $400 new?

Hardcover books always $2? No matter how expensive originally?

Children’s toys and games? Used but in excellent condition sheet sets for twin beds?

We need to raise as much money as possible, but don’t want to lose a single sale through overpricing.

I’d appreciate any tips for maximizing our return on our yard sale, which will be in our driveway as part of a neighborhood wide yard sale. Our goal is to raise money for our dog’s $500/mo drug habit. (Congestive heart failure and endocarditis)

Thanks for your time and ideas.
Just FYI, no insurance available for this; dogs have the preexisting clause in their insurance, too.

Thanks.

A: The best way to make money at a yard sale is to forget about how much you paid for something. It doesn’t matter to the bargain hunter. If you have something you paid $400.00 for and you think you would to get $150 then a yard sale is not the best place to sell it. Put an ad in the paper for items which are over $100.00

Here $2.00 is a lot for a hard cover book. They usually sell for $1 and paperbacks 10 cents. Nothing worse then having to carry boxes of books back after a sale. Yes there are exceptions but I don’t think I have ever seen a hard cover book sell for more than $5.00 at a yard sale.

Consider combinging items. If you have tons of books make sure you give them a deal like 10 for $1.00 (paperbacks) It’s better than trying to get 10 cents each book. You’ll get rid of them faster.

If you start your sale at 8:00 and by noon you haven’t sold much then you know your prices are too high. It’s also a good idea to wait until noon or half way through the sale to lower your prices. I have a rule that there is no negotiating before 12:00 o’clock. There is the exception for the person who may have bought a number of things from you.

Go to some yard sales in your area to get an idea of what you should do.

Q: Clever Dog?
Man sees ad in paper “Talking dog for sale £1000″ so the guy races round there to buy it.Owner says yea come in the dogs in the kitchen,guy goes in n says hello how are you, dog says i’m ok thanks to which the guy thought f*** me it can talk.So what have you done with your life the guy says,dog says well to start with i was a guide dog,knew every inch of London,then i went to the army bomb squad,lost count of the number of explosives i found,then onto the drug squad sniffed out millions of pounds worth of drugs,then on to Mi5 then to Mi6 and when i was too old i finished up with this guy.Man goes back to guy and says that dog is brilliant but can i just ask you why you want rid of him to which the guy replies “cos i’m F*****g sick of the lyin B*****d

A: Heard it before…but it is still a Great Joke! LOL!!!

Q: Are Karl Rove tactics terrorist tactics?
Under Rovian politics you do not argue with the political position of your opponent. Here is what you do (and this has played out in local elections time and time again): – you don’t defeat them – you destroy them, and you make them sorry they ever lived.

You sabotage their headquarters, flood their gatherings with homeless people, disconnect their phones, flood them with phony magazine subscriptions, destroy their credit, harass their children in school, set their cars on fire, put “For Sale” signs in their front lawns, photoshop them into photos with prostitutes, make their wives and children feel embarrassed that they ever knew him, run him out of town on rails, file phony suits against their businesses, break into their offices to take important stuff, and to plant even more important stuff, disconnect their cell phones, set off fire works in front of their houses at 3 o’clock in the morning, report them to the IRS, threaten or buy off their current employer, blackmail current employers into firing the candidate, send him emails with child pornography and then call the law on him, find the ex-wife and pay her lots of money to start making wild charges, steal their pet dog, plant drugs in their car, create phony and highly scandalous MySpace, Facebook, and other websites, bombard his computer with every known virus amd keyboard logger known, have his power disconnected, plant false entries into his credit record, mail bizarre and weird letters purportedly from him and on his letterhead to all sorts of members of the community, put their phone numbers on the walls of bathrooms at truck stops, steal the license plate of his car and put it on another car that is involved in crime.

Since Rove politics are not dead, does that make him a terrorist?

A: No – you need a dictionary.

edit: oh, and an increased lithium prescription.

Q: What does this dream mean?
At work a sales rep brings in a client for a tour of our facility without letting us know. They walk by my desk and I’m not wearing a shirt. I’m a little upset there wasn’t any notice, grab a jacket and try to cover that I was topless. Later that day the sales rep is worried that there are drugs in the department I work in so the company hires a drug dog to come in and sniff around. The drug dog is a little white fluffy dog and the dog walker is an old lady. They walk around and don’t find anything and are on their way out the door. When I see them leaving I run out to my car and ‘lucky for me’ find a bag of marajuana and bring it into my department and drop it in the corner with my jacket on top. The drug dog turns around and walks straight to it. Personnel from the company talk about what to do and know that the jacket is mine. They however want to make sure and say they’re going to give me a drug test. I know it’ll come up negative so I say that it is mine then I’m fired.

A: Dreams are symbolic for phases or things you are going through in your life. It sounds like a stress dream to me. And also, that you might be intentionally sabotaging yourself. I am not quite sure why. Maybe you secretly are not happy with your job and want something different. Look over the details of this dream, and think in terms of your life. What are you afraid of? What are your goals? Are you afraid of being found out?
You will begin to understand your dream better by doing this. So good luck!

Q: Can you sale animal medicine with no license?
What would happen if I sold animal herbs “independently”? Me and my friend Hakim grow Valerian, a relaxant drug. We are gonna try to sale it on our block since there are alot of dog owners. We already gave some to Mr. Crawford. Our stuff is grown with dried roots and then sugar coated so that the dog continues to crave it so the owner keeps coming back for more. Me and Hakim call it names like “pink kiss”, “wet dog”, “trippy”, and “white house”. We grew a trippy plant 3 feet tall.

A: No. It’s illegal, and you don’t know if it’s safe or not. You know that if you sell a drug product to owners and that drug causes an illness to their pet because of you, you can get screwed…it’s not healthy for the dog, dog’s owner, and you. #1, you’re not even a professional with dog medicine? #2, you didn’t test it and don’t even dare test it on a dog or any other animal, because you can go to juvenile or jail for that? And #3, the dog’s owner can literally sue you if that medicine is not good for the dog and causes a sickness? I’m just warning you, but yeah…

Q: Why is NAACP equating Dogfighting with hunting?
They have set the black man back 50 years!
Dog fighters are often involved in the sale and possession of drugs, as well as illegal weapons. Dog fighters and spectators have a history of violent and criminal behavior towards people. 
Dog fighting is another entertainment activity for gangs. 
They train them on small dogs and cats to fight. Many times they steal them out of yards when people leave their pets out unattended all day. They end up as Pit Bull bait dogs. Also “free-to-good-home” animals can also end up for bait dogs. They’ll tape the bait dog’s mouth shut and just let the Pit kill them.
JAMES YOU SAID IT!

Where’s the “hunting” in dogfighting?
Brilliant-Thanks.

A: They are trying to vindicate Vick’s actions using the arguement, “Well (mainly white) people hunt and kill animals all the time for sport….But when a BLACK man kills (or, in this case, arranges for the killing of) animals for sport, The Media and “The Man”, throw The Book at him!”

There are SO many things wrong with this position.

Hunting, for starters, is hardly an exclusive white sport. Look at some of the folks icons on this sight. We have black hunters right here on answers! The U.S. , in all of her wonderous diversity, is ONLY 12% black. My statistic is old, and there may be a few percent difference currently, but my point will still show itself so bear with me. If you visited a well intergrated city that was 12% black, 60% white, the remainder being of all other ethnicities, you will see more white people walking down the street than black people. It’s just the math. Similarly, if you go out to the woods to see hunters, you will see mainly hunters who are white. But it gets even more complicated here. Demographically the U. S. isn’t thouroughly and evenly mixed by race in all areas. A large percentage of blacks live in urban areas. Rural areas tend to be of either mostly black or mostly white folks, but there are numerically more rural areas consisting of mainly white communities. If we visited the hunting woods in Louisana or Mississippi, we’d see more black hunters than white ones, for in some places, Black people are more predominate than Whites. I don’t know what percentage of the country hunts. I’d guess that it’s a solid 30%. Of that number, I’d hazzard to guess that it’s about 18% black, 75 %white the remainder being of other races. That means that a larger percentage of blacks hunt than the percentage of blacks in the population!
But the point is, just because if you could stand all the hunters in the country in one place and look at them you’d see mostly white faces, doesn’t mean that black people don’t hunt!

That being said, hunting is not a white man’s sport.
It belongs to us all, equally.

Hunters HUNT wild animals.
REAL HUNTERS know that they call it hunting, because there is no guarantee that on any given day you go hunting, that you will even catch sight of your prey. Wild animals have an excellent chance to elude any and all hunters. Think about it. We have limits and guidelines to ensure the animals we have reproduce and thrive will continue to do so in perpituity.
MOST wild animals never encounter a hunter. Even if they do, they still can and often do, successfully evade the hunter.
Many hunts end up with the score ” Home – 1 , Visitor – 0.”.

Dog fights don’t work that way.
Dogs are domesticated animals,
Bred to trust men.
There IS no HUNT.
There IS no evasion.
There’s ALWAYS a kill.
For the sake of witnessing violence.
And BETTING MONEY on it.
It’s not sport.
There’s no sport in forcing an animal to kill or be killed for gambling purposes.

Furthermore, Don’t assume dog fighting is a black activity,
While it may be gaining in popularity among gang types, it’s appeal has been mostly regional. Like Hunting, if you could see all the folks involved in dog fighting, you’d see MOSTLY whites. I’m pretty sure we started it. The free men of Rome were predominately white, and I believe dogfighting originated in this gladitorial enviornment.

There is no connection whatsoever between the sport of hunting and the crime of dogfighting.

Mr Vick was no arrested for any reason concerning race or hunting. He was arrested because he broke the law in a most inhumane manner, and,
…… when he gets off with less time than he deserves, it’s because he is RICH and FAMOUS, not because of civil rights concerns.

Q: Math and Stats Help.?
3. Suppose that a drug-sniffing dog barks 95% of the time when drugs are present and barks 15% of
the time when drugs are not present. Suppose that 4% of students at a small school have drugs in
their lockers.
a) What is the probability that the dog will bark while sniffing a randomly selected locker?
b) If the dog barks at a locker, what is the probability that the locker actually contains drugs?

4. For a certain auction house, suppose that 80% of its items are sold at regular sales (the
remainder being sold at specialty sales). Additionally suppose that 15% of items are sold for more
than their appraised value. Finally, 60% of items at specialty sales are sold for more than their
appraised values. Suppose an item is selected from this auction house at random. Define event A =
{sold at specialty sale} and event B = {sold above appraised value}.
a) Are the events A and B independent? Support your answer with appropriate probabilities.
b) What is the probability that the item will be sold at a specialty sale and will be sold for more
than its appraised value?
c) Are the events A and B mutually exclusive (disjoint)? Support your answer with appropriate
probabilities.
d) Determine the probability that the selected item is not sold at a specialty sale but is sold for
more than its appraised value.

A: 3) Let’s start by listing the four possible combinations and the associated probabilities:

no drug in the locker, no barking: 0.96 * 0.85 = 0.816
no drug in the locker, barking: 0.96 * 0.15 = 0.144
drugs in the locker, no barking: 0.04 * 0.05 = 0.002
drugs in the locker, barking: 0.04 * 0.95 = 0.038

(Note a good check to see our math is correct is that when we add up all the probabilities we should always get 1.)

For 3a, the answer is the sum of the two probabilities above where the dog barks, i.e. 0.144 + 0.038 = 0.182 or 18.2% chance of barking at any random locker.

For 3b, we need to look at how much of the chance the dog is barking is due to there actually being drugs. This is 0.038/0.182 or approximately 20.9% chance there is drugs in the locker when the dog barks.

4) The wording here is just a little bit less precise than I would prefer. For the sentence “Additionally suppose that 15% of items are sold for more than their appraised value” I would normally take that to mean the overall percentage of all items sold above appraised value is what it is referring to. But since it followed a statement about items being sold at regular sales, it *might* have been meant to only apply to regular sales. This doesn’t make a big difference in answering the questions, except for 4d.

For 4a) no, A and B are not independent. If they were, then one would expect there to be the same percentage of items sold above appraised value as in regular sales. Since this is obviously not the case, they aren’t independent. The exact figures for the probabilities involved would depend on the meaning of the one sentence I am uncertain about (see 4d below for info about it that should help you do this).

BTW, note that this does not actually prove a casual relationship, as we don’t know if the items sold at the special auctions were randomly selected, or if there was special criteria for their selection, i.e. that they might have been selected because it was expected they would sell better there than at a regular sale. But I think we are meant to assume they are randomly selected.

For 4b) chance of being in a special sale is 1 – 0.80 = 0.20 and the chance of it being sold for more than appraised value is 0.60, so the probability of any one item being sold at a special sale and for more than the appraised value is 0.20 * 0.60 = 0.12 = 12%

For 4c) no, they are not mutually exclusive. If the were, the probability of them occurring together would be 0. However we showed in 4b that it was 12%.

For 4d) I will first show the “easy” solution of assuming the wording was poor in the example. That is the chance of selling at a regular sale is 0.80 and the chance of selling above appraisal is 0.15, so the chance of this is 0.80 * 0.15 = 0.12 or 12%.

However, as the problem actually reads, the overall percentage of items sold at above appraised value is 0.15. So we need to calculate the percentage of items sold at regular sale that are sold above the appraised value. Let this percentage be x. Then
.8 * x + .2 * .6 = .15
That is the percentage of items sold above appraised value in both regular and special sales must be 15% of the overall sales. So
.8x + .12 = .15
.8x = .03
x = .0375 (or 3.75%)

So the probability that the selected item is not sold at a specialty sale but is sold for more than its appraised value would then be 0.80 * 0.0375 = 0.03 or 3%.

Q: Need advice about a dog?
My ex best friend had 2 English Bulldogs a male and female. His girlfriend used to take care of them and he did nothing. He got into drugs and drinking so i stopped hanging out with him as i am not into that lifestyle. Well he called me today saying he wanted a board game he left at my house back, and he told me he sold the male bulldog my favorite one like 3 days ago. He knew i loved that dog anyways i cant just get a puppy because i live at home and my dad says i cant have one because we have 2 Chihuahuas. My dad heard about this and he said i could keep this dog if i could find it. I think i will call my friend tomorrow and ask for the womans phone number but im a little unsure of what to say to her. I REALLY loved this dog he is a great perfect dog so what are some ways she might sale him to me i am going to offer he $200-$300 more then she paid. Any advice would be a huge help. Thanks.
He is a very friendly dog as is my chihuahuas so that wont be a problem my dad just dont want too many dogs in the house.

A: Turn on the waterworks and hopefully she’ll give in.

Q: Neighbors selling dogs often?
Ok so there is a neighbor down the street who has had several different kinds of dogs in the past few months. He looks like bad news to me… fights with people in the streets, let’s his dogs run loose, cops constantly around his house…. he doesn’t work.. I think he is a drug dealer or somethin.. but anyways.. I can’t physically avoid walking by his house so I’ve noticed that he is always havin different dogs for sale. First he had pit bull puppies – he had a male pit tied up on a chain all the time and he let the female mom run loose … she actually tried to attack my dog once.. and then they disappeared after they sold all the puppies. Next they had a chihuahua, he ran loose and haven’t seen him since. Now they have a Shih Tzu that they have posted a sign for sale for $200.. they always let that run loose too and it follows my dog. Is there anything I can report them for? They always call the shih tzu back if they see it following me but it seems like they’re stealing dogs and selling them or something. BTW I’m not trying to profile someone but I live in a rough area and it’s pretty obvious……
oh and they had a big cage full of black puppies for one day outside for sale and then I never saw them again. that was last weekend.

A: It is common in shelters to get “throw away moms” dumped off. These are female dogs who have obviously given birth just recently and were used strictly as a breeding machine and after the pups are born/sold, they have no purpose for the dog anymore and dump it at the shelter. These sweethearts are often not adopted because of their sagging breasts. It is really ashame. Some of the sweetest dogs we get in are these mommas.

Via microchips that hadn’t been updated, we have found many of these dogs were “pure breed” intact (not spayed) dogs given away for free, often on Craigslist. Bad people search these sites seeking free female and male dogs who aren’t neutered just so they can breed them.

I suggest contacting animal control. Take notes on dates and times of every issue, including the selling of puppies and having dogs roam free.

I know people are leary of calling animal control because they are afraid the dogs won’t be adopted and will be put down. There are fates worse than euthanasia and it sounds as if these dogs are living it.

If you are ever not sure if something you have witnessed is illegal, it is best to call animal control and let them assess the situation.

Q: Do you really think “snitches” are bad?
In the case of Michael Vick, I think those guys are heros.

Dog fighters are often involved in the sale and possession of drugs, as well as illegal weapons. The weapons are present due to the large amount of cash present for betting upon the matches. 
Dog fighters and spectators have a history of violent and criminal behavior towards people. 
Dog fighting is another entertainment activity for gangs.

A: No. If you hadn’t been doing something to get snitched on, there’d be no snitches.

Besides, what do you expect? People betting on dogfights, breeding dogs to fight, kill dogs who loose aren’t exactly the most moral and ethical in the country. if you choose them as your friends and crew, why the hell would you be surprised when they turn on you?

Vick is an idiot in so many ways.

Q: What should I do about this ****** at my school!?!?!?!?
I’ve been telling kids at my school that i am selling some stuff at my house this weekend and one of them did something that has made me pissed. He posted my address on Craigslist and said that my birds and dogs were for sale and that we had guns and drugs to sell in our house! None of which is true! Tommorrow, I plan to go to my school and blindside this kid with a punch to the face and then beat him senseless (away from the teachers of course). What would you do?
A guy came to my house and actually asked me for my birds! I am going through Hell right now and my parents are angry at me!

A: lol!!!! im sorry but thats funny. i wouldnt beat him up but i would cuss him out in front of all his friends

Q: What should I do about this A-hole at my school!?!?!?!?
I’ve been telling kids at my school that i am selling some stuff at my house this weekend and one of them did something that has made me pissed. He posted my address on Craigslist and said that my birds and dogs were for sale and that we had guns and drugs to sell in our house! None of which is true! Tommorrow, I plan to go to my school and blindside this kid with a punch to the face and then beat him senseless (away from the teachers of course). What would you do?
A guy actually came from Baltimore and asked us to show him my birds! My parents are angry with me and I am going through h*** right now

A: DO NOT punch him, or beat the sh!t out of him. You could get suspended, expelled, or incarcerated, as that is assault, and you don’t want to go to prison for something HE did. You have to be smarter than that. You need to confront him about this, but do it in a resposible way; be sure to maintain your decorum when you do confront him. I know it’ll be tempting to sock him and knock the living daylight out of him, but you have to think about what might happen if you do punch him. You should not sink to his level. You need to just confront him about this.

Q: Salmonella – has anyone’s dog ever actually got sick from it?
In light of yet another recall of dog products due to salmonella and always hearing warnings about how ‘dangerous’ raw meat and eggs are I got to wondering.

I know that there was recently a kibble recall after some owners fell ill but I’ve never heard of a dog actually getting ill from salmonella. I’m not talking about finding it in stool samples because nearly 40% of dogs will show salmonella when tested BUT actual full blown illness.

FDA Health Alert for Certain Pet Treats Made by Pet Carousel

For Immediate Release: Nov. 5, 2009
Products may be contaminated with Salmonella

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is issuing this health alert to warn consumers not to use Pig Ears and Beef Hooves pet treats manufactured by Pet Carousel because the products may be contaminated with Salmonella.

The products were distributed nationwide in both bulk and retail packaging for sale in pet food and retail chain stores. Pet Carousel is based in Sanger, Calif.

So my question is – has your dog ever been ill with salmonella and was the origin of the pathogen traced back to anything in particular?
Or have you personally ever had it? what from?

A: Fantastic Debate – I love this one! Always interesting with loads of controversy.

Everyone freaks out about salmonella. It is actually rarer then you might think.

There will be problems and disagreements with feeding, as long as dogs have mouths and stomachs and require nutrition to survive!! Not everyone will agree… ever!

For every chipped tooth because of a raw bone – there will be the argument of tartar and rotten teeth falling out from commercial food.

For every bowel impaction from a bone, there is bloat from feeding dry etc and so on. (I won’t even bother to mention the negatives on cooked bones).

For every anti raw feeder there will be an anti commercial feeder. There are no doubt pros and cons for each. It never ends. I won’t go into the debate on feeding veggies or not either – I will leave that for another time!

The trick is deciding what YOU as an individual would prefer to choose. Each to their own!!

My dogs have eaten raw meat and bones for nearly 4 decades as well as dry food in the past too. And yes back many many years ago, they even used to get to horrible old raw meat that my mum found in the back of the fridge and deemed unsuitable for human consumption (yikes). I think decades ago we were all less aware and concerned. And no. I never saw a dog sick from it (there may have been the odd upset tummy that I was unaware of, but that’s all). I am much more conscientious then my parents were about meat quality for my dogs (in the 70’s I think my families dogs were considered part garbage disposals – lol). And no we have never had a bowel impaction, perforation, vet visit or even a chipped tooth from feeding raw meat or bones! This is not to say it couldn’t happen. But I think things just get blown out of proportion.

These days my dogs eat chicken, turkey, brisket, lamb, fish, offal etc etc… All raw. All high quality. No ill effects.

Dogs have a very different digestive system to humans and can’t be compared to us really as people often try to do. They CAN cope with salmonella better then we can.

Petstores sell puppy mill pets – I got a bit confused reading your post? Sorry! This is not meant as a criticism or to be condesending. I would just like some clarification.
You said that your dog got sick from cooked commercial food. But then you said that raw is bad.
Are you against commercial and raw?
Did I misunderstand?
Which do you feed then?

Also – Chimpanzees most definitely eat meat as well as plant matter. A true omnivore. They can be incredibly vicious and brutal hunters and will even eat other monkeys and often hunt in packs like other meat eaters, they have even been known to perform cannibalistic acts on rivalling groups. They eat everything and anything just like us. However, as similar as we may be to them… we no doubt would be dead from salmonella if we ate their same diet, with raw meat etc. I am not exactly sure what you were trying to explain there. Although theoretically we eat many similar things too (meat, fruits etc). But again, I have no doubt our digestive systems etc are adapted very differently now. Theirs like a dog, can obviously handle more bacteria then ours.

And as genetically different as you say dogs may be to wolves… we are talking SPECIFICALLY digestive systems here. And I am not sure there is research for that specifically, DNA or otherwise? I would go as far to say, that dogs and wolves digestive systems are probably closer than the digestive systems of humans and chimps. Does that make sense? After all we would die from salmonella if we ate animal carcasses and offal like a chimp, or starve to death if we tried to live off leaves, yet chimps can digest them. But dogs can eat a “wolfs” diet and live healthily.

All animals adapt slightly differently. A horse and cow – are both herbivores and domesticated farm animals that both eat and digest very efficiently, the same diet of grass, grains and hay. However, many things a cow can tolerate will kill a horse very quickly. Cows can eat very old mouldy or musty hay; the same will kill a horse in a horrifically painful death known as colic. A common horse killer. This is because of the vastly different digestive system, between two animals that actually have an identical diet! Go figure!?

Digestive systems need to be addressed individually and not compared to other species. Dogs and humans simply cannot be compared. Chimps and human either. Dogs and wolves… well I believe many of us prove every day, that they can eat and survive off a similar diet. Well at least mine does!

My dogs also love eating my horses and cows poo… That’s right they LOVE IT!
Filled with salmonella, no doubt. They eat rabbit and fox crap too – Yes dogs are gross!
No ill effects.
Again, I am sure some dog owners may have had a dog that got sick. But I can’t believe it would be common.

EDIT (Yep, this bit is meant to be a little condesending):
One last thing… I normally NEVER bother with the debate about how feeding our dogs raw can be a problem for our own health via contamination etc, even though it has been brought up again and again, this is because it seems such a silly one. So the following will be a first for me…

I eat meat too. Not just my dog. So do many people I know. In fact I have only one friend who doesn’t. I have never been sick from something I cooked with meat in it (although I once nearly ended up in hospital from eating toadstools that I SWORE were field mushrooms. They looked almost identical – and I can now tell the difference!!).

When I buy my meat it is raw prior to cooking. So I prepare it. Sometimes thats just a case of slapping it in a fry pan, sometimes there is more to it (dicing, chopping etc). I feel stupid to even be writing this, but I feel I have to point these rediculous things out.

After I am done, I wash up. I wash my hands and If I used a chopping board or a knife. I wash those too. Thoroughly. With hot soapy water. I disinfect all my benches after doing the dishes too, as I know it could make me sick otherwise. I eat meat of some discription almost every day. I do not chop veggies on the same side as my meat. I flip the board first or use a clean board. I was taught to handle meat this way by my mother, when I was a child. It had nothing to do with dog food. Meat is meat. Be hygenic.

I don’t want to keep reading about how feeding our dogs raw can make US sick. Do your dishes! Whether you feed raw or not!! I dont eat my dogs raw meat or eat out of their bowls and have no intention of doing so in the future. Their bowls never touch my kitchen bench. They are washed in the laundry. Again, my mother taught me this, even though back then we fed dry and tinned food!!! I am not sure how handling my dogs meat differs in handling my own. But I hope these tips have helped some of you learn how to prepare meat – yours and your pets!!

Cats and dogs also lick their butt and the butts of others, then their fur sometimes. So wash your hands before you eat, after patting them – Even if you only feed them dry food!! Yep – my mum taught me that too! (She was a wealth of knowledge when it came to hygine).

ps – For those of you that didn’t have wonderful mothers like mine to teach you. You are also supposed to wash your hands after you go to the toilet too!! You will be most likely to get salmonella poisoning that way, if you don’t.

pps – Prehaps someone should tell poor Robert Backus this. Maybe he didn’t have a mum like mine!
