Forgot to mention.

Our doberman shepherd had a daily ritual.

He had a self filling food dish, we use it for our current dog still.

Every night at bed time he would go into his food area and take a couple kibbles and bring them to us in the bedroom and drop them on the floor in front of us and then look at us.

We'd tell him thank you and then tell him to eat his dinner. He'd gobble up those kibbles and go back to the feeder to eat.

What a sweet dog! He'd share his dinner with us every night. He was a good boy and I miss him.

Fred knows if he is patient, I'll share. But bacon, is his weakness.

So for future reference.... For those that had their dogs scarf down raw meat products, especially chicken, did you take any courses of action following those incidents? Any concern for bacteria crap? Just expect a couple maybe heinous BMs or a round or two of baring? Anyone have to deal with consumed bone-in products? I ask because I have an 80 lb Chocolate Lab (2yo) and a 40 lb Australian Cattle Dog (1.5yo). Working on training them, but they are young, thick-headed, and driven (part of the positives of their breeds). Thanks!

Our dogs get raw bone in chicken 5 days a week. We have 5 Shih Tzu's, a Boxer and an Olde English Bulldogge

A friend of mine feeds his show dogs nothing but frozen raw chicken (and some treats).

Wait. You still used the remaining 2 pounds of ground beef?

Nope... the other, not so bold dogs, got the rest for supper.

The time interval is that which light takes to cover the distance between these two points:

It's that anaconda gene.

Our two (primarily the younger/taller one) pulled a plate of 12 freshly pattied 1/3lb burgers off the counter and had them gone in the time that it took me to walk to the fridge and grab a beer - less than 10ft away. I heard the plate hit the floor and there was hardly anything left other than a huge dog fight over the scraps. There were a LOT of raw onions in those burgers...

It's a very difficult question to answer, because, physically, the steak is already consumed by the time the light travels from the pooch across the room to your eyes so that you even know the event has occurred. It's faster than your nerves and brain can process. Because of our current understanding of physics, we can deduce what had occurred, but to an observer, it's as if the steak has simply blinked out of existence.

It can happen in a jiffy!

How long is a jiffy, you ask?

The term jiffy refers to a brief, usually unspecified, interval of time . In scientific and lay applications, it can refer to any of several specific time spans. The most common interpretation is 0.01 second.

In computer engineering, the length of time between successive microprocessor clock cycle s is sometimes called a jiffy. This interval gets shorter as clock speeds increase. In a computer with a 2- gigahertz microprocessor, the jiffy is 0.5 nanosecond or 5 x 10 -10 second. In a machine with a 3-gigahertz microprocessor, the jiffy is 0.333 nanosecond (3.33 x 10 -10 second).

In some circles, the length of time required for one alternating-current ( AC ) utility power cycle is called a jiffy. In the United States and Canada, this is 1/60 second. In many other countries, it is 1/50 second.

In some publications, the term jiffy refers to 0.001 second. In others, it corresponds to the length of time required for a beam of light to travel one foot in free space; this is approximately 1 nanosecond. In still others, it refers to 3.3357 times 10 -11 seconds, which is the length of time it takes a ray of light to travel 1 centimeter in free space. Perhaps the most interesting interpretation is the one suggested by Richard Tolman early in the 20th century. He considered a jiffy to be the length of time it takes a photon (light particle) to travel from one side of a nucleon (neutron or proton) to the other. A nucleon has a diameter of about 10 -15 meter; a jiffy in this context is a paltry 3.3357 x 10 -24 second.

M soon to be step son learned a tough lesson. Although He isn't much of an eater at 14, he does enjoy a good steak cooked med rare. I bought a few large, rib-eye beauts at Costco, about 25 ounces. He set it down in the living room to get a knife, came back and it was gone. The Rotti snorfeled it.

He did cry a bit. No back up steak for him.

My Mom's duo of labs once ate a full pound of breakmakers yeast.
