I had a friend with a Jewish Jack Russell ?

I've seen this thread bobbing about for a while.
I honestly thought that it was about canine circumsition

Well, it was obvious from the title it was a Phoenix thread, so it could well have been

oh Fanny I don't think dogs actually have foreskins! My friends dog occasionally (ahem) "leaves the lid off his lipstick" but being of a delicate nature, I don't look too closely

Our cat has recently discovered Stilton and can’t get enough!

Obviously a cat of discerning taste, like our late lamented Marice, mentioned up thread , Nannytopsy!

I’m still trying not to be offended by the thread title.

Jewish dog ?? Really??

We had a spaniel who ate anything - half a pound of butter my DM had left to warm on the fireplace; he cleared the bottom layer of a nice afternoon tea I set out on a trolley for guests etc.
Another dog sulked after Christmas and would not eat anything except turkey.

Oopsadaisy4 sorry if you are offended by the thread title, no offence was meant, it was meant to be light hearted.

But feel free to report it if you feel it breaks GN guidelines.

Phoenix I have PMd you

It's odd what could break guidelines and what does not!

That was a very sensible dog, phoenix.

Casual Racism ?

I think there must be a Guideline against it somewhere.

It's not racism to say that Jewish people do not eat pork.
A pig is unclean.

Sensible dog.

I’m disappointed in you all

Nobody is racist on GN?

Really true colours are showing if this is amusing

And so

Goodbye GN

In your own mind.

My first thought was circumcision too. Glad it's not that!

I had a cat which used to steal grated cheese. I could never leave an uncovered bowl on the table or worktop because she would jump up and steal it.

My dog likes raw red pepper and raw carrots, cooked green beans and she does like pork, very much!

Our last dog (RIP) adored raw carrot, and the hard stalks of e.g. white cabbage or cauliflower.
One dog loved raw swede and carrot and he used to like cat biscuits rather than dog biscuits.

Why is it racist? Seriously why? Would it be racist if Phoenix had said her dog was Scottish as it liked eating haggis and wearing a kilt?
IMO it is doing a disservice to the cause of defeating racism to bring it into this kind of jokey thread.

My last dog (adopted) was Welsh, I think that's why he ignored everything I said because I only speak English.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this already, apologies if so, I've only read bits and pieces.

Ham and other pig products are actually very bad for dogs - far too high a salt content.

That's why you never get dog (or cat) food advertised as 'pork flavour' or whatever.

One of our cats loved chocolate, which I know can be bad for dogs but obviously not for cats! Tabitha used to Demolish crumbs from chocolate cake or biscuits off the floor. When she needed painkillers and antibiotics after an operation I mixed the crushed tablets with drinking chocolate and she swallowed it all quite happily

I'm a Guardian reading, vegetarian, loony liberal snowflake and my 'ism' radar is constantly on high alert.
But I didn't pick up on any racism - in fact, I'm probably guilty of adding to it with my 'circumcision' comment.

I used to have a toy poodle who loved butter. We had to lock it away as she would steal it and bury it in the most obscure places. Memories of maggot ridden lumps of butter found in the bottom of the wardrobe - yuk!
She also loved a drink of tea and would bark and walk around the table on her back legs until we got up and made a pot!
My BIL had a toy poodle who loved melon, she would go bersek if she saw anyone eating it and didn't get any.

We used to have several cats, one of whom was fond of a slice of banana.
We would hold that cat back, while putting a piece of banana down for the others to sniff, then let her eat it as the rest looked astonished.
