What is up with dogs? 

To begin with, I agree with people of Mozambique who look upon dogs as the filthiest creatures on the face of the earth.  Not only do dogs use their tongues as their washcloth and toilet paper (as other animals do), but they tend to eat any feces they find and will also roll around in it.

Anyway, you asked why dogs like to drink out of toilet bowls.

Answer: See my comments above.

There are some inaccuracies in this post, but it is true that some dogs do exhibit some "interesting" behaviours. Then again, so do many humans.

I think DiscoverDave might be overlooking a significant point. Were it not for the symbiotic relationship between wolves (dogs) and humans, it is not clear that human civilization would ever have advanced to the point where we are now able to whizz on dogs over the Internet.

By the way, this here piece of paper I got in the mail says  "Vinco Fimus Bovinis."

What that mean?


Literally "I see the excrement of a bull"

Try not to step in it.

Some of us find dogs hard to resist. This is Torri and Shona

There is a certain "selkirk" property to this vid.

This vid seems to be very "selkirkian."

What is a selkirk? Is it what you shout when star trek shares go down?

Most animal don't eat in the same place that they drink. When they drink they drink fresh flowing water. The toilet is away from their food and has been standing for a while so the chlorides have lessened. It may also be cooler in your loo.
My previous cat would only drink from a running tap or from my dripping shower. My present cat will only drink if I pour the water onto the floor.
I'm sure animal behaviourists will know the answer.

A bloke built like the proverbial brick outhouse came into the pub yesterday and went arse over tit on a lump of dog sh1t. I said to him 'I just did that'. He knocked me spark out!


A dog was sat in the pub licking his John Thomas. I said to the dog's owner 'I wish I could do that'. He replied, 'Give him a packet of crisps and he might let you'.

I shall try to refrain from posting any further corny dog cracks.

LOL....LOL....LOL...... Those are very funny! LOL...
