1. Cooked eggs, definitely "summon the hound"! Uncoooked? No way... Salmonella affects dogs too.

[Duppers]

2. whoops. I assumed it was cooked.

Yep, uncooked I'd wipe it up.

[hedgehog]

4. I've seen my dog eat cat turds and dirt!

Next to that, a little salmonella is nothing!

11. As a puppy, my dog's main diet was sticks...

Not just chewed.. but chewed up and swallowed..

Also slugs, bugs and pretty much anything she could get into her mouth..

[hlthe2b]

17. Umm guys.. no one is suggesting a 'germ-free' existence, but offering potential pathogens....

and Salmonella can be a very potent pathogen for dogs, just as for humans, not a good idea.

Not to mention that several human Salmonella outbreaks were transmitted from infected dog to human. That's why all the current furry over the Salmonella contaminated dog foods--especially those from China. There have been dozens of these incidents recently.

e.g.,

Missouri-based pet food maker issues another recall
The Associated Press
Illinois is among the states from where Meta, Mo.-based Diamond Pet Foods is voluntarily recalling another type of dog food because of potential exposure to salmonella.

But, yes, of course they eat crap, but not all bacteria are equal, nor even harmful.

10. same here ... if it is cooked ... doggie gets it ... raw ... I clean it up .. nt

[Iterate]

3. Add rum and cream and call it Christmas.

Stir well or they'll chase it all over.

[OriginalGeek]

5. I don't think I'd let the dog get an egg

but it may not be up to me - she is an order or two of magnitude more spry than I.
By the time I got the rag
the egg would probably
be in the bag
(of her her stomach I mean...)


On the other hand she knows what the cheese bag sounds like and demands I drop a shred or two for her when I'm making anything with cheese.

Tip one out for mah home dawg.

[avebury]

6. Raw egg - no way, cooked egg - come and get it! nt

[WillParkinson]

7. We don't have eggs in the house...

And with 4 dogs there's no way 1 would have been enough. Maybe if it would have been a dozen...

[ellisonz]

8. Summon the hounds!

[hedgehog]

9. I suspect that the answer depends on whether or not your hounds

are of the Heinz 57 breed or not! The Heinz 57 breed can eat anything!

[hunter]

12. I voted summon the hounds...

... but the hounds would already be there.

The tiniest sliver of cheese dropped from the grater won't be long on the floor.

Yes, I cook with dogs in the kitchen.

[bluesbassman]

14. LOL, my pug can be sound asleep on the other side of the house,

and all I have to do is open a box of cereal and he'll apparite in front of me faster than any witch or wizard.

[hunter]

16. Yep. If I went to the kitchen...

... opened the refrigerator, took out an egg and dropped it on the floor... a dog would appear instantly to mop it up.

[Demoiselle]

13. I pick the shell fragments out...

..if there's time enough before 'ole Vacuum Lips gets to it.

[surrealAmerican]

15. I may be atypical, but ...

... I can't remember ever dropping an egg on the floor. For most food that I do drop, I summon the hounds (unless they are already there - they are pretty quick).

[NightWatcher]

18. Our dog lingers under foot when anyone is in the kitchen

And he gets all kinds of scraps that way.

[Honeycombe8]

19. If it were cooked, I'd pick it up and put in dog bowls. If raw, I'd wipe it up.

But I'd wipe up the floor, in either case.

[mythology]

20. With my last dog neither option would apply

The correct answer was, step back so he didn't start trying to eat your toes too. He never got over the fact that his first owners didn't think feeding him was required.

[Cronkite]

21. What's this crap about having to call the dogs?

I've got six digs and ANYTIME I am handling food they are right there waiting for the slightest mistake.

[Kali]

22. fuck that

scoop it up, throw it in the frying pan with a few more and call the kids for breakfast
