I'm Currently Feeling:  | That is so gross.  I do agree with the other posters, just bring home a blanket that the baby has been wrapped up in and let the dog get used to the new scent. This is what I plan on doing with our boxer. I'm worried about how he will react, he is very protective of me and he also doesn't understand children (he thinks they can handle 83 pounds of muscle jumping on them and playing). He's a big dog and super sweet, but is not aware of his size, lol!!! He's a big dope.
Eating placenta (for humans or animals) is just disgusting....... YUK!!! |

Very weird.... | No worries, my dogs love chicken and biscuit
I talked to my husband about the blanket idea and he's very interested. I think we will stick with it. | | | | Status: Offline

Here's some interesting reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placentophagy | OMG. Just went to this site and had to close it after about 10 seconds! It was far to gross! |
