I have a friend who raises Boxers. She has 4 large ones in her home right now... Her great room is huge, and I tell you, you can tell when one of them passes gas clear across the room... Must be a specialty of the breed! They sure do have this down pat!

Our Lib used to turn and look at her butt after letting one! It was so darn funny! Not the smell, of course. I think it has something to do with the shape of their faces. They can also get bloat easy.

Our Bess does exactly that, and I just say to her "Did you do that?" And her face is just priceless. Miss Bess is a Diva and she is an odorless farter, but she lets everyone know she does it! Also, if I say "Sit" she does and she lets one go. No harm, no danger, no problem, just down and out funny!

Could we, at any time, discuss the flatulence problems of our fur babies any where else, but here? Thank you Quilting Board for letting us know we are not the only ones in the world that say the word "fart" or have dogs that do same or have husbands that do same. BUT WE DON'T!!!!!!!! Edie

I cured that problem by telling my husband, shortly after we married, that I was highly allergic to "that sort of thing". Being an asthmatic, he didn't question me. As a result, after 24 years of marriage, I have yet to have him pull the sheets up over my head.

Of course, I am partial to the Boxers, but English Bulls are bad too. I currently have 4 in my house and there are times that I have to open the doors - regardless of the weather. A lot of it has to do with food, but a lot of it has to do with their systems. All flat-nosed breeds - including cats - breathe mostly through their mouths. Because of this, more air get into their tummies. Every dog has basically the same intensity but not all have the extra air to carry it along. The mouth breathers have LOTS of extra so . . .

We had a French Bulldog and she could cause EVERYONE to clear the room. And then she happily followed you whether you went and do it again.

The funniest is my deaf girl - she lets it go and she can't hear it but everyone else does. It is absolutely hilarious when the pups are laying end to end and she gets one in the face. She sneezes and her eyes water and she starts barking at the other's butt. HYSTERICAL!!!!

But I love my Boxers - farting, snoring, belching and all - with all of my heart. My husband says that they would make great Fraternity dogs - they would fit right in.

Back to the cats - I had a Maine Coon that I rescued/acquired when she was 4 weeks and 4 days old. She was my Princess kitty. I had been raised with Siamese and had no desire for anything else, but Kassi happened. She was a total Miss Priss - she preened her tail endlessly. And she passed VICIOUS gas. When she let it rip, she would look right at me, stare me down and DARE me to say anything about it. And then she would look at the nearest dog, run over and swat them with her paw. I really miss my Miss Kass.

As you can probably tell - I really love my 4 leggers.

Look at that face - I'm sure he's just paying you back for something he thinks you've done (ha ha). We had a great dane that could clear the room. She would fart in her sleep and wake up and look at us like "what's that smell-to funny!!!!!) :D

LOL, our Bulldog will let one, and get up and move herself. She cant even stand it!

I have a cocker and a pointer, and they can both clear a room! Too funny! But I love my puppies!
