The steak.
It's cooked
Cut up in small chunks.
Loving it!
Loving it!!
"Is for me?"
"Is for me!"
I didn't know what to get her so got her a Tbone steak. Even at her mighty age of 17 she still has all her teeth and can chew through any bone.
She likes a good play every day. Spends the rest of it sleeping in her bed and barking along the fence line. Has to patrol and keep the house lot safe, right?
Im 28 today, she is 17. Me and her were both born on the 11th of November. Me in a hospital. Her down a wombat hole.
People always ask if her collar is on tight, no, she has lots of neck skin and fur which makes a great place for skritches! That she loves!
She's border collie X something and I'm just a pure asshole that couldn't be more thankful that I will have her by my side for the best part of my life.

You can't be too much of an AH if you feed your sweet dog steak!

She already got the best gift for her birthday —to be loved ridiculously beyond reason. Good job, OP.
crabbydotca
Hey I have a border collie X with too much neck skin too! We use a martingale avoid the too-tight-collar problem. I love her little dewlap!
NyQuilDaydream
My dog is also 17 years old! My folks say evey year now that he probably won't make it but he keeps proving them wrong!
talkimgurtome
Any bone raw or cooked can splinter or can get stuck somewhere and cause issue. Yes many animals eat bones all the time without issue.
talkimgurtome
At the end of the day It's up to owner discretion on what is fed and not fed /rant from a veterinarian who is tired of this arguement
TeamSpicyTacos
She's a great dog, thanks for taking care of her mate!
cannedbat
phew
bzort
You scritch that beautiful dog's neck RIGHT NOW and tell her it's from me, k?
stellabled
We share birthdays! Happy birthday!
sonicsuckinghisowndick
I was really bummed about how well done that steak was until I realized it was for the dog
GenerallyKenobi
Dog shouldn't have to suffer that either
clooney900
The dog might prefer it raw to cooked.
merlinious
Some dogs get sick with raw meat. You cant cook the bone for them though. That has to stay raw.
arok
I asked for medium rare, send it back
IronRod
The dog said it was ruff.
mikeatc
So you gave him a special treat that's cool awesome I'm glad you weren't doing it because you had to put him down.
quarky
Really coincidental: my 6 year old border collie was also born on November 11th. Happy birthday to you both @OP.
pariahok10
Had a dog gave her every kind of bone ....she died young ... age of 21 ....always heard the chicken drumstick will kill too rubbery

Happy Birthday to you and your pup

Happy birthday doggo and fellow 1989 baby.
arrowfred
$7.60 well spent. You purchased happiness for her. And yourself. Well done.
nothingontv
Play with my emotions like that?!
Monrobot
You gave a dog a 17 year aged steak?!?
Hauntologist
I actually tough this was posted by a 17 year old cow looking at the steak cut from her side
DieselBrother
That's what I thought too. Went back to check the expiration date on the steak.
FlatPlutoSociety
My first thought was "Isn't a steak from a 17-year-old cow chewy as hell?"
YouThinkThatsBad
I ate whale meat in Iceland and it was not easy to chew. And they served it with plastic cutlery, probably as some kind of joke.
thatoneguyfrommn
How I read it at first...
JesusChristFightingHitlerMMAStyle
When i read 17 years by my side, i seen the hunk of meat and thought "is that... his side?"
ItsThatOneAsshole
shutupgrampa
Where the hell are you living to get such a inexpensive T-bone?
Jacksparrowsentmetosettlehisdebt
I didn't realize that was expensive. I'm pretty sure they are that price here in Virginia.
Nofootlongs
I'm going to guess Australia.
thatoneguyfrommn
Happy birthday to you both! 17 years is an incredible age for a dog! Well-done taking care of that beauty!
goumich
Saw the title and thought the steak was 17 years old. Was po’d that u were feeding it to the dog!
bigyellowdog
Gorgeous!
HeyOP
Fuck man. I saw the 17 years and the steak and I thought this was a "guess who got the needle of death" post.
MikeTheRipper12
I thought it was about a 17 year old steak.
Rosie2003
Mine was "you're going to eat a 17 yr old steak?"
DradBones
I thought the same considering my 17 year old pup passed away in July. Had her since I was 2.
ShieldAnvil1
Yeah talk about a false flag post, I was crying at the steak eating pic and then I was like. ... okay then
caterpillargirl
That's where my mind went.
HeyOP
Finally, an answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjJHH6IL3Nc
DoctorFuz
lupender
i thought that the steak had been in freezer for 17years
Exoticz
I thought the same thing, and that he was finally going to eat it....
Amythyst
Probably the 28-year-old for baiting us like that.
Mockingbirb
As long as OP is taking good care of that lovely elderly lady, we should spare him the needle.

THIS!
Hochimintz

fruitcake11
When i saw that i thought "another one?".
butler12
Same, I hate those. This is really nice tho. Be good to dogs EVERY day.
aevansk1177
, everyday
YouThinkThatsBad
He gave it to me errday, errday, errday
Ijustwantquiet
I saw the use by date and thought OP is bad at the maths.
WeirdoseQ
I just thought it was a 17 year old steak
Mockingbirb
Yeah me too! Why not? People in Siberia ate mammoths they discovered in the frozen tundra! Mayby just a myth tho ;)
Thelannisterssendtheirrtards
Explain please?
HeyOP
When you have to have a pet put down, it's not uncommon to try to make that last day as pleasant as possible for them.
Transportal
Mine was yesterday and I feel so bad because she was in so much pain and couldn't eat. Dog was only 3 years younger than me
OreoD
Poor puppy :(
LeftHandPanda
They thought it was the dogs last meal
Thelannisterssendtheirrtards
Oh. Is it not? That's good then. :)
PirateRubberDuck
I thought he had a pet cow.
Stewker
I seriously thought at first before I saw that dog that he had a cow that lived 17 years and it finally died and they turned it into steaks.
YouThinkThatsBad
I didn't get it and saw 17 Nov 17 and tried to figure out the correlation and got nothing.
detectiveperalta
Unrelated (but sorta related) I recently finished watching Silver Spoon (a farming anime) and this is exactly my train of thought as well.
Affray
I thought the same. This is good too though.
msmarymac
I thought he meant he had the steak for 17 years
forte10
I thought it was gonna be one of those "if this makes FP I'll eat a 17 year old steak" things.
YouThinkThatsBad
Me too. Like some kind of crazy new aging technique
CptBronson
Or just an expired steak at the back of a freezer.
mcstreetz
"My dad gave me this steak growin' up and today's the day boys."

Oh me too. I was expecting an odd story like that

t-bones from a dog?

T-bones from a cow.

You people..... Cooked or uncooked yall always say bones are bad.
Tombs360
Fish, pork and fowel (bird) is a big no no for dogs because they break the bones and the edges get sharp and can puncture the stomach.
fwiff0
I mean..... He got her to 17
Trickky
Chicken bones are bad, they splinter very easily, get stuck in a dogs mouth/throat (Chickens are birds afterall)
JHawke
At this point.. why does it matter.
FourFiveFire
Cooked bones are okay on Thursdays and Saturdays on Daylight Saving Time.
BigAZNMan
What do you mean "you people"?
railgap
Steak bones not, chicken bones are. Ask your vet.
incorrectlycorrectingyourgrammar
Uncooked are fine as they don’t splinter like cooked
SithLordSloth
You just can’t cook any bones other than beef. They splinter and whatnot. Source? Me: a butcher, I get requests to save chicken backs often
ivegottwolegs
I feed my dogs raw chicken backs. Good for you!
musicular
Uncooked chicken bones are okay! They only splinter once cooked.
AnnChristin86
Everything that is cooked is bad, uncooked is okay as long as it's not bone from the legs.
Tombs360
I would not feed my dogs fish, pork or fowel (birds) because it can hurt them...
AnnChristin86
Both my dogs have eaten this without trouble. Both frozen and raw, never been a problem.
ivegottwolegs
Care to back that up with some references?
Tombs360
Don't. Fish, pork and fowel (bird) is a no no.
ivegottwolegs
I've been feeding my dogs raw chicken backs for >12 years.
AnnChristin86
In Norway the saying is fish, chicken and sheep. But as long as they are used to it and dont devour them whole, it's fine.
AnnChristin86
I have some in Norwegian, but found one in english. http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/recreational-bones-for-dogs/
MySpiritAnimalIsTheUnpopularOpinionPuffin
Pork bones and chicken bones are bad. They splinter and can cause damage when swallowed. Beef bones don't. They are safe for dogs to eat.
flamingflamingo
Inb4 any bone can be a choking hazard, always supervise
TheGreatBlueHeron
I've SEEN beef bones splinter into very sharp, jagged pieces.
GoldFrieza
No one saying it's impossible. If you live long enough you'll see a lot of weird things
thisistheguy
Cooked bones are bad, I've been feeding my dogs raw chicken necks for years bones and all
Katateochi
our dogs get raw chicken, bones an' all for breakfast every day.
NotSuspicious
dats nut true. ive been eatibg raw chikin and pig meat wit de bonies for de past 25 years and im fune
where2bee2
COOKED*** pork and chicken bones are bad
bezuer
Yes! Serve them raw, then your dog is safe. Wolves don't cook their stupid bones, people!
DrFartstheTRex
What if an animal gets struck by lightning and a wolf ears it? Minecraft logic dictates it will be cooked.
trybuttstuff
This is an such an untrue statement that it is almost 100% inverse to truth. Source: veterinarian.
wadatahmydamie
I like that the professional is getting downvoted for being right
TransrectalPalpation
Thank you. -fellow vet
SpaceCthulhu
So what's the truth? I hear such mixed things, I just never give them bones.
trybuttstuff
You can find a lot of questionable advice on the internet.

IfYouAreReadingThisILoveYou
I thought is was poultry bones that're bad but mammal bones are fine as long as they aren't boiled.
RidgeRunnerJr
Well I don't know where you get your information but I grew up on a chicken farm and have watched dogs eat and tire chickens from alive to
shawnspenstar
Hey vet here. His info is correct. Just bc it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I've never been shot but guns are thing.
MrWookloaf
Dogs are resilient ones. I say let em eat the chicken bones.
Jacksparrowsentmetosettlehisdebt
Raw is fine. Cooked splinters. They chew it, it splinters and stabs their insides.
RidgeRunnerJr
Too dead bones and all
yourcreepyunclefriendly
Ya it's the cooked chicken bones that splinter, raw is fine
huraee
While all bone pose a threat, it’s the cooked fowl bones that are dangerous. When on a raw diet I gave mine raw bird bones. All good!
HughWattmeight
And tire?
DMorison

Whale oil beef hooked.
flamingflamingo
Your dogs killed your livestock?
mcstreetz
Yeah, dogs like to eat chickens. My brother-in-law had to fence around the whole area his chickens live to keep his dogs from eating them.
flamingflamingo
We had to euthanize our dogs for killing livestock.
TRYoungn
Can we just take a moment and remember that dog food was only created around 1860, and only the “upper middle class” could afford it.
Tamtastical
But dogs did not cook their bones. They ate raw food. Cooking bones causes them to soften. When I was young our dog died from a chicken bone
TRYoungn
Also, working on a farm myself, I’ve seen dogs AND cats devour whole ducks and chickens. A few bones won’t hurt them and it help file teeth.
ItCanOnlyBeANipple
Raw chicken bones don't splinter as badly as the cooked ones, though.
Ansatsunin
My grandmother had a GSD that ended up something like 20 years old, who she would cook goulash for every few days and store in the 1/?
IronRod
My mother used to say she hated our dog, but would cook it mince meat with onions and beef stock.
Ansatsunin
fridge. Like, full-on with tomato sauce, vegetables, chunks of meat / offal, and some added grain. He loved it, of course. 2/2
