Doggs Eating Corn

A few months ago we were grilling corn and and, because we totally suck at it, we messed it up so badly that we only wanted to eat Mack eating cornabout half of what we made. What did we do with left over corn? Why, fed it to the doggs, of course. Now, the actual cob is rather unhealthy for a dog since it’s hard to pass. To circumvent this problem Michelle decided to see if Mack could eat corn off the cob like a human. As it turns out, he can. It seemed oddly natural to him, and he approached it as though it was the most normal thing in the world. He must have said to himself, “This cob might not be good for my digestive system; I think I’ll try to bite the kernels off individually. When I am done eating, I shall do Calculus.” Beene, on the other hand, consumed half a cob despite our best efforts to prevent her from doing so.

Naturally, we bragged about Mack’s newfound skill to our friends. Their dog, Bromley, is a prodigy: she can eat watermelon and ring a bell when she needs to be let outside. With their interest piqued, they investigated to see if Bromley’s repertoire could be expanded to include eating corn off the cob. Not surprisingly, it could.

Mack and Bromley rule at eating corn, Beene is confused. Enjoy.

Hi. I clicked on the link to your blog from Jess’ this morning.

My partner & I have figured out the best way to grill corn. Last night was the third attempt and it was great again!

Here’s what we do -
Shuck the corn down to only about 1-2 layers of husk. Carefully open those husks and take the silk off/out. Close the husks back over the corn. Grill corn for about 10 minutes on high. Rotating (with tongs or the OveGlove) as you grill. The husks sometimes catch fire… we just put it out and keep going.

Charred bits of husk land on the ground around the grill… that’s all we’ve let our dog eat, but now we may want to prove he’s as smart at Bromley.

Thanks for the tip! We’ll try that out for sure. When teaching your dog to eat off the cob, just remember to make sure they don’t eat the cob itself!

Dude, this was freakin’ hilarious. I had to show it to my daughter (age 15 months), who loves dogs. She was very excited. Next time I’m at my parents’ house, I will feed their dog corn on the cob. I can’t wait to see my mom’s reaction.

Not sure if I can put HTML in here, but I’m gonna try it:

OK, well I guess HTML doesn’t work.
