Do your pets fart?

Well, lookie what I found:
**************************
Fart (Definition)
Originally described by the Oxford English Dictionary as, "A slight explosion between the legs," a fart is a combination of gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide) that travels from a person's stomach to their anus. When a person swallows too much air or eats foods that the human digestive system cannot digest easily gas becomes trapped in the stomach. The only way for this excess gas to exit the body is through the anus.
Hydrogen sulfide gas, containing sulphur, causes the famous aroma. The more sulfur in your diet, the higher the aromatic potential. Sulphur rich foods include: beans, cabbage, cheese, soda, and eggs.

The scientific name for a fart is flatus or flatuence.

Other popular names for farts or farting include: gassers, stinkers, pongs, air biscuits,bombers, low-flying ducks, barking spiders, cheek slappers, rotten eggs, wet ones, poots,
You can pass gas, break wind, toot, poop, trump, pump, slip one, blast, beef, poof, s**t, s**te, rip one, let one rip, let one go, let one fly, step on a duck, give an opinion, blow the butt trumpet, cut one and cut the cheese.

Reactionary statements include: "Incoming!" "Ewww who did that?" "Ooowph, who let go?" "Ghhod, did a rat crawl up your bum and die?" "Phwawh, gemme ouda here...Jeez-us!" "Keee-riste, do you issue gas masks with that?" "Why are you all looking at me?" "I didn't do it."

The most fearsome fart is the SBD (Silent But Deadly).


On the average, a healthy person farts 16 times a day, male or female...mostly while asleep!!
The honorable title of "most flatulant animal" goes to the Elephant.
Farts that contain a large amount of methane & hydrogen can be flammable.


Japanese for fart: "onara"

ZOMG!!!! My ferrets fart?!?!...Wow..
The food I give 'em must be real good then.{for the most part..I wont deny their poop reeks}
I honestly think "passing gas" is needed (avoid stomach aches) BUT...at the same time, u [as a human] can always act like your mother taught u some Manners...
Excuse yourself, try to avoid it while u make an exit {for the lazy ppl, clenching booty actually tones up}
You'll thank yourself later when that Fuckalicious date calls ya back....
However, an animal obviously doesn't care much for manners....

And now I know a Japanese word I can call my brother and he will never know how I learned it ....

Now we must include our human pets in this as well....and all im gonna say is that sometimes there is a need to take a walk outside!

We have an older dog, collie/lab mix, who is on insulin and a very strict diet. His farts smell like a skunk has sprayed the room. His vet did say we could give him Gas-X, but I don't like to do that too much. We tried giving him plain yogurt to maybe help the good bacteria situation, but he actually got worse.

"I'm helping this planet.....Cow farts destroy the Ozone....I eat Cows...."

He's a Labrador Retriever... we're doomed.

I try to tell myself that I can get used to anything... and then my self recoils in horror: "omg! you want to get used to THAT??!!"

My Aunt had a cat, a purebred silver tabby, called Rigby, who was ever the gentlecat, he would fart in his sleep, wake up, glare at my Aunt and then stalk out the room thoroughly disgusted...
My current cat also farts, and when she's awake and it happens, she stares at her arse as if to say "Well what the f*ck was that!?!" then turns to look at me like I can make her understand what just happened.
I'm not sure which is worse though, dog fart or cat fart, cat farts tend to be fairly fishy, but a dog we had when I was a little kid could clear the entire ground floor of the house when he'd been given a bone!
