Pizzles

[PeaceLoveRescue]

I can't get over people's reactions when they find out what bully sticks/pizzles are. Have a couple people come into work today one was looking for something natural we suggested a pizzle, she was all gung ho and then asked what it was. I gave my normal answer as I've learned if you actually tell people what it is a lot of the time they don't want to buy it, so I gave the bland answer of muscle. She inquired further I finally said it was cow penis and she said she couldn't buy that, it was just too gross. She did end up buying it after, rather reluctantly. lol

Later on the second person (actually people) came in with their Shepherd. Who my co worker decided to steal and was walking her around the store and offered her a pizzle. Dog loved it guess she told the owner as when I saw them next she had the dog back and one in her hand. The guy that was with her mentioned it couldn't be any worse than a pig ear, we both said yes it could, and I told him what it was.

I tend to find the guys freak out a bit more over it then women, I can't get over the different reactions when they find out what it is. That was my entertainment for the day, that and one of our favorite customers brought in his Newfoundland dog that me and my co worker just go head over heels for.

My best friend's parent's got a puppy, and someone on her mom's true blood forum sent a puppy package including bully sticks.

I thought it would be HILARIOUS to tell her what the bully stick was. (her mom has a great sense of humor) She didn't believe me for a while, and actually looked it up online, and then cracked up.

Maddie's now about 9 months old, and her nickname is still "penis-breath".

I just giggle over the word. "Pizzles." I, quite frankly, don't care that it's a bull penis. Then again, I've never bought them for our dogs.

Some people have great humor towards them once they find out. They'll be slightly creeped out and then mention "well she is a girl so I should have figured the reason she liked them so much." lol I had one person ask me "So they can turn the penis into a chew but what about the berries? Do they turn that into a chew as well?" I found that quite funny, especially considering I was wondering the same thing not long ago.

My family thinks its soo disgusting, but I don't understand what the big deal is...It's a dried tendon.

Don't raccoon hunters use a certain bone as a toothpick? People are so weird.

Just saw this and would like to make it EXTREMELY clear that I have never even HEARD of this before

They probably could if they wanted to, and I think I've seen something like that at Webers Pet Supermarket, they were dried in slices. As a side note, I sometimes shop at the international food store because they have different cuts of meat and a few more varieties than regular stores, and one time they had bull testicles for sale. I casually struck up a conversation with my mom about it and wondered if the dogs might like them and my mom said "I don't care if the dogs like them, you are NOT bringing THAT into MY HOUSE." :rofl1:

I've never given my dogs bully sticks, I wonder if my mom would disallow them too?
