Thread: Show us yer toes - WARNING GRAPHIC

I hope you gave the poor lass a 1,000 baht tip

I was preparing some food in the kitchen to day when I became aware of a strange (but nice) sensation around the left foot area.



Yes, Maya was licking my left big toe.

This brought back vivid memories of our wonderful dog Dan licking my left big toe a few years ago, after the toe nail became infected and nearly dropped off after cleaning out the pond. Dogs can smell infection and love to offer assistance by use of their infection-busting saliva.

We had a big rain storm the other night and as I was inspecting for damage, I slipped and twatted my left big toe against a wall. The toe has been throbbing ever since and and the nail has gone a bit black and started to weep a bit. Songkran ain't the best of times to head to hospital but also I reckon it will come good... I certainly hope so as next week I head to work and will be expected to wear proper shoes and maybe even safety boots. That will hurt... bare feet and flip-flops have been no problem.

Anyway, Maya was taking no chances with her Master and was doing her best.

Ain't dogs wonderful animals!



I took my toes outside into better light for a check-up and to be honest, other than a cracked nail the left big toe didn't look appreciably worse than the undamaged right, but I took no chances and re-applied a liberal helping of Betadine.



It bloody hurts though. I hope it gets better soon.

Jaysus ! there is a new invention. its called scrubbing brush !

I'm not sure where the black rubber sandals end and the toenails begin.

New cargo pants?

The webbed toes 2 and 3 are proof you have DNA remnants from your distant common ancestor to Buriram people.

Still not sure if I will upchuck. That and Looper's post tooth removal mouth photo have emotionally scarred me.

You need a pedicure in Bkk before showing up for work..

And those things breaking and re-straightening

We trust the brown colour is Betadine, on the upside will match the turdworld tiles in your new shower cell.

The foots of a Moose.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the fly.

^ Nice.

You will find that many cast insults but few will actually show their digits on this thread, and to show your pet moose's feet is a scoop for the thread (rear or fore?).

I continue to be amazed by the attentiveness of my dogs, particularly Maya, to the predicament of my infected, right big toe nail.

And look at those tiles... gotta be worth a B+ for those who grade such things?



I've heard that dogs can sniff out cancers and are even professionally used for such medical purposes... their level of sensitivity is outstanding.

Every one of my dogs has been giving my toe an inspection today and I'm considering a hospital visit tomorrow... the last thing I want is to arrive offshore next week and then get a medical problem. Especially considering that I may have to wear safety boots.

Maya is just great. A dog's saliva is supposed to have antiseptic properties and all she wants to do is help... remember Daniel in his lion's den?



This is what bonding should be all about.

I can tell you, if the wife had a septic toe I would not be interested in licking that.

I've heard that dogs can sniff out cancers and are even professionally used for such medical purposes... their level of sensitivity is outstanding.

all my life i have loved dogs and always make a point of going up to them and attempting to stroke or pat. never have i had a dog back away or become aggressive. if they show reluctance i will always persevere until the dog comes to me.

3 years ago shortly before my operation for cancer in the uk i was walking in the park and a small dog on a leash with his owner about 25 yards away walking towards me suddenly stopped and would go no further. as i continued walking this dog backed away and gave me a kind of death stare. as i approached closer his obvious alarm increased and he growled.

i chatted with the owner who said that he has never done that before, he is normally very friendly and loves to be patted and stroked by people when out. i thought nothing of it, maybe some scent on my shoe alarmed him, but later it occurred to me that he probably detected my cancer.

when i was a kid we had a dog as a pet, one time i had a septic ingrown toenail and the dog would always find it interesting and sniff and lick at it. i never photographed the event though.

^ Fascinating stuff Tax, and I believe that this kind of thing will be used more and more in the medical field as humans increasingly become aware of the sensitivity of dogs, and many other animals, in detecting cancers and other illnesses. Is it just the sense of smell or other senses that we're not aware of?

Betcha wish you photographed that sniff and lick now! What a scoop for this thread that would have been, all these years later!

There are so may pictures I wish I could have taken in the past, before the advent of the Smart Phone.

Good one, but I think this is the one you are looking for:

“

As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.”

Lazarus was also the guy with the worn out vagabond Camo shorts.

Apparently, that's a myth, mate... and thinking of your mantra the other day in your restroom thread where you mention 'you can only suck the dick that's slapped in front of you' surely it'd be wiser to buy some soap, Dettol and a few plasters rather than let a pack of soi dogs who've all been mouth raped by that sex pest white beast you have, loose on it?

Reading the article below it appears the real reason your dogs lick your feet is because they are a salty treat like Yogis bollocks and the webbed things resemble that of a duck
Should I Let My Dog Lick My Wound? - Will It heal Faster?

Have you noticed any extra hair, a wont for sleeping with them, or other weredog like properties?

I agree with Dill....it's a myth. In fact dogs have odd bacteria in their mouths to which we can react very badly.

I think the myth started with stories during WW2 (and probably long before) in which dogs successfully cleaned out infected wounds. Just very good luck that the soldiers did not die. In fact some may have...we just didn't hear about them as people would have said they simply died from their wounds. I read a story about a POW in the Philippines who survived by having his wound cleaned out by a dog.

Dogs are also known to be able to sniff out Parkinsons...there was a recent article about it if anyone wants to Google.
