Bully for you: Calling a penis a penis
A lot of dog owners are familiar with “bully sticks” and know that their dogs are, well, nuts about them. But not all of them know that the delectably beefy strands their dogs are gnawing on are actually — no matter what name they’re given — bull penises.
Check out videos produced by the makers of most bully sticks and you’ll see that many make their entire presentations without once mentioning what the product is; and they manage to avoid calling a you-know-what a you-know-what on their product labels, as well.
That’s why we’re proud to present a new video put together by one of our sponsors, K-9 Kraving Raw Diet Dog Food of Baltimore, which now offers bully sticks — and, in a world too full of euphemisms, has the balls to let customers know what they really are.
In addition to featuring my dog Ace, the video is highly informative, offering a step-by-step account of how the sex organs of slaughtered bulls make the journey from fresh “pizzles” to stretched, smoked and dehydrated bully sticks. More impressive yet, they — unlike me — managed to put the entire video together without once resorting to cheap innuendo and tasteless wordplay.

I recently read a pretty funny discussion among some veterinarians and vet techs about the euphamisms people use when discussing their dogs’ reproductive systems. Cheap innuendo and tasteless wordplay is a lot more fun.

LOL! I can’t help but laugh at how many people actually don’t really know what a “bully” stick is!
I am not a big fan of them, although the dogs love them. I consider them more of an “outdoor” toy.
