How do you wash your pet's dishes?

[panthera]

Oh how cute!

Friends of ours have a rottweiler-pit mix and a rottweiler-doggie mix, a chihuahua, four cats and various other foor-footed family members.

Everything gets washed in the dishwasher or the washing machine.

The chihuahua is the only dawg in the family with a bad temper.

Wonder why that is...

Korky is Rhodesian Ridgeback mixed with "we don't know what". He behaves like a Ridgeback, in that:

1. He's a terrible guard dog, to him all human are potential treat-bearers and attention-lavishers. He is as affectionate toward strangers as he is to me.

2. He's killed coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, possums, rats, etc....which is what Ridgebacks in Africa do: they rid the farm of nuisance animals.

3. He completely ignores ducks and chickens. They are beneficial farm animals so he ignores them.

4. Cats are a problem. Ridgebacks hunt lions in packs, and unfortunately he thinks cats are baby lions. I've been told they are ok around cats if raised together, but they still go after unknown cats. Just instinct.

5. He will bark if he hears a strange noise, a doorbell, or knock on the door. However, as soon as he sees it's a human, he's quite friendly. When he does bark, it's worth checking out because he's quite selective about barking.

Bosch

I now have 5 cats, I found little Tabitha kittie the other night. EVERYTHING goes thru my Bosch, but it melts many types of plastics, esp. peanut butter jars......Bill in Az....

likewise a Bosch

Korky's bowls are stainless steel so not an issue.

I know what you mean about plastics, though. Sometimes I like to save those square-ish jars with screw top lids, the kind you get at Costco (e.g Jelly Bellys, nuts, etc) when you buy two pounds sizes. THey are nice for storing coffee beans, rice, or other perishables. However, even on Regular wash (140 F rinse), it's enough to warp the plastic. Probably they would do ok on Quick Wash (105 F).
