[Namron] The Turnspit Dog

[James Rushin]

Yep I caught this post too, It also piqued my curiosity, so I did a quick
web search on turnspit.  There was apparently a breed of dog suited and
reared just for this purpose.

 

Check this web article out if you are inclined.

It has a small write up about the last "surviving" specimen of the breed.
Quite interesting if you are a dog afficianado.

For those not on the Ansteorra Mailing List, a post came down over the past
weekend regarding Turnspit Dogs.   Well, curiosity in this case killed the
dog as I found the post most educational and humourous to boot.

 

What is a Turnspit Dog and how does it apply to the SCA?  Take a look....

As the poster (Elrique) explained, given some metal and a welding rig, this
apparatus should not be too hard to fabricate.  Add a firepit and some meat
and we are ready to go.  Now to find a cooperative fleet of suitable
dogs.....

 

Shaking his head and still laughing.
