Mammalian response to excess CO2 is not a pleasant way to go. It's not actually a deprivation of oxygen that causes autonomic arousal, it's an excess of CO2. Could we please curtail the sadism via ignorance?

Did you miss the bit about getting the animals high as a kite first?

"Not kick much."

Who's benefit is this for, again? You, or them?

The wife, mostly. I'd be fine with giving 'em a 12 gauge 00 buck round to the head but she wouldn't like it.

My dog never wanted to smoke joints when I offered.

But he liked beer. A lot.

Dogs do be likin' beer.
