We have a box of treats for our dog. It’s labeled “Peanut Butter Flavored.” Why the heck do dogs care if it’s peanut butter flavored? Pet food is apparently sold to mostly stupid humans that think their pets really want some “fancy” human-food flavored delicacy. And to smart humans who don’t have any other options because pretty much all pet food is sold “to humans”, branding-wise. Personally, I’m guessing the dog (and cats, for that matter), would prefer some nice, raw, or even cooked, meat, with bones (for the dog at least). But how many stupid humans are going to grab a box of “raw animal flesh” over “Peanut Butter Treats”? But they have no problem buying a whole chicken or an uncooked ham, or steaks, and doing their own cooking and feeding it to themselves. Then Fido might get a tiny taste of leftovers. Finally.
No, I haven’t gone to bed since my last post. Yes, I’m going…did eat though. Fake crab meat with cocktail sauce, and a bowl of cereal (one right after the other, not at the same time). Yum.
Note: My family’s dog isn’t named Fido, his name is Ty. Fido just flowed out in my rant, as the “universal dog name” :-)
Hey David. This is Heidi from Fuse/Lakeview I saw your post on Ruths LJ and realized it was you. That is the first time I have seen you post on LJ. I added you to my flist I am fearless4jesus. I thought this post was funny. I agree it is sillyness to make gormet dog food :) My mom really does want to have you over for dinner sometime :) she wasn’t kidding. I love my mom.

Hey Heidi, I’ve read a lot of your comments but never known it was you. I don’t often post on LJ (even commenting) even though I keep up with Ruth’s (and she reads my blog here). I’ll add you to my reading & flist next time I’m over there.
