I Don’t Know About Your Dog, But My Dog Can’t Speak

I’m kinda in this blah mood today and I was trying to think of things to cheer me up. Right away I thought about Kona, which then got my mind to start thinking about this doggie food sample we got today at some feed shop that sells food for pets. First let me say that the whole world is losing it. The dog food brand was from the guys who wrote “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” No. Really. “Writers” are now making dog food. Wholesome dog food. It’s called “Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul.” Doesn’t it make you people who read the original book feel kinda dirty?

So I kinda giggled at the display and walked away, when I heard one of the workers asking my husband if he would like a sample. Free pet food? Uh, yeah we’d like some. But here’s where my mind starts going. Why would we need a sample of dog food. Have they seen most dogs? Dogs will eat anything. Anything. My dog will be in heaven if she gets a piece of dried spaghetti. More importantly, my dog can’t speak. She can’t tell me if she thinks it’s so-so, a little too bland, a little too spicy. Right? Am I right here?

  1. I just laughed my way through this whole post and then read it to Ryan and he laughed through it too. I wonder if the whole luxury pet industry is taking a hit with the economy on the rocks?

  2. I don’t know… someone somewhere out there is not getting affected by the whole oil thing and can afford this crap and I want to know who and how!

  3. Hi. Found your post while I was searching for dog food facts. This post is hilarious! I understand what you mean about writers owning their own brand of dog food. Even Ellen DeGeneres has her own brand of dog food, for crying out loud!
    Most industries are exploiting the fact that almost all dog owners love their dogs like members of the family. And what’s worse is that human habits are applied to dogs – like giving dog food samples!

    Thanks for your post! I truly enjoyed reading it!
