Article should have the PSA tag.

If amount of time/money spent on/with an entity is the ultimate determinate of worth, my step-dad is in trouble should a fire break out and my mom can only help him or her dog.

As my dalmatian slumbers beside me on the bed as I write this, I understand the obsession. His relaxed state is a reminder that life is to be enjoyed, and love shared.

/not in a creepy way, I mean.

LOL. I wonder what their vet would think of them mainlining Greenies?

"Dingo Time" is a magic phrase in our house. Turns my lazy hound into a total spaz. He also enjoys the Greenie Biscuits.

My dog loves greenies. I'm not sure why. They look like compressed blocks of leaves to me, but they're apparently full of crack. He only gets them once in a while because they're $3-5 a pop and last him a half hour if I get the giant ones.

As for pampered pets, it's pretty much as the author says at the end of the article. People live better in general now and we take better care of our pets. My pets are far from the most spoiled but I'm already looking for doggie daycare, dog walkers, parks and agility classes where my new job is. Why? Because I'll be able to afford it and if I can afford other luxuries for myself, my dog deserves to have some fun activities and to not be alone without a walk for 10 hours if I'm working late. He gets new toys once a month or so just like I get new books or a video from Netflix periodically. Same for my cat and my beardie (whom I'm trying to design a new enclosure for. Any ideas guys?).

I'm not ashamed!

My dog says "no" to Greenies, and "yes" to Dentasticks. Or the people's ham lunch meat--she moans when we open up the container!

Aw... This article was about a dog named Murphy, My murphy loved pig snouts and ears.

Yeah, what the hell is that about? In her later years, my dog's favorite things seem to be carrots, orange slices, and ice cubes.

See this animal:

i40.tinypic.com

He wouldn't eat a Greenie if it was slathered with bacon fat and rolled in ground meat. He hates them.

He will, however, eat the curtains:

i39.tinypic.com

And my glasses:

My jury duty check:

My towels:

i44.tinypic.com

And my mail:

I guess all those things tastes better than Greenies.

Greenies are HORRIBLE for a dog's GI tract. Ask any vet and they'll tell you to avoid them like the plague. Can't tell you how many dogs I've heard have had to undergo surgery for greenie dis-impaction.

my baby dj! he lives with his "other mommy" in florida. he's deaf. dj stands for deaf jam. we went between that, mos deaf, and WHAT???? as far as his name went. but really, does it matter? can't hear it anyway.

 
OttoisKing [TotalFark] 2009-04-04 02:22:35 PM  
*Squeee* at DJ. Jethro can hear and see, but his ignorant breeder gave up the litter to Gulf Coast Dachshund Rescue because she thought they were all deaf and blind. Jethro got the short end of the deal with a hole in his soft palate, roundy head and a slight curve to his spine (which he mostly has grown into) His sinuses are malformed and he has had a constant mucous congestion in his lungs. BUT, he's going to be racing at the world famous BUDA TEXAS WIENER DOG RACES the last Saturday in April. We're hoping for an "also ran" ribbon.
You want to see people spending money on spoiling dachshunds, the Wiener Dog Races in Buda is the place to be.

a variety of chew toys- that he's never used

Back when we had our German Shepherd she was always content with the 20 lb. logs she'd take off the firewood pile. And then drop on our feet.

They've been reformulated in recent years. Pretty much everyone at my vet school buys them now. I haven't seen a problem.

BTW, I just bought my doggie a bed and toys at PetsMart so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

For you beagle people, be happy it just ate your glasses. The one I had chewed on my achilles tendon as if it were bacon-wrapped peanut butter. I have never been so scared of a dog.

I donated for his surgery when you got him. I wondered how he was doing. Seeing him running was worth every penny.

It's tough to choke to death on something in your intestine. Just sayin'

The article mentioned something about a picture with Santa?
I see the pet picture as less of a celebration of the pet, and more an opportunity to torture someone who thought "Santa" was a good career choice.
