I’m watching the television show, “My Dog Ate What?” As I dog, I can honestly say that my canine kind will just about eat anything. My pal Nokona prefers dried worms (after he rolls over them) where as Piper likes dried rabbit poop. I prefer crazy things like caviar (just joking). But I digress.
On this particular episode of the show, the dog ate an enormous helping of rocks. Yep. The dog consumed over 20 sizeable rocks that of course could not be digested or expelled. After days of torture and surgery, the rocks were out of his stomach and he’s rock’in and rollin’ again (so to speak) in his backyard where upon he came upon the same rock pile and began to eat rocks again.
I know what you’re thinking: I CAN’T BELIEVE HE’S EATING ROCKS AGAIN AFTER ALL THAT TORTURE. You know what I was thinking? HOW COULD THESE HUMANS BE SO STUPID TO LEAVE THE SAME ROCK PILE IN THE BACKYARD FOR THE SAME STUPID DOG TO EAT AGAIN?
In truth, the humans were lame for not cleaning up the rock pile and the dog is just… a dog. People should know better and yet humans are just the same. Case in point: humans are always consuming things they shouldn’t (drugs) or too much of something (alcohol or food). Despite the outcomes (diabetes, obesity, heart failure, premature death) humans continue to consume what they shouldn’t or consume too much of what they should ingest.
Here’s my lesson of the day… Dogs are dogs. We eat what tastes good. Sometimes this is a rock. Humans are supposed to be smarter. How will a human protect us (dogs) when they fail (so often) to protect themselves? Humans: get you’re act together. If a dog is obese or eating rocks… it’s your fault. If you’re overeating and as a result dealing with obesity, heart disease and move like a rock… that’s your fault too. For heave’s sake, get your act together for both our sakes.
Q Okay, the question of the day is from Jasper and Razzer who asked: How can we walk together with our human? He walks us one at a time (bummer) and we like to enjoy the time outside together.
Dear Jasper and Razzer:
Do what my buddies (Lacy and Skipper) do and get your human to purchase a shared leash like the one below.
