Another thing I used to do? Shop at the meat counter for myself and my husband, rather than the dogs. Stew meat, chicken thighs, hamburger... we used to eat these things. Now I buy them for the dogs. We eat PB and J.
But the real clincher? I went to the grocery store today and ACTUALLY GOT EXCITED when I found a package of fresh turkey necks. And THEN? I regaled the guy at the check-out counter with the virtues of feeding raw. Me!!
Joanna, this is all your fault. You have turned me into a raw-feeding, store-clerk-lecturing, fresh-turkey-neck-thrill-seeking freak of nature. I hope you're pleased with yourself.
So, fresh off the victory of my turkey neck score in Shaw's, I moseyed into Pet Quarters to pick up a puppy collar. A collar. One collar. For the puppy. What did I come out with?
Two collars; a matching leash for one of the collars; a puppy sized Nyla bone; a Fluffy Flappy in grey and light blue to MATCH THE PUPPY; a stuffed dog to sleep in the crate with him; a puppy sized Kong; and a Kong bone with hollow ends that you can stuff with treats. And there were two other stuffed toys that I actually put back!
Good grief. If anyone finds my marbles, could you send them back to me? I'll pay the postage.
A new puppy always has that effect. It's like preparing for your first grandchild -- just getting silly and buying cute stuff. Cannot wait until your baby comes home with you.
ReplyDeleteShoot - I'm just puppy-sitting and before I even got home with her I was at the store buying chewies and toys. Mind you, the puppy is only here for a week!
ReplyDeleteHilarious post! At least with all these Cardi-blogs to read, we all know we are not alone in our dog obsessions! I have to try hard not to get labeled as "that crazy dog lady" in my neighborhood. I don't think I've been very successful!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Can't wait until you bring him home.
