I figured that nothing could be worse than roach poo (see previous journal). So the other day, I tried some dogfood. Specifically, dogfood that my dog didn't want.
We'd bought a small packet of puppy food that's supposed to be good for the heart. Our pup is picky, and she gets bored easily with the same food every day. So we try to get her different things to eat.
Personally, I don't think it's spoiling her at all, if we gave her something different every once in a while, though, we're avoiding those premium wet, meaty stuff. Animals (and humans for that matter) are a lot smarter if we engage their brain all the time. The only issue is that most dog food are sold in huge packets. Still, what with the variety of pet food in the market, we manage.
Now, the puppy food in question was a green, heart-shaped piece hidden among many others with different flavours and colours. My pup hated it. She'd shy away from it when I hold it out for her. She hated it so much, that she pushed it all the way outside the house for the chicken to eat. The chicken didn't like it either.
So I got curious. What's this thing that my poo-eating dog and poo-eating chicken didn't want to eat? So, this poo-eating human picked it out and tasted it ... Hmmmm...
Veggie flavour. Tastes just like this no-cholesterol, no-fat, no-fun health snack I had once - dessicated okra (lady's finger). It was pretty gross, both the puppy food and health snack. I'm starting to think that using the word "healthy" on a product is only an excuse to get people to buy disgusting, cheaply-produced stuff at high prices.
As for my pup, when she saw that I'd eaten it, she looked at me with a face that plainly said, "Are you daft, girl? That's gross! Ewww".
And then later, she gave me a lick on the cheek, as if to say, "Thanks for trying to understand."
Maybe some sacrifices are worth it.
All the same, I wonder if that stray cat hanging around my garden would eat this stuff...

Sam: You don't like raisins?
Joon: Not really.
Sam: Why?
Joon: They used to be fat and juicy, and now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen. Well, they taste sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes.
Haha!
