Duke is my boyfriend Drew's dog. I usually don't like dogs, which I know is blasphemy in the eyes of some, but it's true. I tend to think that dogs...actually pets in general are kind of a strange phenomenon. But I might actually like a dog!
Duke is super playful and happy. He never get's growly or mean and he really enjoys gnawing on buffalo bones leftover from butchering. Yes that is a bison shin and hoof he is carrying.
This weekend Drew decided it was time to get Duke some new toys. The bones were getting a little nasty...so we went to petland and got him this rope/ball thing and a special bite proof dog frisby which was all very exciting. However, as I am not much of an animal person I was caught off guard in my little excursion to this pet lovers haven. I didn't realize there are so many animal products out there-it was like super wal-mart for pets-clothing, accessories, jewelry, food, beds, shelter and toys all under one roof. I honestly thought some of the puppy toys could have been used for actual babies and children...teething rings, rattles, chew rings-all in easy to see primary colors and sequenced in developmental stages(wierd?)...I should also not forget to mention the aisles and aisles of CLOTHING! There was even a SNUGGIE(the strange blanket with sleeves)for dogs!!
What ever happened to the days when dogs ate table scraps and played fetch with a stick??
Enough of my rant. I got to play frisbee and tug of war with Duke all Sunday afternoon in the sunshine. It was a good day.
PS- It was not my intent to offend pet product consumers.
Goooood night
