Is It weird?

Is it weird to envy your dog the food he’s eating? This isn’t about money; it’s about ease and lack of effort. Don’t get me wrong; I like cooking, and I like to eat however it gets tedious, cooking every single day and there are days when I envy my dog being able to have a bowl of kibble. He doesn’t have to think about a balanced diet, it’s all in his kibble. I alternate the flavour of his kibble, and of course he has a clean bowl each time and fresh water, but that’s it. No sinks full of dishes. No buying lots of different foods to ensure a balanced diet. Just kibble. Sometimes I wish there was a human equivalent so that when I’m bored of food shopping, cooking, and washing up, I too could have a bowl of kibble.

A previous dog used to have tinned dog food, specifically Winalot Prime, and I used to envy her that too; it always looked so good. I used to think if I could put a pastry lid on it, it would make a great meat pie. I never did it as I’ve no idea if dog food is fit for human consumption though it did look and smell good.

In my teens I used to pinch the dogs Shapes, especially the yellow ones. Man they tasted good. I’ve often been told I have nice shiny hair, and strong teeth LMAO! For the record, I don’t pinch my dog’s biscuits; I don’t fancy Bonio’s.

So, is it weird? I suspect that it is…

Finally, reading the news these past few weeks the following stories have been highlighted:
A Doctor has been struck off and faces jail time after he took intimate secret photos of his female patients, and sexually assaulted them.
2 Police officers were filmed stealing goods from a mock up house as part of an undercover sting.
We’ve had Ministers who make false claims on their expenses, then all but get away with it!
A teacher (head teacher?) was struck off after he secretly filmed children using the toilets (my son’s school briefly had cameras in the toilets. When pupils found out, they all refused to drink so that they didn’t need the toilet all day. This isn’t healthy, and the cameras were removed. This was ‘allegedly’ done to discourage bullying in the toilets and pupils missing class).
There are always stories of ministers/priests who have assaulted children.
What the hell is the UK becoming? Is there anyone that we can trust anymore?

It does sound a good idea Fran - cos I live on my own and there are days when I just don't know what I fancy to eat and the thought of having to cook something is really off putting, but to be able to snack on a bowl of kibble [though I don't know what it smells or tastes like] would be ideal. I have two cats and there's no way I'd nibble on their food, don't fancy sticking my nose into gravy. LOL

As for the news, it's so depressing and as you say - who can we trust nowadays. There are people who are now being prosecuted for immoral behaviour and I'm shocked to discover who it is. I think we are getting to hear so much about it because of Twitter and Facebook and such like, because it can be put out there anonymously.

Thanks both. My dog's kibble doesn't actually smell that much at all, it looks like small round biscuits.
Jenny - I often wish there was a human version so when we don't feel like making the effort, we can still have a well balanced meal. Oh well... lol

Thanks Summer. I've often thought of a pill too, one that gives you everything you need nutritionally and fills you up too.

Some of the more expensive Canned animal foods according to experts would not actually harm us, Those for Dogs are probably more appetising than those for Cats because many are fish based but we are advised not to eat them instead of normal human fodder. Eating Dog biscuits, well I tried the yellow ones as a kid, the others smelled of olden days Carpenters bone based Glue except for the black ones which are simply charcoal. I would not want to even try Dry animal foods.
Personally I like to cook even to the point of being inventive on days when I did not shop. I never buy frozen things other than Cod steaks and a few Wok mixes held in case of bad weather or sudden sickness. Canned foods I never have at all.
Sexual abuse of children has always been there, we hear more nowadays because of the Tabloids and coloured weekly magazines that love hanging folk out. Often these misusers are people working with children, scout masters, teachers and so on but they are not alone, it often happens that the Nasty person is your neighbour. Doctors and Dentists have often been struck off due to doing what they should not to their patients.

Pills as used by Space pilots are not a good idea, at least not for long periods.

Thanks both. I've never eaten the dog's food, it was just a thought that often occurs to me when I'm bored with cooking, and sometimes even bored with eating yet I'm hungry. His food is well balanced, nutritious, and so easy - just open the sack and pour. Sometimes I wish we could do the same. Only sometimes...
