So at my last visit to the cafeteria around 3 to have coffee with Kevin
there was an intern (company employs college kids for summer help to get their feet wet) in the cafe talking about his new shepard pup. He was saying it will not quit digging up the yard. I mentioned that I had heard filling up the holes with the dogs own pooh and topping it with dirt is supposed to stop it, at least in that spot. Told him didn't know for sure because I had never tried it.
Anywhoo, he said that sounded like something to try and I wished him luck. Then he started talking about his pup not liking his food........this time he looked directly at me, so of course I was compelled to ask what the food was. "Kibbles & Bits" he says I told him there were better foods out there and he may want to look into something without corn or by products.
Then he says what would I recomend? I tell him I used to feed Canadae and as of right now it was not on any recall list. I also told him Solid Gold was another one that I used to use and was happy with.
Kevin has went back to his office and I am alone at my table.............
So by now we have an audience that has stopped their conversations and is listening intently.
He then asks "Used to? Well what do you feed now?" to which I answer honestly "homecooked food"..........Well one of the more loud opinionated woman at his table said "Oh, you mean you mix table scraps in the dog food?"
"No" I said, "I buy ingredients for the dogs and make big pots of food for them then freeze it"
She looked at me for a minute.........then a wide grin spread across her face, then she actually laughed at me!
and of course more people joined in............
I felt horrible sitting there all red faced and alone............I don't even know why it should bother me because I love my dogs and want to do the best I can do..............but it didn't feel very good none the less
