Appreciation

All pets deserve the opportunity to feel loved and appreciated. A number of us at Chicken Soup for the Soul have adopted animals from shelters. So, when it came time to shoot the photos for our new pet food packaging, we had an idea. Instead of paying for “professional” pet models, we donated money to a local shelter and featured some of their cats and dogs. We are proud that each of the pets featured on our

Brand Dog FoodSnack Attack

From Chicken Soup for the Soul: I Can’t Believe My Dog Did That!

Food should be fun.~Thomas Keller

Wishbone is quite fussy and also a bit of a drama queen. He prefers dog food of the highest quality — and price — and has a particular gentlemanly way about him. He likes routine, and he prefers his bowl to always be in the same spot in the kitchen — although when the weather is nice he doesn’t mind dining al fresco. Wishbone won’t take a treat from you unless you ask him to sit first. He likes to demonstrate how well behaved he is. For him, the chance to show off is as much of a treat as any dog snack could ever be. A few months ago, Wishbone went off anything that was cube shaped. He would eat all of his dinner; the round, crunchy beef-flavoured bits, the odd-shaped, green vegetable bits, but he wouldn’t touch the cubes. Not only that, but he would pick them up through gritted teeth, one tiny cube at a time, and place them in a neat, symmetrical row alongside his bowl for everyone to see. Almost like a military line-up of kibble. He’d eaten cubes for six years previously, but now, for some reason, they were off limits. His brother Nibbles, or Nobs as he’s been nicknamed, is not quite as fussy. In fact, he’s not fussy at all. Nobs has developed a particular liking for carrots recently, but his snack selection hasn’t always been so healthy. The first few months of Nobs’ life coincided with a period that became commonly known in our household as The Great Disappearance. It began with the first big food shop. I was certain I had bought a packet of fresh salmon. In fact, I was certain that I had taken it out of the shopping bag and placed it on the side, but when I turned to get it to put in the fridge, it was gone. Where had it gone? Straight into Nobs’ belly. Wishbone on the other hand was once offered fresh prawns, but turned his nose up. I guess they weren’t organic or something. As I said, he has very high standards. Over the next few weeks the salmon was joined by an entire loaf of bread — which poor Nobs couldn’t hide very well, as it swelled up inside him like a big, yeasty balloon. He didn’t keep it down for very long. Shortly after, Nobs stole a cream-cheese-stuffed jalapeno from the barbeque. And that

too didn’t stay down. Until then, I had never seen a dog physically cry. Wishbone simply looked at his gluttonous brother in disgust. How could he be so uncouth? This was just the tip of the iceberg though. These at least were all food stuffs. During the first year of their lives, Wishbone snacked on dog food, dog treats and the occasional tin of sardines. All things that he was allowed to have, and that were perfectly acceptable. Nobs, meanwhile, ate his way through shoes, socks, and hats before slowly progressing to more expensive items such as mobile phones, television remotes, the chargers for both, DVDs, books and even a computer mouse. Then he began to tackle bigger items — kitchen cupboards, the sofa, my bed, the guest bed, his own bed even. He ate inconvenient things, like my passport, and money. He ate messy things, including a blue pen, which he chomped while sitting on my crisp white bed sheets (where he was not allowed to be I hasten to add). Then he got more adventurous and injected some danger into things by snacking on a serrated bread knife, some kitchen scissors, and a lighter. The ultimate in his culinary expedition, though, was the venomous green snake that I caught him sampling when I came home one day. He wasn’t sure what to do with it at first. Should he eat it? Should he play with it? What he should have done was leave it alone, but there was no telling him that. There was a good ten minutes of Nobs throwing the snake up in the air while it swung at him viciously. I frantically tried to call him away from the snake before he was bitten. In the end the snake didn’t make it, but not before poor Nobs got a nip on the tongue, causing him to spend two days under close observation, receiving medication to counter the effects of the bite. However, he was given lots of treats during this time so it wasn’t all bad. Wishbone and Nobs are middle aged now. They are coming up to their seventh birthday and, if anything, Wishbone has gotten even fussier. Cubes are back on the menu this week, but anything chicken flavoured is off. As for Nobs, he still eats anything. Including cubes.
