Um what did she just ask me? Admittedly, it had been a long week, but I was fairly certain I had heard my Mom correctly. My parents, up from Florida to visit and celebrate the birth of my SassySis’s newest addition, had been staying with me for a week. We were prepping our dinner for the night and had just fed the dog. At this point my sweet Mama asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks.
“Did you try Watson’s food to make sure it’s good for him?”
Um. do you mean did I research it, ask the breeder, read the back of the bag? Yes, I did all of those things.
“No honey, when we had Sandy I tried a piece of her food to make sure it tasted good too. That’s all the dogs get to eat, you want to make sure they will like it.”
Cue the disbelief? Is this what one is supposed to do? OMG. So sweet, but so. NO. I guess it’s decided. I am not as good a pet Mama as my Mother because I did not sample my Dog’s food to see if it was tasty. Even though all the ingredients say I probably could.
Pass the wine.
Yes Mom after i drink this bottle of wine i will give the food a try…..
Uhm no. Although there was that one time I got canned food out of the can…and then stuck the fork in my mouth while I went to do something. To be fair I was about 14 at the time 😉
I’m with you on this issue. I love my dog and until just a second ago I thought i’d do just about anything for him because he owns my heart but no, I’ll let him eat my food but never the reverse. Your mom wins hands down!!!!!!!!!!
That’s funny, but I don’t think I would taste it either, yuck..lol
Am I a bad pet mommy if I don’t try my cats food? :c lol
My furman will only eat something , if i pretend to eat it lol , silly dog is so spoiled , i make smacking noises saying oh this is delish , he smells to see if i actually did eat it , lol i just rub the food on my lip and he thinks it must be good enough if shes eating it lol , what we won’t do for our dogs hahaha 🙂 lol kudos to your mom for actually eating , it i just pretend
Too funny
Love your post! I’m still giggling!
I have never tried my dogs food, but when I was little me and my bff used to eat milk bones, but back then everything was a lot safer..lol
Looks like the sampling of dog and puppy food is not so uncommon after all!! 🙂
My cousin once tried those doggy bacon treats…..I have never seen her fun so fast!
Those bacon treats do smell good!
that dog is adorable!
Thank you, we think he’s pretty cute too!
I have tried dog treats and food too! Usually very bland.
Love that we’ve found some other testers here! My Mom is not alone!
My mother would die before she would eat dog food :). Or cat food, for that matter.
I think I would eat dog food before cat food. My cat’s food is soft and smelly! Ick.
This made me laugh! I can honestly say I’ve never tried our dog’s food either.
I have to admit, I admire her bravery 🙂
