I'm the type of dog owner you hate

Quote of the Day: "When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere." Sal Robeson in Pi

A couple of months ago, we switched from canned to dry dog food. This week, we ran out of canned and had to switch to our leftover dry food, which my dachsund, though it was perfectly acceptable before we switched to canned, refused to eat.

The other night, she was so hungry that she laid on her back and moaned until we fed her some ham. Finally, we gave in and bought her a couple of cans of 'Ol Roy.

Unfortunately, 'Ol Roy is not her regular canned food. She timidly sniffed at the food and hesitantly gnawed at a chunk before she finally turned up her nose at the muck. I considered waiting until she got starved enough that she absolutely had to eat the dry stuff, but I'm not that strong. We got her the food she likes.

If I have kids and they get this spoiled, I'm giving them to the pound.
