Stupid peaceful protests

I had no idea my dog read about Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

I buy relatively expensive dry dog food, Pedigree Complete. It is very sensible for the adult dog, plus it now has cream filled nuggets. I haven't sampled it yet, but the advertising said that dogs love it. Of course, research shows that cat poop is possibly the most delicious thing for a dog to eat, but they haven't filled any of the nuggets with those little delicacies.

Back to the story. She hasn't been eating it. It will pile up for a day, maybe a day and a half. I had no idea I was subjected to the canine version of a hunger strike, yet I caved in like the British. If she took too long, I would occasionally add some bacon grease that I save in a jar in the fridge. She loves bacon grease, but I hate to inject pure fat into her already relatively fatty system. She's not horrifically obese like certain other pets I could mention, but I would like her to live a long and happy life.

Every day she uses those cute mannerisms to slowly force me to buy canned dog food. She never surrendered to the thought of violence, tearing out my throat for the fresh meat she probably craves. No, she simply wags her tail, gets cuddly, and leaves me no viable option but surrender. Trader Joe's dog food is good stuff, and I mix a little into the bowl every day now. Healthier than bacon grease, cheaper than therapy.
