Purina diet:
I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dog Lola and was > in line to checkout.> A woman behind me asked if I had a dog........ Duh
I was feeling a bit crabby so on impulse, I told her no, I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I had awakened in an intensive care unit with tubes coming out > of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms. Her eyes about bugged out of her head. I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally buying it. I told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that the way it works is to load your pockets or purse with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The package said the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a tall guy behind her. Horrified, she asked if something in the dog food had poisoned me and was that why I ended up in the hospital. I said no........I'd been sitting in the street licking my butt when a car hit me. I thought the tall guy was going to have to be carried out the door. Submitted by Diana Doiron http://www.americanbrittanyrescue.org/
Yes, this is a lazy entry but has the sense of the holiday shopping stress level. That and Seamus purely destroyed a bag of bows recently when I left my office for 5 minutes. Two weekends ago I did a transport for 2 Brittanies going to their forever homes for the Brittany rescue. THis is an amazing thing to be the last hand off for a dog that has traveled from Kentucky to Connecticut to be a Christmas dog for his new family. The best part was the phone call from the new mom crying and telling how much she already loved Max. As Seamus rolled over and looked at me, I said I know.. I know...
