I think they call them "nooners" now...

Someone’s been reading “Miss Marple”.Don't know about dogfood pricing, but cat food isn't all that cheap! You'd think she could have bought canned human food (soup, chili, even [ugh] spaghetti-o's) for the same price. Canned pet food even smells nasty.
We've always noticed that dog snacks. on a per pound basis. are more expensive than things like first quality canned chicken or canned salmon. The dog likes the canned chicken much better.On the dog food/cat food VS other foods issue, I was just thinking at the Meijer store last night that $1.29 for a box of Rice Pilaf isn't bad at all and I'd get 3-4 large servings of it. Cat food is $1.59 for a can that's only 1 serving.
So, if I'm down on my luck, I'd go with rice and beans VS dog or cat food. Just saying.

On the flip side of that, I had a dog that just pined for human food. Pizza was his favorite and when my 92 year old F-I-L took too long for his dinner prayer, the dog grabbed two slices of his favorite meat lover's pizza right off Pop's plate. Ouch.On that note, anyone ever eat a dog biscuit? I tried a milk bone back in my teens and I have to tell you, that was flavorless. I imagine particle board would taste the same.
It leads me to conclude that dogs have low standards.
Any pet that pulled that at my house would earn itself a one-way ticket to the pound.On the flip side of that, I had a dog that just pined for human food.

Then again, a dog will eat it's own puke. Can't imagine how that would be appetizing.At least in humans the sense of smell and taste are related...since most dogs have a more acute sense of smell...it could be they also have an enhanced sense of taste...
...it might explain how they can even taste something as fast as they can wolf something down...!
