  1. No really, this is not a hoax. Andrew Blake is a well known and
    respected chef. I saw the ad in this morning's paper (Tuesday is Epicure
    morning) and nearly choked on my toast.

    Have a look at the menu. The dogs eat better than their owners - fancy
    wasting braised beef cheek on a dishlicker! I'm wondering what would
    happen if an owner ordered off the doggy menu.

    We'll have to take Sam and Rosie and check it out!

    There's a first for everything!!! Do the dogs get to stand on chairs and
    eat off plates? I sure hope they have different color plates for the
    dogs. EWWWWW!!!!

    I was curious about nutrition labels.

    So that's where all the airline food went!

    Just saw a story on TV here about a chef (really, a chef) that designed and
    cooked meals one at a time for dogs at this restaurant or hotel. Stupid
    people with more money than sense. I mean these meals had presentation to
    rival anything you have seen presented for wealthy humans.

    I saw an article in the newspaper i subscribe to (you might have heard
    of it, it is world famous now: Jyllandsposten) about that:

    http://www.jp.dk/udland/artikel:aid=3612656/

    It was about USA that there are more pets than people now, and they
    are treated too much like humans, but people forget to give them a good
    upbringing, so there's a rise in lawsuits. Love is not enough to set
    them straight. It also mentions that pet friendly restaurants have a pet
    menus (like $20 for a dog plate incl. bottled water). It is also a
    problem that e.g. dogs are supposed to be 20 h a day with their flocks,
    but with humans as their flocks, they are only together 8-10 h.

    Humans are their packs. I had dogs when I worked, they didn't
    seem the worse for wear when they were home alone all day.
    People who work really long hours shouldn't have dogs, in my
    opinion, if there isn't anyone else home all day. Of course that is
    my opinion, but if your pets are alone all the time, it seems to me
    to be unfair to the dog.

    We've got the 3 Dog Bakery in Ladue. They originated in Kansas City (I
    think). They even have a to go menu. The chefs actually had a spot on
    FoodTV for a year or so. Missy loves the place. Her fave snack is the
    white chocolate bisquit. Right now I'm feeding Missy, Hoot, Ramsey and
    Bart. Little gluttons, all of them. Ramsey just got his last vet check
    yesterday. He's normal on temp a bloods. I am SOOOOO... happy.

    That's basically what the article said: how can you wonder that the dog
    becomes aggressive and chews the furniture if it, while being a flock
    animal, is alone all day.

    I work a couple of days a week and the animals are hateful when I finally
    get home. They like for me to be at home. I've always had dogs, even when
    I worked long hours. They get used to it but they get lazy. My Scotties
    were total couch potatoes. I say this now but I know I'm lying; Missy will
    be my last dog. Mother says me without a dog is like me without an arm. I
    love my puss cats though. Hoot is just evil. Ramsey is the lover boy. I
    accidentally stepped on Bart last night. I think she has forgiven me. She
    rubbed on me this morning.

    Michael <- Fed the cats California Chicken Supreme this morning from
    Nutro; along with their hairball formula dry food. Missy had her usual
    Science Diet dry food and of course some milk to wash it down with.

    There seems to be some assumption that those are dogs. Last
    I heard, pet cats outnumber pet dogs. Then you have birds, fish,
    hampsters, rabbits, etc etc etc.

    I was saying, I had a dog, she chewed when she was a puppy, but
    not once she got a little older. She was home alone all day. Not
    in the least bit aggressive, either. Same with other peoples dogs.

    No, it is not only dogs. The first line in the article:

    "I år runder antallet af kæledyr i USA som hunde, katte og fugle 360
    millioner - 60 millioner flere, end der er amerikanere. Men kærligheden
    til dyr er langt fra uproblematisk. "

    "This year the number of pets in USA such as dogs, cats, and birds
    amount to 360 million - 60 million more than there are Americans. But
    the love for animals is far from unproblematic."

    That means that you did not neglect its upbringing. You are a good
    dogowner. The problem addressed in the paper was that there are too few
    like you.

    There's almost no such thing. The corner of my property contains a small
    garden area. It also contains a street sign, and because dogs are so weird,
    they all like to stop at sign posts and other structures. Because of the
    flowers, I regularly ask dog criminals (in a calm voice, with a smile)
    "Could you please NOT let your dog stop there?" Invariably, these criminals
    fail that simple citizenship test and ask "Why?" Pardon me? Because it's my
    garden and I make the rules on this property! And these are the so-called
    "good" dog owners, who have a cleanup bag in their hands.

    Actually, the sidewalk doesn't matter as a factor, if, as in many places,
    there's another strip of grass. That grass is the homeowner's property. It's
    a common misconception that it's public property, but in fact, the town and
    the utilities have permanent easements to work on the strip. Still private
    property though.

    That should not even be legal. What happens to it when it dies?

    If the person hates the relatives, give it to research or something like
    that.
