I saw an article recently that stated that dogs are living too long; their lives are being extended by drugs and that basically these old dogs are miserable. But then I hear commercials on the radio stating that dogs don’t live as long as they used to but you can change that if you feed your dog Farmer’s Choice or whatever it’s called. This radio guy tells us that his dog Winston used to eat table scraps but now that he’s eating Farmer’s Choice, Winston is more like a puppy again.
The author of the article may be having some disconnect between dog years and real years. (“Dogs used to live to 84 and my dog died when he was 11.”) I bet that’s it.
As to the owner of Winston, we here at UT have a pretty quick solution: The owner of Winston needs to take that $160 a month that he gives to Farmer’s Choice and spend it on his own meals. Then he can still give little Winston table scraps and he and Winston both eat better. That, my readers, is a win-win.
In hindsight, when you name a dog after a cigarette, how long do you really expect him to live?
