Holmgren, Flores. Interesting. Was the Teacher's name Patera, Knox or Ericson by chance?

Hello, fellow football fan! I was thinking the same thing.

Interesting that the teacher got the packet of dog food from a display of things children were not to eat. Hey, dummy, the kids were only pretending to be dogs.

No not THAT.

I don't think it would hurt the kids. When my now 5 year old son was about a year and a half old I would catch him sneaking food out of the pet's bowls. He later told me he preferred dog food over cat food.

The Democrats will claim that Rossi hasn't even been sworn in and the Republicans are already feeding dogfood to the kids with plans to force it down the mouths of senior citizens . . .

LOL!

A Tacoma School District spokeswoman said the children spat out the dry dog food and no one suffered any ill effects.

If it doesn't hurt the dogs, why would it hurt humans? Humans are after all, ominvores, while dogs, and cats, are basically omivores, who we force to eat vegetable protein in some cases. Dogs seem to have bit of of ominvore in them sometimes, at least some dogs. I might worry about dog food, even dry, that has been sitting around open for too long. But its out of a fresh sack or can, well it might taste like sh*% but you could live on it.

I remember as a kid we would dare to see how many dog bone treats you could eat. Pretty dry as I recall!

[UbonGhostrider]

Many a time while hunting my hounds through the night and into the early morning hours, I just had to have a few of the milk bones I kept in my pocket to make it back to the truck. Tasted just fine,when you are that hungry.

Milk Bones mint flavor arent bad with a glass of milk. My boys would give 1 to the dog and 1 for them, never hurt them in the least and their breathe was always minty fresh :)

[MarMema]

Yuck.

lol

[ChefKeith]

But were your teeth shiny?

LOL

Tried rover's puppy chow a few times when I was young. Not too bad if you are hungry enough. Couldn't get beyond the smell of the catfood, so I never sampled it.

[Flyer]

When the store was out of my dog's usual blend of Purina One , I took home a different mix with salmon as the main ingredient. That was the best smelling dog food I have every come across.

Didn't taste it, though.

[flying Elvis]

I think the pet food marketers are following the lead of fishing lure salespeople. It doesn't have to catch the attention of fish, just fishermen. lol

Seriously, if we made petfood smell like what dogs really enjoyed, it would smell like butt, socks, and underwear.

I use to eat BonZ dog bissquits when i was a kid. I would feed a couple to the dog and keep one for myself they were coated with a beef gravy that was almsot the same flavor as beef jerky
