National Personal Chef Day


July 16.  National Personal Chef Day.  We canines have our own personal chefs.  They are called our humans.  And some are more creative than others.  Some humans make specially prepared meals for their dogs every day.  Some put a scoop in bag of kibble or open a can and serve that.  And for some it is a combo of both.  If left to my own devices, I would be QUITE happy to help myself to my own meals.  But the result would not be good.  I would quickly become a 100 lb PON.



And speaking of weight gain – a new study just came out in England that indicates we purebred pups are becoming a bit too portly.  The researchers looked at almost 1000 photos of dogs taken at the Crufts Dog show between 2001 and 2013.  And it seems about 25% of the dogs were a bit too robust.  Especially pugs, basset hounds and labs. They didn’t mention PONs.  Thank goodness.



There is probably no coincidence that humans are ALSO a bit too portly these days.  Perhaps a solution to the weight problem is for chunky humans to get out and take their chunky dogs for a walk.  Problem solved.



Now excuse me while I go and see what is on the menu for today.  Hey….now there’s an idea – dog restaurants!  Mind you, the dining time would be pretty quick…

Cheers!
