LONDON (Reuters) - Britain is living up to its reputation as a nation of dog lovers with many owners feeding their four-legged friends healthier and tastier meals than they serve up for themselves, a survey published Wednesday said.Sophzilla gets a very boring diet of potato/venison dog food with a little canned dog food mixed in as "gravy." I'm not swapping plates with her any time soon.A study of 1,337 British dog owners found that 18 percent fed their pampered pet pooches a better diet than their own, giving them fresh dishes instead of tinned food.
Consequently 21 percent of dogs enjoyed cheese, 15 percent were given fish and 9 percent chomped on vegetables. More.

Eel pie is disgusting, but consider some of the American midwestern delights: fish soaked in lye, blood sausage, jello, and those cauldrons of booya at local fire stations:

Awww, Sophzilla and her headless chicken!!!
The chicken is now in three pieces: head and neck, middle, butt and legs. She adores her chicken! Although, I like her to go after her Santa on a rope because then I get to say, "Go get Santa!" in a menacing voice.
LOL!! Seriously, I'm laughing out loud. THANK YOU!
I can't believe you haven't found her a Dubya to rip into pieces. What's up with that???
(Hey - today's word verification is bossy: hryup.)
That's great. I'm yelling, "Get Santa!" My coworkers are giving me strange looks. That's cause they're all strange lookin'.
I am now on a quest for a Bush chew toy. I think I'd like a whole flock of Bushies, including Paul Wolfowitz, even though he technically doesn't work for Cheney any more.
