Picture, if you will, this scene:

I'm sitting at my desk, responding to a number of emails and about to concentrate on design work.  All of a sudden, a deep rumbling gurgle emanates from the area of the living room.  The dogs start carrying on and whining.



Is it an earthquake? Not in Georgia. Had some wild creature found its way into the house? Not really.  It was Dear Fiance, performing an unprecedented belch for the entertainment of the dogs. And in spite of myself, I laughed.  Hard.

Now this isn't our usual sort of behavior. We're not rednecks who'll swill down a 12 pack of beer and produce gutteral sounds for the lowbrow entertainment of our friends and family.  We walk upright. Mostly. We have never even owned a bug zapper.

What is it about men that causes them to rejoice in their rumblings so much that they must share with the other animals around them?  Is it a modern Call of the Wild?  I wonder ...

If our dogs were to create their own food pyramid, I think it would involve a lot different stuff than we might imagine.

Here's a starter list:

chew toys
bones
athletic equipment
socks
panties
dog food
treats
table scraps
children's toys
stolen food
seashells stolen from the top of the dining room table arrangement
cat poop from the litter box
grass
old rotten stuff underground (this, of course, requires digging, which is another subject altogether)

They're just ANIMALS!!

Is there anything I'm leaving out?

This may require creating a graphic image of just what the doggie food pyramid would look like if they could create one...
