Gourmet Food

 
Last night I sat dumbfounded as I watched a commercial about dog food that looked prettier than what I feed my own family.  It was made with beef chunks and baby spinach.  Advertised were a variety of flavors including Steak Florentine, Grilled Chicken Primivara, Tuscan Style Stew with Beef, and Steak Tips Sonoma Style Flavor.  I am a crazy bad housewife if people are feeding that to their dogs.  Some nights my family is chowing on cold cereal or peanut butter sandwiches. 

Being a dog owner & lover myself, I know that my dog would turn her nose up at baby spinach.  If she felt otherwise she would've rummaged through my garden.  So, Point 1 - why are dogs/cats on TV eating better than humans in other parts of the world (including the humans in my house)?  Point 2 - who in their right mind serves their pet dinner on a glass or silver platter like shown on the commercials?  I use paper plates whenever possible with my humans.  Who wants to wash dishes after their family is done eating let alone their pets? 

Ummmmm.....anyone?
