Sometimes that thing you're eating really is the best thing in the whole world.
You just can't get away from ads telling you that you could be thinner,
better and happier if you'd just ignore your natural craving for tasty
delights. As I type this, I'm watching my dog Dexter lovingly nibble on
a yummy dog treat, and I don't believe I've ever seen him happier. Why
can't we just enjoy what we eat, without feeling guilty all the time?
Dean Koontz, most famous for his suspense thriller novels, dove head
first into dog lover’s hearts this summer, when he released a memoir
all about his beloved dog, Trixie.
To me, Dexter was the perfect mutt. We adopted him from a shelter, and
it was largely because of him that I got back in shape, just to keep up
with his amazing athleticism. In fact, it was long walks with Dexter
that inspired me to again take up my childhood love of hiking among the
majestic peaks of Colorado.
One such hike was in the midst of some crushing personal struggles
surrounding my work, my family and my faith. I felt completely
abandoned in my struggles. To escape from the stress, a friend and I
took Dexter for a hike up one of Colorado’s highest peaks.
As the owner of pet site who happens to do almost all of his own programming, I get to indulge in my own silly ideas all the time.
Case in Point: The Dog Poop Calculator. That's right. You can enter the breed of dog you have, and the calculator takes the typical weight, food intake and lifespan of that breed to tell you exactly how many pounds of dog doo you will be scooping over the course of your dog's life.
It will even tell you the equivalent in number of iPhones, Big Macs and VW Beetles.
It's hard to believe a simple Fido Fleece dog coat could mean the difference between life and death.
I was getting ready to go to bed one night, and Dexter got up from his dog bed in my bedroom, took a few steps, and threw up.
"Dexter!" I yelled, "Outside!"
I
thought that he must have just had some indigestion, as dog's often do.
I was immediately fretting about the mess I'd have to clean up. Little
did I know that in a few hours, Dexter would be fighting for his life.
