Owner’s Perspective

Picture this: it’s been a long, exhausting day. The kind of day where the only thing you want to do when you get home is to crawl into bed and fall into a blissful sleep. But as any dog owner knows, duties call long before bed does. On such tired evenings, I usually prepare a healthy and nutritious meal for Daisy, my dear Labrador. However, this particular night, my tired brain decided on an easier route.

Daisy has her usual favorites. She’s particularly fond of Sportsman’s Pride FieldMaster Pro, from The Hungry Puppy. But, on this exhausting evening, with deadlines looming over my head and a sea of emails to reply to, I opted for a simple canned dog food just for once (I promise it was just once).

I watched Daisy as she approached her food bowl. She sniffed the food, eyed it suspiciously, took a nibble, and then stepped back. Now, if you’ve seen a Lab refusing food, you know something is amiss. She stared at me, betrayed, her tail absolutely still. Guilt washed over me.

Daisy’s Dire Declaration

Dog lovers, you should have seen it. The DISGRACE. The BETRAYAL. I, Daisy, the Labrador, had been served…canned food. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I was ready for dinner. It was the usual time when my belly tells me that the feast will soon arrive. The aroma of Sportsman’s Pride always awakens my taste buds, and I salivate at the mere thought of the rich bites. But NOT TODAY. Something was OFF.

The aroma was different. I was suspicious, but then again I thought maybe it’s a mix up. I am a PATIENT girl. So I waited. And then I saw it. A plain old can.

MY HEART SANK. I felt tricked. Lured into disappointment by the hope of a sumptuous dinner. I sniffed it, and my worst fears were confirmed. It was not Sportsman’s Pride. But I persevered. I, Daisy, am not a drama queen. So, I took a tentative nibble. But I couldn’t bear it. The offending taste! The lack of crunchy texture! I retreated with a heart full of sorrow.

Crisis Averted

My guilt made it impossible to ignore for long. The next day after work, I drove straight to The Hungry Puppy. I headed over to their premium dog food section, found Daisy’s beloved Sportsman’s Pride FieldMaster Pro, and bought it immediately. This time, no half measures.

Upon returning home, as I unloaded the kibble into Daisy’s bowl, I saw her tail wagging, a spectacle I had missed dearly. As soon as she saw her favorite food back in her bowl, she feasted, and for a moment, all was right in the world. It didn’t take Daisy long to forgive me, the wagging tail and playful nudges were enough evidence.

Crisis averted. Tail wagging restored. Dog no longer hates me (until the next brain lapse).
