Tricky Dog Treats.

Jason and I love to eat. We just love food. And none of that healthy crap. We want the stuff that'll clog our arteries and make us feel nauseous after we eat it. Ya know, the good food.

Our love for this kind of nourishment has us on the brink of eating dog treats. At this moment, I'm crossing my fingers, hoping for some willpower (which I've never had before when it comes to food). Let me explain.

Jason and I continually try to diet. Notice that key word "try." Also refer back to paragraph one about healthy stuff.. One way we're trying to help ourselves is by not bringing snacks into the house. One of my super powers is devouring a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos in the blink of an eye.

But, being good pet parents we like to buy treats for our furry babies. Recently we bought this big ass canister of cheese flavored pup corn. For those of you not in the know, that would be popcorn for dogs (popcorn - another thing that I can't live without).
Please excuse the fuzziness. I am THE one Asian who
can't use a camera.
We have this canister just sitting on a half wall we have in our kitchen. Out in the open. Where we see it everyday. At a glance, the treats do resemble popcorn or some other delicious cheesy (human) snack. Jason says he keeps seeing cheese balls.
C'mon. You know you want some.

But, look closer...


I'm trying to decide how disgusted I'd be with myself for delving into the dogs' treats. I'm pretty sure I'd be disgusted with myself... I mean, the label does say "healthy" and you know how I feel about that word.

  1. OMG Missy, this is so funny, partly because it's fucking sick, but mostly because I used to have Pupcorn, and the same desires. Barf Thanks for writing this, as we're rescuing a pup from one of your gas chamber shelters down there, and I was wondering about treats. We get him tomorrow. Blue will live!!!!

    1. Did you ever act on your desires? So far I'm being strong... so far.

      Where are you getting the dog from and when are you getting him? That's awesome and Blue is a great name.

    1. I can't bring myself to try these... But, I actually have tried other dog treats. I took a small bite of some chicken jerky.

  4. When she tries them, and eventually she will, of that I have no doubt, I will be there camera at the ready. However this is all dependent on whether I don't finally freak out and throw them to the four winds because they have tricked me one time too many into thinking we had cheese balls or cheese curls at the ready for consumption.

    1. See, I'm just trying to wait you out to see if you give in first. You were stronger than me with those new tortilla chips we bought yesterday. I'm the one who almost devoured that whole bag.

  5. Hahaha!! I cannot love this enough! Quote: "brink of eating dog treats"! Lol! And I have to agree with Jason too, before I saw they were dog-shaped (so cute!!) I thought they were cheese balls too. Haha! You must try one! :) And report back. Because I'm curious too. Haha!

    1. The temptation was curtailed this weekend because I ate so much crap... Plus with our heading to Ikea 2 bleeping days in a row, I wasn't home long enough to remember those "cheese balls." But, the Ikea annoyance was worth it because of our awesome new couch!
