Hungry? Grab a Diaper!

If you have dogs, than you know how expensive they can be. Let's forget about the 50 pound bag of food for $50, OK? Lets just talk about the chew toys that keep the dogs attention for just a hair longer than a toddler at Home Depot. What does a Kong go for these days? I think I just paid $10 for a PSEUDO Kong...not even the real deal. This was for a dog that has the jaw strength of T-Rex. Very smart of me, I know. He got bored with that pretty quick. It wasn't so much the boredom, I guess, as it was the fact he turned it into confetti in a matter of 10 minutes. What to do, what to do....

Now, being up higher on the food chain, humans have the ability to make choices. Notice there was no GOOD or BAD choices. I know some people who have the intelligence of a single-cell organism and the only thing missing is the filia to get around. But it has never occurred to me that, if I was bored, or hungry, that a diaper filled with shit and piss would be a yummy snack. I find pieces of it trailing from the trash can and am bewildered by the bad choice. It is kind of like putting cat nip in front of a cat, and then telling the cat "NO" when he goes for it. I have never put a diaper in front of my dog and teased him with it like it was a treat. Yet, like clockwork, once a week or so, I find chewed up diaper. It is beginning to occur to me why my dog coughs like he has a hair ball in the back of his throat. I suppose my body would reject week old fecal matter and nitrogen infested urine crystals too.

So the next time you want to go spend a fortune on items to keep your pet entertained, chuck a diaper at 'em. If you don't have kids, borrow some from the people you work with. Go hang out at WalMart on a weekend and wait by the cart return rack. There is always a used diaper or two in an empty cart. If that doesn't work, buy some Depends Undergarments. Trust me. It is cheaper then going bankrupt buying a Kong a week until arthritis kicks in.
