No really, this is not a hoax. Andrew Blake is a well known and
respected chef. I saw the ad in this morning's paper (Tuesday is Epicure
morning) and nearly choked on my toast.

Have a look at the menu. The dogs eat better than their owners - fancy
wasting braised beef cheek on a dishlicker! I'm wondering what would
happen if an owner ordered off the doggy menu.

We'll have to take Sam and Rosie and check it out!

There's a first for everything!!! Do the dogs get to stand on chairs and
eat off plates? I sure hope they have different color plates for the
dogs. EWWWWW!!!!

I was curious about nutrition labels.

So that's where all the airline food went!

Just saw a story on TV here about a chef (really, a chef) that designed and
cooked meals one at a time for dogs at this restaurant or hotel. Stupid
people with more money than sense. I mean these meals had presentation to
rival anything you have seen presented for wealthy humans.

I saw an article in the newspaper i subscribe to (you might have heard
of it, it is world famous now: Jyllandsposten) about that:

http://www.jp.dk/udland/artikel:aid=3612656/

It was about USA that there are more pets than people now, and they
are treated too much like humans, but people forget to give them a good
upbringing, so there's a rise in lawsuits. Love is not enough to set
them straight. It also mentions that pet friendly restaurants have a pet
menus (like $20 for a dog plate incl. bottled water). It is also a
problem that e.g. dogs are supposed to be 20 h a day with their flocks,
but with humans as their flocks, they are only together 8-10 h.

More pets than people, that doesn't sound right. Does that count
fish?

They are not very common. I have seen doggie day care.

Humans are their packs. I had dogs when I worked, they didn't
seem the worse for wear when they were home alone all day.
People who work really long hours shouldn't have dogs, in my
opinion, if there isn't anyone else home all day. Of course that is
my opinion, but if your pets are alone all the time, it seems to me
to be unfair to the dog.

360 million pets versus 300 million people.

That's basically what the article said: how can you wonder that the dog
becomes aggressive and chews the furniture if it, while being a flock
animal, is alone all day.

There seems to be some assumption that those are dogs. Last
I heard, pet cats outnumber pet dogs. Then you have birds, fish,
hampsters, rabbits, etc etc etc.

I was saying, I had a dog, she chewed when she was a puppy, but
not once she got a little older. She was home alone all day. Not
in the least bit aggressive, either. Same with other peoples dogs.

No, it is not only dogs. The first line in the article:

"I år runder antallet af kæledyr i USA som hunde, katte og fugle 360
millioner - 60 millioner flere, end der er amerikanere. Men kærligheden
til dyr er langt fra uproblematisk. "

"This year the number of pets in USA such as dogs, cats, and birds
amount to 360 million - 60 million more than there are Americans. But
the love for animals is far from unproblematic."

That means that you did not neglect its upbringing. You are a good
dogowner. The problem addressed in the paper was that there are too few
like you.

There's almost no such thing. The corner of my property contains a small
garden area. It also contains a street sign, and because dogs are so weird,
they all like to stop at sign posts and other structures. Because of the
flowers, I regularly ask dog criminals (in a calm voice, with a smile)
"Could you please NOT let your dog stop there?" Invariably, these criminals
fail that simple citizenship test and ask "Why?" Pardon me? Because it's my
garden and I make the rules on this property! And these are the so-called
"good" dog owners, who have a cleanup bag in their hands.

Are their dogs crapping on *your* property or the curb?

There *is* no curb or sidewalk. Grass goes right to the street. My property.

If there is no sidewalk, oh yeah, that's rude as hell!

Actually, the sidewalk doesn't matter as a factor, if, as in many places,
there's another strip of grass. That grass is the homeowner's property. It's
a common misconception that it's public property, but in fact, the town and
the utilities have permanent easements to work on the strip. Still private
property though.

How about the idiot that left $10 million bucks to his f...ing cat and not a
cent to his relatives.

Ditto here...

His relatives probably never gave him the unconditional love that his
cat did.

That's nothing to do with being a good or a bad dogowner though. That's
rudeness to another person not the dog.

That should not even be legal. What happens to it when it dies?

If the person hates the relatives, give it to research or something like
that.
