We have a huge glass cookie jar where we keep the milkbones. I like to keep it sort of full, because it looks silly with only a handful of milkbones. When it is full it looks pretty – so I normally buy those big boxes of milkbones. (btw – target sells milkbones at half the price of petsmart).
This weekend I was pouring the big box into the glass jar, and I noticed that the milkbone colors were different. There was no green milkbone! Now, I've always seriously questioned the reasoning behind having a green milkbone in general, since I'm pretty sure I'm never had a dog who loved vegetables. I wouldn't want a vegetable cookie as a treat, and I sort of doubt Briscoe would either. She's never complained, but I always feel a little guilty when I give one dog a sausage milkbone and the other dog a vegetable milkbone.
Well, I don't have to feel guilty anymore! Right on the milkbone box it said – TWO NEW MEATY FLAVORS! I guess the dogs of the world have spoken and have risen up to demand meaty treats over vegetable treats. I don't blame them.
But the green milkbones did give a color contrast to the glass jar that I'm going to miss.
the thin line between optimism and delusion...
