You're welcome -- I think -- but . . .

This guy says his dog loves back-to-school time because he finds plenty of tossed-away sandwiches in the bushes near the school, and adds:

On Fido's behalf, thanks, Moms, for making such great food.

But I don't make school lunches -- the kids do. (Well, one of them does, and the other is about to start.)

It cuts down on unpleasant surprises, on both ends. Besides --

No one under the age of 19 is going to waste time and effort making a sandwich he doesn't like just to keep his mother happy, then throw it into the shrubbery or feed it to a dog. Only adults can make the mental contortions that might make that seem like the right thing to do.

I could say more, but writing about not feeding people food to animals is something I do for pay, and this is a holiday weekend.
