Pet product marketing at a new low

Earlier, I was just looking at the bag of dog treats my housemates got for our pet. Being bored, I read the package and didnt see anything out of the ordinary UNTIL I got to the end of the bag. My hand to God the feeding instructions on this bag of Pup-peroni reads...

"Feed as a snack to have more special moments with your dog."

For the Love of Mary, seriously? Thats the best the marketing people could come up with? Get real. I suppose the scary piece of this is that there are people out there who read that and say "Awww" and throw a treat at their dog.

One more thing - you are NOT a pet parent. Angels and Ministers of Grace defend us. That is a serious all time low. I realize you love your pet, but you are best suited to parent members of your own species. Pet parent. Wow. As MBW would say , "Thats just beyond the pale." Sorry Caprice - I know you love your dogs.
