mmm mmm dog biscuits!

Besides working at the nonprofit as their events coordinator I am also working at a Wedding Boutique assisting with weddings and helping out at the shop. At work today we had a sidewalk sale. Being the new girl, my job was to sit outside with the sale and make sure no one walked away with anything. It was a beautiful day and lots of people came by. You see three things in the West loop on a Saturday.. couples, babies and dogs. I would say 97% of the people I saw had at least one of these. Chicago is a very, very dog friendly city. People take their dogs to restaurants, into stores, they are everywhere. We set out a dog bowl and jar of dog biscuits for the puppies to stop on their walk. One woman walked by and got two biscuits out. Her dog was a puppy and couldnt bite into an entire biscuit by herself. So the owner bit the biscuit, with her own mouth. Not only did she split the biscuit with her mouth, she ate half and gave her dog the other half! It was so unexpected my jaw dropped. She continued to do the same with the other biscuit. Now, I have grown up with dogs my entire life, and never, NEVER, would I consider sharing food with my dogs. The best part... she came back again and got another biscuit to split with her dog! BAH!!!
