Wouldn't you rather have a pork chop?

Apparently I’m only going to write about my dogs…..

But, yeah, I’ve been reading this book about dogs and the guy who wrote it says dogs don’t care about variety in their diet. They can eat the same thing everyday everyday everyday and they don’t mind.

My question is, “Oh, yeah? How the hell do you know? Just because you’ve written a book you know?" 

I’ve written three books and I don’t know jack shit.

Isn’t it weird how anytime we think science is involved we tend to believe it unquestioningly? And we say we live in a ‘secular’ era. Science is experimental and, what’s more, repeatable. Very few of the famous human psychology experiments of the past have proven to be repeatable. If you have to stomp your foot and insist climate change is 'settled science’, it isn’t settled science, by definition. Most science today (in the media) is really just the opinions of our modern day druids, the scientists.

Amen.

I try to imagine the repeatable experiment this book author guy did that proves beyond any reasonable doubt that dogs don’t mind eating the same shit day after day. Did he take a puppy, feed it the same thing its whole life, then ask it on its death bed, "Did you mind that?”

I know for an absolute FACT that my dogs prefer pork chops over the ordinary but healthy kibble I feed them on a daily basis. About twice a month I buy them each a pork chop with a bone and I tell you on those nights, it’s party time.

They’re like, “Kibble? What kibble? It’s fucking Pork Chop Night!”

Obviously they prefer pork chops over their kibble. If dogs can obviously prefer, doesn’t that mean that they are capable of preferring?
