But to be fair about it, I had to admit that while the gizzards didn’t look very appetizing, they smelled pretty…sniff, sniff…what was that smell? Gag!
Even Slim noticed, and he had the nose of a brick. His eyes widened and his lip curled. “Good honk, I think they’ve started to decompose.”
Decompose! What kind of zoo was this?
He rushed to the back door and threw them outside. On his way back, he looked at me and said, “Don’t eat ‘em, pooch. They’re past their prime.”
I had never been so insulted. Did I look dumb enough to eat a pile of decomposing chicken gizzards? Let me address that question in two stages.
Stage One: I most certainly was NOT dumb enough to eat a pile of crawly decomposing chicken gizzards that smelled so gruesome, he’d pitched them out into the back yard. What kind of moron…
Stage Two: On the other hand, a dog must keep his options open. Until we actually ran tests, we wouldn’t know whether they had become toxic or were just, well, passing through a Cheesy Phase.
See, cheese smells cheesy because it’s aged, and that’s crucial to this whole discussion about our food supply. Many types of food improve during the Aging Process, don’t you know, and we would have to suspend judgment on the material in the back yard until we, uh, received an update on the Breakfast Situation.
It’s pretty amazing that a dog would pay such close attention to diet and nutrition, isn’t it? You bet. Your ordinary run of mutts never give it a thought. They’ll eat anything—scraps, garbage, and the factory-made sawdust products that come in a fifty-pound sack and are passed off as “dog food.”
On this outfit, we make a serious study of what we put into our mouths. We never forget that what we eat is who we are. Food feeds the mind, and the mind of a dog is an awesome thing.
Now, where were we? I have no idea. Tell you what, let’s erase the blackboard, change chapters, get ourselves organized, and regroup on the other side.
I hope you enjoyed our Unit on Nutrition.
