Some dogs don't have an easy life.

I watched a tiny bit of the National Dog Show on Thursday, after the
parade, and they said "and this breed is new to the show this year" so I
looked it up. And because of inbreeding for the "good" characteristics,
some breeds suffer from bad joints and such.

They probably also don't get as much exercise as they need. So it may
seem like a good life, lying around most of the day watching tv, but it
really isn't. There's a good reason kids are told when a dog disappears
that they've gone to live on a farm where they can be outside all day
playing.

But I want to know if the dogs smoke the pot, or have it mixed in with
their dog food, or maybe they want it in baked goods. I won't say
brownies since chocolate is bad for dogs.

I think it stopped being funny at least a decade before then.

I wouldn't know, I don't watch K9 News (which likely exists in some
fashion on some cable channel).

Maybe carob is dog-friendly. On the other hand, I've had some of those
carob brownies, and they aren't anything to write home about. Though, I
suspect some of those alternative ingredient recipes are more about using
the other ingredients rather than making things taste good. I've tried
making gluten free cookies for people who can't tolerate gluten, and they
aren't very appealing. I figure one has to work at it, keep trying (and
have guinea pigs to try them on) until one finds gluten free or carob
recipes that actually taste good.

The local organic foods type store in town, as far as I recall, has never
made a desert item that tasted good.

There's some faux stuff made from carob and peanut butter but it's been
around for years and never seemed to catch on which tells me it either
isn't really good for dogs or dogs don't like it.
