More Awesome Than You!

I just discovered that hungry toddlers will eat out of the doggy dish if they're left alone long enough.  Yuck!

Please, can somebody come up with a hack to stop this?

This has certain advantages in the care of sim-spawn...  I wonder how the baby controller would work with this?

help me!  I'm becoming like Pescado!

Cool! I was fed out of a bowl like that when I was that age, y'know. It's so much easier than having to fetch bottles and crap, you just put raw meat in a bowl.

Not only am I not going to stop it, but I'm also going to make it a fallback position for the baby controller. Most excellent.

Is there any hope left for me?    :-\

DOOOOMED! ;D

I knew it!

I guess that's what I get for bringing it up in the first place.  I should have figured you'd say that.....

At any rate it'll make the little rugrats happy.  The picture doesn't really show it, but she was clearly enjoying herself, bits of dog food flying everywhere.

Seems realistic to me! ROFL

My nephew used to eat my cat's food. Not only was this completely disgusting, but my cat ate special medicated food so we had to take him to the doctor to make sure it didn't cause him any harm. LOL...who knows how long that was going on before I noticed him. :P

Hey, if it brings up hunger and comfort level, I'm all for it.

Maybe someone could make a monkeychow dish.

I loves that guy. Monkeychow OUT!

I agree with assmitten; does the dog food make the hunger bar go up?

if it does, this is gunna make for some real kick-ass stories    ;D

It does make the hunger bar go up. Not as much as the bottle, though.

Hmmm...I'm seeing new possibilities for legacy challenges. "The Feral Child" challenge.

"Were you raised in a barn?"

"YES."

You remind me of the evil version of me.  Except that you can spell, and you didn't throw a superfluous "ass" into either sentence.

I ate dog food when I was a kid, the 50lb bag of purina was kept in my room for all the hunting dogs. What can I say I was weird, and hungry. My grandma finally put a stop to it when I went to her house one summer (she had money lol) and found me eating dog biscuits because I was hungry rather than risk asking for food.

Pet food seens like a step up from boogers and bathroom water.  I eat some cat food when I was seven.  I just yanked out a hand full like it was snax mix or something.

My one year old eats dog chow all the time.  I think the first few times she did it because the dogs eat it, and she was curious.  Now I'm sure she does it to make me scream.  She thinks it is hilarious when I am furious.  When we buy that gravy-making kind of kibble, she gets little drippy strings of red drool.  Yum.  :o

Hmmm...dog nannies.

Smarter at least.LOL

Okay, now I want a hack to allow a Nana to replace the Nanny.

My brother and I used to eat those little multicolored bone shaped dog biscuits.  They were quite tasty, if I remember correctly.  And so what?  They don't hurt you. And it's probably better for the kid than fruit loops.

No high-fructose corn syrup in the dog food, right? That stuff is eeevil. Hee!

Although, what am I saying? There's probably high-fructose corn syrup in dog food now. It's in everything else.

When I was 4 or 5 my dad decided to play a trick on me and pretend to eat dog pig ears. He said that it was good and I should try it, so I did. He still denies it to this day but I know it happened. It was kind of traumatising.

I had a toddler eat out of the pet bowl, but he stopped and threw up.  So I'm not sure there is a whole lot of benefit from it.  :-\

My mom recently took a "nibble" at a doggie treat because, she said, she wanted to know why her normally finicky dachsund is so crazy about the things.

All I can say is that I'm glad they don't have a cat with a litter box in the house.  ::)

(Her verdict on the doggie treat, "Nothing to write home about, but I've probably had worse.")

Parents always block out how mean they actually were. :p

Oh, totally. When I was 4 we were on a walk in Stanley Park, and I got really tired. My stepdad said he would carry me if I picked up horse manure. Neither of my parents deny the incident, but now they say it was a joke, and that I took him seriously out of a malicious desire to villify him. Right.

Adults tease children all the time because it's funny or cute when they get upset, but I still remember things my parents or other adults told me that I took seriously, but it was just a joke to them.  Children don't have the maturity to understand sarcasm or to know when not to take something seriously.  :(

As my parents used to say "It builds character."

Me too!

It would be great if the dogs could act as nannies.  I think they would do a better job of it than the actual nannies.  :P

Yes, but there are things growing in my garden that would do a better job of it than the actual nannies.

That may be true, but I think a dog guardian would be neat to have.

Hehe Lassie anyone?  ;D

I tried Meow Mix once when I was five.  I think I puked afterwards.

... and then there's the time I accidentally tasted canned cat food when I was 12.  Turns out that little brown blob on the counter wasn't chocolate ice cream I'd just dropped.  :-\  If you think it smells bad....

I sometimes ate the dry kind of cat food when I was little. I actually liked it. I didn't eat lots of it, just a piece or two at a time.

Pet food always smells and looks so appetizing...Like...chunks of MEAT, in a shiny gravy, as long as you don't take too much of a whiff of it, it does smell yum...when I was a kid, my grandparents yorkie was on a special diet, and he had this prescribed food, he had this odd rice and vegetable combo, warmed in the microwave (I've never EVER seen a dog eat rice other than then...) and half a can of Caesar...always made my mouth water....

All three of my dogs love rice.

Ooh, okay, point taken...:D

Whenever one of my dogs have an upset tummy, I mix up cooked hamburger and white rice for them.  Even the one who isn't feeling under the weather comes running.

Well, it's a special treat that means you love them!  Of course the healthy one wants some too.

My mum's dog likes rice if there's something with it.  But most of the dogs I've known and my cat are fiends for pasta even by itself.  (Of course, my cat eats avocado, bread and mushrooms, so he's not exactly normal.)

It's been my experience that most dogs will eat just about anything you give them, especially if they think another dog wants it.

Hehe, one of my cats likes avocado too, and bananas. Every cat I've ever been owned by seems to love baked goods, for some reason. We've had to start hiding ours in the microwave-oven overnight (the baked goods, not the cats).

That reminds me...my jack russell keeps getting bacterial infections and the vet gives us a very bland food that my dog hates. It's like pulling teeth to get her to eat it. I know she feels very threatened by my cat so I told her, "Pal, get in your kennel". As she began walking to it, I called out my cats name and Pal ran back to her bowl so fast she probably gave her paws rug burn. I now use this technique religiously...she falls for it every time.
