***My husband and I are members of a German Shepherd forum the covers a myriad of topics regarding the breed.  In browsing there yesterday we found this post and I thought that others might find it as amusing as we did...here's to hoping...***

A TRIP TO COSTCO

Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder Dog and was in the checkout line when woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's butt and a car hit us both.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

Costco won't let me shop there anymore.

Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.

I wish to god I would overhear a conversation like this someday lol..

I'm going to assume that this is true, and if so, that's just awesome!

(I love doing that kind of stuff as well, though I'm not retired.. I just really enjoy it lol)

ROFLMAO

LOL - ROFL

Thanks for this post, it made my day

*Munching Purina*

What?  It works!

*munchmunch*

(See sig if confused)

I think the only thing that would have been funnier is if the lady ended up believing you, and went to get a bag of Purina for herself..

That would have been hilarious.

Hehe, I've heard this story before, and laugh my a$$ off every time. lol!

So funny   Thanks for posting it.

That has to be one of the more comical things I have heard in quite some time.

When my husband and I first got our German Shepherd puppies we had been told that we would, through the various training groups that we have joined and community sites that we are now a part of, meet the most "interesting of dog people."  We were told that "dog people" have a humor all their own and in getting to know many of the folks who go out of their way to do for, rescue and train these amazing dogs, we have certainly seen that "dog people" are a breed of their own!  I am quite happy to say that my husband and I are being assimilated!  Resistance is futile...it's the side effects of puppy fever and amazing doggies that make it so easy. 

Braxes...sadly, it wasn't me that pulled this trick, although I wish I would have been able to take credit, but the lady who actually did is an active member of the German Shepherd boards and usually has some very witty retorts and stories to share.

I laughed so hard at this story I about fell out of my chair.

Kinda like....."Here's your sign"

Beautiful pups btw

 Well, if a dog stayed on Purina, it WOULD wind up in a hospital! lol

 Sorry, I study nutrition too much.

Thank you, RC...I need to get their photos updated...they are 16 months now and their photos on the site are a bit old.

Very cute, Slyde   Nope, our baby boys have not been born yet, August 15th is getting close too quickly when mom and dad don't have the nursery finished.  Call me crazy, I love my doggies but I don't see my little ones sharing their plateware!    Although saddles for the dogs might be a choice!  Would save on the cost of a baby stroller...
