no wonder they never left home

just reading this article in the guardian how pets are suffering, when i found myself short of money and waiting for my wages to go in i had to make a fag out of dimps from the ashtray and had beans for tea

my 3 cats had their usual plus tin of tuna and fresh sliced ham for supper

would you go without for your pets or would you put them on a diet

I would quite happily go without to make sure my dog was properly fed, I don't have a wife or kids though so Frank means the world to me!

"Dimps?" Thats a new one on me... we of my generation called /em "Dog Ends"
Our dog got fed scraps from the table or a butchers bone, that cost nothing.

I believe they've found a solution to this dilemma in Korea......

[annadomino]

Just love all the regional differences :)
And yes, my animals would eat as normal, I couldn't deny the,. There again, they wouldn't get fresh sliced ham.

[DrFilth]

annadomino they did not like the small tins of processed ham

Not sure if dogs are easier than cats here? But I have to say my dog has been downgraded to Tesco value dog food (complete food) and she's not complained- well, she's not said anything anyway ;-)

She's learnt- eat what you're given, or starve :P

I don't feel guilty- the rest of the household has also been downgraded to tesco's "finest".

If you fed it trigs it wouldn't need to give you the pencil sharpener treatment

lol@ Rowan!!!

Took me a full minute to get that one :-)

[notasyoungasiwas]

I don't care how poor I became, I would never, never, never get rid of my dog - never !!!!

i love my little pup so much, I have never been in the position of not having money for food, but i defo would go without to provide for her. i saw a picture a couple of weeks ago of a staving dog which broke my heart, i don't know how anyone could do that to such a sweet animal.
