I had to share this one. At Coffee Culture we have dog biscuits in our drive-thrus for all our customers that bring their dogs with them (you'd be surprised how many do.) Most people think its great and love it. Some of the dogs are even such regulars that they get all excited when they come up to the window, especially this one weimeroner (I'm sure that spelling is wrong) that nearly jumps out the back window for his buscuit. However, just a few minutes ago a lady came through and when I asked, "would the puppy like a biscuit today," she responded with, "you know what, she doesn't like your biscuits, she's on organic food." What! That is so Gainesville. Lots of "granola-heads" running around (my term) feeding their dogs organic food that costs $20.00 a pound. Don't get me wrong, I really believe in organic farming and a natural lifestyle but within reason. Balance with reality is important for me and reality is, we can't be perfectly organic or all-natural or environmentally friendly in everything we do. It just isn't possible in our society today without going to great lengths. So, I thought it was funny and wanted to share it with you all. Maybe we'll start carrying organic soy-barley dog treats....or maybe not.
