Foreign dogs

Or casual racism, Idiot Girl style.

Technically, Idiot Girl owns a dog. I say technically because she only wants it for the 'fun' bits, and we can have it for the mundane things.
So we get the dog for breakfast, and early morning walk. It then goes home and sleeps for a few hours. We collect it again, and it gets several walks in the day, and is fed again before it goes home. Well, assuming IG isn't going out for a 'rite keg'. We then get to take said dog out for another walk before it goes sleepy and the cycle starts again.

So of course it's our job to buy the dog food. This costs money, which is not reimbursed. As you may know, dog food is basically mystery meat, so it doesn't really matter which you buy. Read any tin, eg beef, and it says 4% named ingredient, rest of contents random meat & vegetables.

You buy a tin of peas, and there's a picture of peas on the label. Ditto carrots.... And what's on the tin of dog food? Dogs... hmmmm. But I'm drifting off topic.

We found in the cheapo shoppe dog food. Spanish dog food. With Spanish labels (which have pictures of dogs on them). The contents is the same, but the price is half that of English language food. The dog likes it too.

Idiot girl goes ballistic when she finds out.
WE MUST NOT feed HER dog that FILTH!

Er, IG, it's dog food. Mystery meat, same as the rest of it.
NO! IT'S FORRINS! IT'S 100% HORSE! FORRINS ONLY EAT HORSE!

Google translate the label, and big shock, it's 4% beef, rest mystery meat. Same as the UK stuff. Idiot Girl doesn't believe this, and Ma Ma is stupid enough to take notice of her. So no more cheap evil forrins dog food.

I can understand paying $$$ if it saves you $$$$$$$, but otherwise dog food is dog food?

IG's dog is defective in the feet department. As in the pads get worn out easily and become bleeding raw meat. Usually after IG has 'taken it for a walk', which translates to "has spent 10 mins throwing a ball 'cos then she doesn't have to walk". The dog slides after the ball, and voila, damaged feet.

There are no kangaroo's in Spain. Well, apart from in cat food tins.
