Blue Buffalo Homestyle Recipe Wet Dog Food

Dad

I saw this one online. Thought it looked good. Your first reaction?

Boldo

You popped the lid and steam came out. I stepped back. Then the smell hit me. It was different from the dry stuff you usually dump in my bowl. I waited. You didn't scream, so I assumed it was safe.

Dad

Okay, you've been staring at it for ten minutes. What's the verdict on smell?

Boldo

It smells like real meat. Not like the bag of chicken-flavored cardboard you buy. That's a compliment. Also, I think I smell something on the counter. Is that your lunch? Can I have some of that instead?

Dad

Now that you've actually used it — what do you think?

Boldo

I ate the whole bowl in under a minute. Then I licked it clean. The texture was mushy but not slimy. I didn't have to chew much. That's fine. I didn't get sick afterward, so you didn't poison me. Good job.

Dad

The cat hasn't touched it. Does that mean something?

Boldo

The cat only eats things that smell like fish or that she can knock off the counter. She's an idiot. Ignore her. She also hates the vacuum cleaner, so her judgment is flawed. But yes, she didn't even sniff it. That might mean it's too good for her.

Dad

Rate it. One to five. You know what the ones are.

Boldo

Four. I'd give five if you added bacon bits. Or if you let me eat it while sitting on the couch. I'm not greedy. Just honest.
