OK, so I’ve always admitted that I’m a sucker for good marketing. This week I’ve fallen victim to the Pokey widget on FaceBook. Not only do I have two real dogs of my own, but now I’m adopted a virtual Rottie name Rex. I have to feed him, play with fetch with him, pet him…everything but clean the poop thankfully. And who is responsible for this widget? I have no “official” idea. But I can tell you that the only brand name you see is Science Diet Dog Food when it comes time to feed him. When you finally do, he dances around on his hind legs as if anxious to get started on his chow.
Clever. Over the past week of adding Rex to the family, I’ve been brainwashed into thinking this food will make my dog happy. Thankfully I know better about dog food quality and only give mine organic given that crazy Chinese dog food atrocity a few years back…but if I didn’t….I’d be hooked on this brand. Now I find myself feeding all of my friends hungry digital K9’s….I can’t help it. Science Diet has hit me where it counts…my dogs (real or not). If you in the FB neighborhood, stop by and feed Rex.
