Toby: "Holistic my a-hole"

That Holistic Dog Food from Hol Foods was unquestionably the cause of Toby's sketchy eating habits for the last 2 months. When it was obvious at the outset that he wouldn't eat it straight, I bought him some Iams and mixed it with the Holistic at maybe a 4:1 ratio. He ate it, but only disdainfully, and never immediately or with gusto. But I finally threw it all out and just gave him straight Iams. He was a little slow to eat the first unadulterated meal, but the next morning dug into his breakfast like he hadn't in months. He enjoys having Coleen and Tim here. He seems pretty happy.

Mother! A curse word!
Very funny. I once got addicted to a "holistic" nose spray. I went to see the nurse and she informed me it was just Afrin, took the bottle and threw it away. It was a rough couple days after that.
Anyways ... I'm glad Toby is doing better on just plain old Iams. No more hippy dog food for him!

I read this title at the end of a very long day and saw "Toby's holistic a-hole." I'm really glad that wasn't actually the title.
