Pupperoni's Mission?

[JerseyJanice]

I put a bag of Pupperoni in Max's Christmas stocking. He likes them a lot; I call them doggie Slim-Jims. On the back of the bag, the following is printed:

"Our Mission: Making the world a Pup-friendly Place!
Pup-Peroni celebrates and champions dogs and owners enjoying life together-anywhere, anytime."

"Because in a Pup-friendly world...
-There are no 'pets', only families and friends.
-Where you go, they go.
-There is no where dogs don't belong.
-There is no reason in the world to ever be apart."

Believe me, I totally do not agree with any of these statements. I enjoy time away from my messy hound and have no desire to bring him everywhere.

The same bag directs you to their website so you can check out their "efforts to make the world pup-friendly." It's at (obviously) pupperoni.com. I brought up the website; it's very cute, but there's no mention of any effort to make the whole world pup-friendly.

Anyhoo, I wonder if the makers of Pupperoni took some flack over these silly ideas and took down the part of their website that talks about it? I notice small dogs everywhere these days, and I don't agree with allowing it. I can only imagine how people who are allergic to or dislike canines feel about this topic.

I say "way to go" for the pupperoni folks! We lost our beloved pup a year ago Saturday and still grieve for her tremendously. I think of all the times she had to stay home and ran to the door begging to go with us. You gotta be one of us that are crazy over our little "doggie people" to understand!

I love my dog too (even if he is a PITA and I complain about him a lot), and I adored our other dog who died 9 years ago. And they are part of our family. But they aren't REALLY people, and no, I don't want people's pets all over the place either, nor do I want to take mine everywhere. I'm with you, JJ.

the beginning of this says "Because in a Pup-friendly world...
-There are no 'pets', only families and friends.
-Where you go, they go.
-There is no where dogs don't belong.
-There is no reason in the world to ever be apart."

Well, the world we live in is not totally "pup friendly", so guess it is just not the real world they are talking about.
