I bought a large bag of Meaty Bites at Big W and was standing in line at the check-out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Meaty Bites Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 25 kgs before I woke in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Meaty Bites and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her. Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned by the food. I told her no, it was because I'd been sitting in the middle of the road licking my dick and a car hit me. I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door.

A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

He can comment on his cost. I'm not going to specify the exact amount for Wally, but: - An Ontario breeder wanted more than twice as much for a pup - New Brunswick pups were almost $2000 - I paid less than $1500, the same price as a Quebec breeder. Most breeders make no money from it, but it IS price prohibitive for non-rich people like me. I may never get another Newf at the rate their prices are increasing. Henry is tommyboy’s son.
