Free Ice Cream for Dogs!

Occasionally (or actually probably more than occasionally), Phollower and I visit an ice cream store near our house, Culvers. They have great frozen custard/ice cream. If you ever have a chance to visit one, I highly recommend it. But the point of this post is not to advertise for them. When we go, we usually (actually always) order ice cream for the dogs - just small vanilla cake cones, nothing too fancy, but they go crazy. As a result, Samwise (one of our dogs) drools at the site of a drive-through window. If you have the dog with you in the car, and you tell them at the drive-through speaker that the ice cream is for the dog, they will give it to you for FREE. It is a little smaller serving than the whole single scoop cone, but the dogs don't know. The idea that the ice cream is FREE for the dogs just strikes me as funny. Imagine going to a poor third world country where people are starving and telling them that in America we have so much food, that you can get a FREE dessert for your dog at restaurants. There is no free ice cream for for adults or kids or anything, but there is for dogs. I am not complaining mind you. I just wonder what that person would think of that. Now, Phollower likes to point out the ice cream is not free, the cost is actually imputed. But I like to point out that the cost is imputed into everyone's ice cream (and food), not just ours. It is like a tax on non-dog owners to pay part of the cost of my dogs' ice cream cones. Makes me feel better about paying school taxes.
