Dawgs and Eggs

I have to stop watching the news.  It is Easter morning and they just had a piece on an Easter Egg Hunt for dogs.  Why in the world anyone would make the effort to drag their dog to a field with tons of other dogs to sniff out treats in plastic eggs is beyond me.  First of all, aggressive dogs (such as my own) will opt to jump other dogs over picking up a treat.  They get treats every day, it is not every day that Wags and Luke get to dominate another dog, let alone dozens of them.  I think it would be cruel to subject your passive dog to my alpha dogs unneccesarily.

Then there is the marking issue.  All the dogs will be claiming this land as their own, it will be a big pee fest.  Ewww.  Let's not even talk about poo.

Finally, perhaps most importantly, Easter is pretty much a product of my beloved Catholic Church.  Now, according to the Catholics, all dogs do not go to Heaven, in fact, none of them do.  So why are dogs celebrating a holiday that they have not been invited to?  I am pretty sure the dogs would be insulted if they knew the rules.  They would tell you exactly what to do with your doggie Easter Eggs too.
