'May I have two containers - fish for my cat, meat for the dog...vegetables divided as follows, one-fourth for the cat, three-fourths for the dog, but no carrots for the cat - kitty doesn't like carrots...'

"Let's see....Who had the beef brisket dog biscuit?"

'I hope your 'kittycat gourmet delight' tastes better than my 'doggy sirloin supreme!''

"Teaching him to use a knife and fork was easy but he still can't tell a Merlot from a Chianti!"

"If we list it now, you could be eating filet mignon every night for the rest of your life!"

"We'll be needing a high chair for spot."

'Believe me, I've checked. There are no shows on the Food Channel devoted to cooking kibble.'

"Leave the bowl."

Water. Food. Garnish.

'I'm thinking celebrity pet's cookery nightmare make-over...'
