This is your dog on drugs

Up until about a year and a half ago, my dog had exhibited all the traits of a healthy and happy pet. His fur had once been a beautiful dark shade of black; it was now grey and wilted, and overrun by a colony of knots and cataphracts. The energy that had once so possessed him as a youth was now long gone, and to this day he has trouble with regards to seeing, hearing, and tacticle response.But most disheartening of all was his loss of appetite. It's funny how I had once regarded him as a nuisance at the dinner table; his sheer persistence at being present was enough to drive us off the wall. He would scour the leggings of the table over the course of every meal of every day, until one of us finally gave in and fed him something, and by then any chance we may have had at getting rid of him was gone. I missed those times. None of us could stand to see him in the state he was in, so one day my mom went to the store and decided to try out a new kind of dog food. When he began eating the new food, we almost immediately began to notice a change in his character, for the better. For the first time in ages he was active and playful, perhaps a little too playful . It was almost surreal seeing him in this state, like some sort of mirage that was too good to be true. He also regained his appetite...uh oh, could this be a sign that my dog was high? I looked carefully at the package of dogfood, and as I was greeted with the bearded face of Andrew Weil, my suspicions were pretty much all but confirmed. Most people know Andrew Weil as the dude on TV that stresses natural cures for everything. He's kind of like Kevin Tradeau, except unlike Tradeau, who has absolutely no credentials or educational backing to his claims, Andrew Weil is an affirmed authority figure on the stuff he talks about. I looked up Mr. Weil on the internet and found out that he had once been a
significant proponent of psychedelics. A ha! I then attempted to do some research on the dog food itself, to see if there were any special "ingredients" to the mixture, but alas, I couldn't find anything. However, it's still a significant thought to entertain.
