Girl Scout Cookies goes to dogs?

stanzie cookie 300

Dear Girl Scouts of America:

Well, Girl Scout cookie time has rolled around and once again, us dogs are being left out.

Oh sure, we can snag a box from a countertop and snarf some down but we all know that is going to lead to a lot of midnight hurling and expensive vet bills. Thin Mints, they are delicious but that chocolate can play havoc on our stomachs. As can all the sugar in the Savannahs. And Samoas, (Samoas? We don’t mind if we do) but sugar and chocolate…woo boy! Express Train to Tummy Trouble.

So, why not do us all a favor and make some dog cookies in your next big batch? “Scouts for Scout’’? Or “Campers’ Canine Cookies’’? “Spot’s Sunshines’’? “Bowser Brownies’’? We’re dogs. Not marketing geniuses. Come up with your own names.

From what we understand, you have had less-than-successful cookie attempts in the past. The Kookaburras, a cross between a Rice Krispies treat and a candy bar. Or the Ole Oles, which were –reduced fat and a complete bust. We aren’t so sure people want nutritious cookies from you. Let us know how sales for those Rah-Rah Raisins go over –and raisins, BTW, bad for dogs!

We are all behind your mission to support the development of girls but we think you are missing out on a huge, huge opportunity. With our endless appetites for cookies and your cute-as-a button mercenary sales force, the sky is the limit.

Signed,

Your Loving Dogs
