There isn’t enough food in the backpack?

Guess he was never a Boy Scout.

As I pet my adorable little dog I coo to her, “If there was famine, I would eat you.” She looks deep into my eyes and wags her tail each time.

Has he recently been reading or watching something about the Donner Party?

All bets are off if you die first.

Lewis and Clark expedition ate dogs one winter to survive. One of them, I forgot which, almost starved because he couldn’t develop a taste for dog.

Uh, no!

Oy

Yeah. Sure. Right.

Read “To Build a Fire” and see how that turned out.

When I was much younger a fellow gym rat was into power-lifting & body-building contests and would drop or put on weight according to the event in which he was competing.  One day he told me, as he’s grabbing his belly with the extra weight he’d put on for his next power-lifting contest, “This is my desert survival kit.  If we’re both stranded out in the desert you’ll die first and I can eat you!”

unless one of us is dead of course……

My child has already let me know that if there is an apocalypse, they will eat me first. I am OK with that if she leaves my dog alone. My dog can hunt.

All right for you to say, meat-man.

well, okay, maybe just a little nibble…

He hasn’t experienced that yet.

Good that you didn’t bring the Cat. She definitely won’t agree with that.
