Last in the Rat Race

Enough to share a Frisbee?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen where my dog sticks her chops. My guess is that this little athlete has the same abilities (and proclivities). Were I this dude’s wife, girlfriend, or S.O. I wouldn’t be too keen on the trick. As his dentist, though… hm, go for it.

The above photo was from the regular dog show at Purina Farms – just a short trip outside St. Louis. The “Farm” features a barn with chickens, bunnies, cows, horses, geese and of course, the requisite baby pigs.

For anyone with a bent toward marketing, you can appreciate the pure genius of the place. There is such value in creating lasting brands, a ‘product’ people like, and inspiring loyalty in your returning customers or clients. Purina Farms is a testament to those principals. After spending the morning there, I caught myself looking for the donation box. More than once. I then had to smack myself upside the head and remember we were in an advertisement. That is, the whole place is exists to promote the brand and to create a warm-fuzzy relationship with the public.

Job well done.
(Kate now recognizes the logo and, guaranteed, gets warm-fuzzies at the sight.)
