I just gave the dog some pizza. Does that make me a bad pet-sitter?

OK, I know you're not supposed to give "people food" to your pets. However, I had a half-slice of frozen pizza left over from lunch. Rather than throw it out, I gave it to my roommate's dog. Will I burn in hell for that?

2. I am sure you made the dog very happy!
If not necessarily healthy.

3. No, it doesn't make you a bad pet-sitter,
but it will probably give the dog gas! Your punishment is to stay in the room with him until it's over!

Poor guy has a sensitive stomach, he'd have the squirts for days after that.

A friend sat for him once, I asked her not to feed him anything but dog food (and scrambled eggs), she gave him a kolache (he's a beggar). She called me later to say she could see why I had said that. YUK!

But no, you're really not, you're just soft hearted to animals. That can't be bad.

9. Absolutely True Pizza Story
When my ex and I were still together, Sunday was usually pizza night and our little doggie got his own slice. So every Sunday about 5:30, he would start pacing back and forth from the front door to the couch to the table where the phone was. He would do this until my ex would call.

Then the dog would lay down in the front hall and wait for the delivery guy. Now, normally when the doorbell rang, this dog went apeshit. But he never did when the pizza guy came.
