Dogs dressed as wait-persons are carrying trays of toilet water in martini glasses, close-up of staff scooping poop out of cat litter boxes, carefully putting toothpicks in each poop and arranging them “appealingly” on a silver platter, etc. D.i.M. takes a drink and a “treat.”  An Iguana wearing a sun visor is running an old fashioned 8 button calculator in the back with a ticker.

D.i.M.: Mmmmmm!” Pre-processed protein. Chicken? I think?


DOG: Yes.  Can’t you smell it?


D.i.M: I don’t have as good a sense of smell as you.


DOG: Oh.
