We have lots of people email us wanting to try their products or to tell you about them. I don\u2019t think any dog should recommend something they aren\u2019t happy with themselves. We say &#8216;no&#8217; unless it is something we\u2019ve tried. Then of course there are the emails we sent where we don\u2019t really think they have understood that we are a pet blog. This week we\u2019ve been asked to promote vegan meals amongst other things. I do sometimes try to explain I may not be their target market, but not always. Then there was today\u2019s email\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shall I go?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I have been asked to go for a complete makeover for free so that I can tell you all about it. I, as a dog, have been invited to have my hair restyled and my make-up done. I can have a professional photo shoot of the new look me, for which I should take four changes of clothing. In my case, other than my harness and my Christmas jumper I\u2019m not really sure what that would be. I do have a special collar, I could perhaps take that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Definitely for me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mum said she could go, but I showed her where on the email it said, \u201cDear Wilma\u201d and it really does. What would happen if I accepted the offer and simply turned up to the appointment? Do you think they would go ahead or would I be turned away? I don\u2019t want the ignominy of not being allowed in after I\u2019ve been invited by name. I might reply for more details and see how long it takes them to work out they are talking to a dog. It\u2019s worth a try and could kill a few hours while I\u2019ve got nothing better to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Wilma is flattered &#8211; she has been invited to a make over and photo shoot.
