Melissa Gilbert Eats Dog Food


"Desperate Housewives" actress Nicollette Sheridan and "Exorcist" head-turner Linda Blair were supposed to eat dog food during an event promoting "Dine With Your Dog Day."

"This is not `Fear Factor,'" Sheridan said Thursday, balking at the idea of downing dog food.

Blair also declined, explaining she's a vegetarian. But "Little House on the Prairie" actress Melissa Gilbert and Ross the Intern from Jay Leno's "Tonight" show were game and scooped up helpings of doggie morsels.

Former "Eight is Enough" TV patriarch Dick Van Patten, whose Natural Balance dog food company was behind the event, said he wanted to show dog lovers how delicious pet chow can be.

I totally would eat it. If you're feeding your pets something you wouldn't taste, you might want to think about what you're feeding them. Besides, its food from Mr. Eight is Enough, he's not going to lead you astray. He raised 8 kids for Pete's sake. Don't tell me they didn't have to eat dog food every now and then.
