Horrible?
Naw...Just HUMAN!
Most commercial dog food is absolute garbage, made mostly of grain. Look at the label. It’s awful stuff. Dogs were meant to eat actual meat—all parts—with some green vegetables from time to time. They’ll stay healthy, they won’t shed much, they’ll have better breath and better teeth, and they also won’t poop as much.
Dogs need exercise, and not just once-around-the-block-’til-he-poops, either. At least a few miles. Even for tiny dogs! I’ve had Chihuahuas and other little critters, and they’re perfectly happy with a couple of miles twice a day. They sleep well and don’t get unhappy and/or destructive.
It’s rare you’re going to have a really fat dog and a slender, fit owner. They’re connected.
True dat.
Shadow sleeps on Hubby’s chest until he falls asleep, and then she comes to sleep right up against me.
Lucas Prince of Darkness is having trouble getting over my Rocket’s passing. We’ve got the kid gloves on for him, and he’ll be all right again, please G-d.
Miss Hissy Slashy has taken over the media room, and she’s quite comfortable up there.
Oh my gooodness. We have oft been accused of overfeeding our dogs, but even our girl with Cushings isn’t this bad. Poor baby!
2 words: Green beans. They work wonders.
(Now if we can just get below 2 bags on Healthy Bones a week...plus Costco Animal Crackers...plus salt free pretzels...aw geeez! Actually we are doing *much* better)
You mean 24 hours a day. CAts need exercise just like dogs do. They need cat trees or stairs...etc. The cats live short lives in conditions like that...it's almost torture....how would people like to live in a box their whole life?
Vegetarian cats? I don’t think so. Cats require meat proteins and can go blind on an exclusively vegetarian diet.
