2. The "five o'clock dump" is running late today (Petco taking cues from Bushco?)

My pets are now eating what I'm eating.

And that ain't necessarily good.

6. I have been making my dog's

food for about a month now. One of the good side effects is that my usually stinky dog no longer stinks.

7. me too

I switched dog foods about 6 weeks ago after finding out what utter CRAP I'd been feeding them (ingredients, ingredients), including a homemade supplement. One of my dogs has always had a strange smell about her. That smell is gone and her coat is suddenly soft. What a difference.

8. Isn't it wonderful?

Good for us and our little dogs too. Whatever was in the food that was making them stink certainly couldn't have been healthy for them.
