I had my appendix burst, and aside from the first two days of sweet dilaudid injections I used Marijuana and cbd at home to help the pain. I never touched my narcotic take home script. It's definitely strain dependent, some just don't work for pain.

Won't someone think of the airlines?

If it was my dog (and not my parents dog) I'd definitely do this. He does get protein and glucosamine and chondroitin in his treats, and a small unseasoned portion of whatever protein my parents make for supper. So he's well cared for, he's almost 3 years past his breeds life expectancy.

I've watched bengals for friends that had a home made diet, and honestly it was simple and cheap. They prepped all the meals before leaving, but they showed me how easy it was one day. A weeks worth of food for 3 cats isn't exactly cheap, but when the ingredients are bought in bulk its a little cheaper than quality canned food. I would definitely do this for a dog when I'm in a place to care for one.

I would love to recommend a quality brand made in the US, but history taught me to never recommend dog food or take recommendations because no one gives a fuck what you feed your dog, just how much you'll pay for it.

I don't know how anyone does that, yet somehow I've done it too.

A friend's dad tried it once. As soon as it was nearing adulthood you could not tell it no. They have thumbs too, and they are very observant. Your pantry will get ripped to shreds, and they always seem to find their way back "home".

If you don't want to have to kill a "pet", don't adopt a racoon.

I can't wait for the Netflix live action remake. I'll even reactivate my account briefly

Good thing they never get the wrong suspect then.

I don't get why you're being down voted. For all the lip service we pay to mental health, people in actual crisis often have 0 available resources. Outside of a police shooting/beating, that is.
