Puppies wrestling with each other?

Posted on January 19, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

I have to puppies one is a rottweiler and cattle dog mix and the other is a rott and lab mix. They both just turned one. One is 90 pounds and the other is 80 pounds. We were just at the vet and they did a body fat test on them. Neither one of them has more then 5 percent body fat on them. They constantly wrestle and play and they both love to run up and down the hills by my house and when i walk them in the forest preserves they both do belly flops right into the pond and will swim for a hour if i let them. They are in great shape but i was wondering with all the exercise they get are they getting enough nutrients. I feed them twice daily and they get a scoop of dry food and half of can of wet food. Should i increase the food intake or keep it the same. They dont seem like they are starving threw out the day and they dont demolish there food when i put it in front of them but they will lick the bowls clean. Can any one offer some advice please.
It was not really a cause for concern. It was just something I started thinking about just recently. It never really bothered me before because like i said they never seem to be starving threw out the day and so i was just wondering.

Kids from Sudan, would they be shocked, awed or appalled at the food waste here?

Posted on March 5, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I seen a news blurb a short time ago about the travels of some boys who were part of a group that escaped the Darfur region of the Sudan. Never say running water, electricity, finished floors etc personally. Never knew when their next meal would come and often went days between meals. They came here via a relief agancy. Here they will exp. things. When they see how much food is wasted at weddings, BBQ, parties and other gatherings, seeing nearly whole platters or bowls of food, thrown away because not much was ate and people were too lazy to wrap it up and preserve it for later or someone who could use it. What would they think? And to go to a buffet? To see the fat parents waddling their equally fat plump kids to the food trough where they stack their plate high with food again and again. To see people here waste what to them in their nation would mean the difference from surviving one more day or digging another grave. Would they be shocked, awed, or appalled?

Posted on May 18, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

Alright so all yesterday i had a bad binge day. i had to have eating atleast 2000 calories of bad stuff i NEVER eat much of. I lost 30 lbs and now trying to maintain it. But lastnight since ive started my period i couldnt help myself untill 2 o clock in the morning. I mean i ate EVERYTHING. 3 bowls of oatmeal, so much sugar, LOTS of butter, i never eat butter or put sugar in my food, 2 BOXES of kashi crackers, lots of dark chocolate lots of chicken, LOTS of yogurt, lots of almond and cereal, lots of CHIPs, french fries, WHITE bread, and SO MUCH MORE and the last thing i ate was pudding i made at like 2 in the morning. I ate so much i was sick and my stomach was HARD. I got onto the scale this morning and it said i gained 2 lbs. What should i do? I got up(5:30am is when i eat breakfast) and i ate my plain shredded wheat cereal with skim milk. Then for lunch i had a sugarfree preserve sandwich on whole wheat with an apple. then for snack at around 3:30 i had a small apple with a lot of natural PB, a handful of kashi crackers and a handful of mini marshmellows.. yes i binged a lil more today but tm i think ill be ok.. Do you think i can take the weight off? After i ate breakfast i exercised a lil bit on my ellipical machine. Do you think the weight will stay? i only binge like that once a month.

I want to keep goldfish in a bowl. Is there absolutely no way?

Posted on March 26, 2010 by admin| 7 Comments

I didn’t think I would, but I won two goldfish at a county fair yesterday. They are small common type goldfish, both of which are slender and just a bit longer than an inch. Before I read anything about them, I put them in a small tank. This morning, when I went to the pet store to buy food and something for them to hide behind, I was given a large bowl (flat on the sides like a tank, with rounded edges) for free with my purchase. I have tropical fish at home who have lived for about ten years in a filtered tank, but I figured since I’d seen goldfish thrive in bowls and tanks without any special filtration, that I didn’t need all that for my new fish. I transferred them to the new bowl which was obviously a traumatizing experience for them.
Now I’ve read that bowls are actually a terrible place for a goldfish, let alone two, but I really don’t want to put them through another move. Keep in mind these are small fish, not fancy, and the bowl is only a couple gallons but still tank-sized with plenty of room for the both of them. I don’t know if they will poison each other or what, but I’d like to preserve them even though they are fair fish. Please let me know if filtration is extremely necessary and if it would be more harmful to move them or to keep them where they are. As you can understand, this is somewhat urgent as the fish have already been used to the bowl for a couple hours, now.
