Jan has studied (on her own, not regular schooling) quite a bit. She says pumpkin (not pie filling) can work on both diarrhea and constipation depending on how much you give them. She said if it was her dog, she would give him one table spoon of pumpkin (again not pie filling).Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and cloudy. Rain coming later tonight or early tomorrow. Today's high could reach 92°F. We'll take it.
Pup seems constipated now. We go from one extreme to another.
Paypal increasing fees. No biggie as I rarely take advantage of the instant services.
Usual routine today. First a walk followed by straightening up around here. Grocery shopping around noon. Zaxby's later.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Was going to say this. Worked for most of our dogs over the years
Beautiful!Sitting by the pool last night we had some beautiful colors as the sun set over the Gulf. We get these about every night in the summer, especially if we have a late afternoon thunderstorm. It is relaxing.
What kind of psycho fact checks jokes? Lol. It's rhetorical (JenP's doppleganger) ...
Florida is not for everybody. There are many places you would never catch me living or visiting in Florida. Namely Ft Lauderdale, Miami or Orlando. I prefer a more laid back lifestyle like this front porch and rocking chair

Sunday is fried chicken day and my wife has agreed to fry me a mess of chicken gizzards. We are going to try to fry them up in an air fryer. We have never done that before but a chicken gizzard is hard to mess up. You just cook them and enjoy. They should turn out like the picture below.
I looked up a recipe and it suggested boiling the gizzards for about a half hour before you air fry them up. Makes them very tender they say. So I will boil them, then roll them in flour with salt and black pepper. A little milk gravy on the side and I have a meal fit for a king.
Your choices then are not moving or divorce.
I'd also avoid Surfside.Florida is not for everybody. There are many places you would never catch me living or visiting in Florida. Namely Ft Lauderdale, Miami or Orlando. I prefer a more laid back lifestyle like this front porch and rocking chair
My kids feed their dogs green bean straight from the can daily. They love them.
Just don't feed them corn. Dogs can't digest corn very well and it gives them diarrhia. I've seen neighbors do it when people let their dogs roam to much. Look at the dog food labels, if it's a cheap food, corn will be high on the list of ingredients. By law, the first 5 ingredients in a dog food must be in order of the quantity in the food. Your dog won't crap as much when fed foods they digest better.
I spent 15 years of my life in Jacksonville, FL. October thru May is wonderful. The rest is hot, humid and full of bugs. Mowing your yard is a labor. I have jumped into the pool with glasses, hat, shorts, shoes et.al. just to keep from having heat stroke. Also we are not going to discuss the "can't see ums". They are really small terrorists that can drive anyone crazy trying to trim the shrubs.
I love him, but he was a "drill instructor"! At the least he was smart enough to marry a good Kentucky girl.
The green bean were based on the vet.
Not to downgrade vets or the green beans, but most vets have very little training in the area of nutrition. Certain dog food companies are noted for donations to vet schools and vet associations. Those foods are often pushed by vets. Hill's Science Diet is one and much of their food is trash. Jan has a cat with cancer and we were making monthly visits to the Nashville area to the nearest vet who did chemo. I did some research on them. I can't recall the name, but it was owned by the company who makes the Mars candy bars. They own the BluePearl vet hospital chain. They also make pet food and donate tons of money to vet schools. Like in most things, follow the money. Just checked and Mars owns six vet hospital chains. They make Whisk as, Pedigree, and Royal Canin.
Knew a guy in college who worked a Summer job at a meat processing plant somewhere around Louisville. Said that they would sweep the floor between shifts and it would go into the hot dogs.
Do they make Fishers meats in Louisville.
Don't know. Can't remember the name....if he ever said. But I'll never forget that story.

Our little yorkiepoo, Ace, loves green beans. He even knows them by name. I had no idea other dogs loved them as well.
With the two of you mentioning it, I looked up green beans and dogs. The AKC says they can be a healthy substitute for treats and can help a dog lose weight. However, The beans if cooked with added salt, garlic, onions, some oils and spices can be a problem. Also whole green beans can be a choking hazard.
My son and I are really enjoying it. For a tournament where I don't think I had heard of either player....it's been entertaining.
CBS sucks.
Vet recommended we feed our dog green beans. Main reason is low calories. I believe she got sick off seedless watermelon last week. Getting better now. Opened a can of green beans, washed them and gave her a few. She likes 'em.
We give our two dogs "organic" pumpkin from the can.....it makes it easy to feed them vitamins and such......
Good chance you are correct on watermelon. Its ok for them in small amounts, but to much can cause the problems you described.
Green beans are good. Stay away from peas in their diet.
