Absolutely horrible exam last night, but nothing that I wasn't expecting. So horrible it was laughable, and we were all giddy as we got out. You all know I buy things to deal with stress so I went to Books-A-Million afterward to pic up the latest Dog Fancy which features my beloved RRs and walked out with an additional three books. Need to make a list of all the crap I've bought in the last month due to one ridiculous thing after another. Perhaps I should look into getting a new coping method, but I think I rather like the shopping and spending. Currently eyeing the RightStuf sale...
Very odd dream last night involving alligators, tornadoes, a not-Fred, Leann Rimes, and almost running down Clint Eastwood with my car. (Amanda, I know you read this; you should comment sometime. You were in it. You wanted to go hiking.) Woke up to find I had roughly a foot of space along the edge of the bed because Fred and Frankie were hogging it and Lady flopping away in her own dream on the floor. I almost thought she was having a seizure, but she would still whenever I touched her... so I went back to sleep with my leg twisted to the side and hanging off the bed and my foot on her. This morning she was up and fine and once again plotting to take over the world... or at least everyone else's breakfast.
Pet food verdict seems to possibly be rat poison at the present time. Rat poison in wheat from China. Now question is, was that wheat crop marked solely for animal consumption or should I beware of my bread and pasta too?
The FDA isn't large enough to handle everything it's supposed to. And if anyone is wondering what I feed my critters:
The cats eat Dick van Patten's Natural Balance dry food. The canned food they get is a mixture of Natural Balance, Friskies, and Fancy Feast (the latter two both part of Purina).
The dogs--Fred and Roxey eat Natural Balance dry food. Lady also gets Pedigree because she has such a raging sweet tooth. They do not eat canned or wet food; we mix deli-style lunchmeat or our own dinner "meat of the day" in with their kibble.
