Awwh, well, at least you’re kind enough to let her stay with you guys…

And wow, good job on the transfer!

And no, I haven’t looked through the calendar, but I will happily take anything you generously choose to share with me! You may have an idea of what I feed, but I’m always open to new things too, so whatever it is really. 🙂 And no rush – whenever you get to it, just let me know. Or… If it’s not too much, you could shoot me an email with what you got available. Up to you!

[Akari_32]

Eh, if it was up to me, she’d probably be sleeping in the yard LOL Not really, but she still isn’t my favorite person. She’s friends with mom, and since its moms house, it’s not really my choice lol Since its just for a little while, I won’t put up a fuss, but if she was staying-staying, I wouldn’t be very happy lol

Well, it does help that most of the dog food is in big bags (a change in pace for me!), and that everything was organized in the room to begin with. I’ll have to post a picture of my closet right now. It’s a little ridiculous. It’s piled 5ft high with “stuff” LOL

Oh yeah, I’ll email you first on what I have for you so you can decide on what you want. 🙂

[Naturella]

Oh wow! You kind of REALLY don’t like her! LoL!

And hah, I can imagine a pile ceiling-high! LoL

And okie! I shall be looking out for the email! 🙂

[Akari_32]

I really, really can’t help it! LOL she’s just one of those people I can’t get along with for extended periods of time. We all have at least one of those, right?? Lol

Pretty much! I’m kinda scared it might all pull me in and I’ll never come back out! :O

I mean, look at it! There’s gotta be some sort of Random Crap Monster lurking in there somewhere! AND the floor is covered with stuff! If I ever drop off the face of the earth, check my closet first XD

[Naturella]

True…

And lol, it’s not that bad! 🙂 I am sure it won’t take you over… Till you buy more food! THEN… it might, lol. If you go missing from FB too, we will come looking for you in the closet! LoL!

[Akari_32]

I dunnooooo, my closest is like 7×7 and there’s maybe 1 square foot of floor space in there right now– that’s pretty scary! LOL

[Dori]

UH OH! Where on earth ARE you gonna do with all the food!!! YIKES! OH, and people in our lives that we can’t stand to be around for more than a little while. YEP! I’ve got a couple of those in my immediate family. We avoid each other as best we can. We seem to only come together for funerals.

Not to worry Akari, if you fail to post for a while we will dial 911. I still don’t know who you are on FB. I only know you as Akari 32. I’m Dori wherever I am. I couldn’t possibly keep track of too many alias’s. I’d lose myself for sure.

[Akari_32]

So I added up all the food thats in there: 130.5 pound. LOL Too bad, at about 30 lbs a months, it won’t last long.

Ugh, so this morning, she filled the sink with water, and put all the dishes in (dishes soaking in bacteria water is my FAVORITE! Not to mention she left the sponge floating in it….) and you can’t do that in our sink because our dish washer was hooked up wrong and everything leaks if you don’t baby it. So guess who got to take everything out from under the cabinet and clean up 3 gallons of sink water from under the cabinet and the floor?? Meeee! Yaaaaaaaaaay….. -_- She moved out, and that crap didn’t happen any more. Moves back in, 11 hours later, water all over the kitchen floor. Fantastic.

I sent you a friend request the other night, and you accepted it! You should know who I am lol I only use one user name. So if you join an other forum, and see an Akari_32, its 99% likely me (I’ve only been on one site that someone already had that username lol).

So I have a question for you guys. Is it weird that I like to hang on to more questionable brands as long as possible to make sure they aren’t going to be recalled or something? Like this IAMS Healthy Naturals stuff, I’ve had for several months. Plans to use it are very close, maybe within two months. I’m not a fan of IAMS, as you guys know, but I got it at a decent price, and picked one that rated well (I believe the flavor I picked is rated at 4 stars). But yeah, just wondering lol

[Dori]

So long as you keep track of their expiration dates I guess you can hold on to them and feed before that. I know that you get some of these foods dirt cheap with all your coupon knowledge but you may want to avoid foods from companies that you feel are questionable because though you spent little for the foods, you did spend some money and now you’re afraid to feed them to your dogs. Better to just pass up the deals from the really questionable brands. 🙂

[Akari_32]

I don’t mind IAMS so much any more, now that they’ve strighten themselves out after that huge crazy thing several years ago, but only the Healthy Natural’s varieties. I just like to be safe with IAMS, because you never know. Now that they are Mars owned, I’ll not buy them any more. This is actually the first bag of it I’ve ever bought! Lol If it’s not something I’m 100% ok with, I don’t buy it.

I keep all my dog food in order of their expiration dates. The bag I bought must have just been put out on the shelf not too long before I got it because it doesn’t expire until sometime in 2016 lol

[Dori]

Oh, okay Akari. I’m glad you’ve got a system in place also to keep track of expiration dates. Very organized.

[Akari_32]

Yeah, I buy so much at a time that I need to make sure everything gets used in time lol If I get to where I have more than I can use in time, or it would be cutting it close, I have to resist deals and stop buying LOL

[jakes mom]

Highjacking this popular topic for a minute, somebody please comment on my coco oil post from a few days ago, I want to make sure I’m not doing anything detrimental to the cat. Thanks 🙂

[Dori]

Oh, sorry jakes mom. I saw your post a few days ago but couldn’t help as I don’t have any cats. I figured some of the cat people would have helped you by now. I’ll try to reach out to C4C for you. Also, your post and mine will bump it up in the forum column.

[crazy4cats]

My cats and psycho dog are bonkers for feathers! Nice work, Akari!

[Bobby dog]

Check your email! I received my Wellness and Primal coupons today. Woo Hoo! Happy Shopping!

[Akari_32]

Oh yeah! Forgot to mention the Wellness coupons! I got mine yesterday lol

[Bobby dog]

Me too! 😉

[aquariangt]

Primal Coupons? Is that from signing up for their mailing list?

[InkedMarie]

Yep. I just printed out my Primal coupon!

[InkedMarie]

aquariangt, check your fb messages

[Mike Sagman]

I am testing the new updated software version of the bbPress forums. In the last few minutes, are you guys receiving messages from threads you are subscribed to? Please post your responses here. I will delete all of these test messages once we are finished testing today. Thanks for your help.

[InkedMarie]

Yes, I got the notification via email just now

[Mike Sagman]

Thanks, InkedMarie! Big help. Please feel free to post a test message to any thread you know that you are subscribed to. Thanks.

[Akari_32]

My phone is blowing up, so it’s working on my end 🙂

[Mike Sagman]

Thanks, Akari_32. As long as you guys are getting your emails from the threads you are subscribed to, it looks like the new update might be working OK, now. Feel free to post a test message on any other thread you know that you are subscribed to. Thanks again for your help

[Bobby dog]

I received my e-mails from the coupon thread too.

[Mike Sagman]

Thanks for the good news, Bobby_dog. I appreciate your help.

[crazy4cats]

Yes, aqgt, it is from signing up for their emails. It is $3 off any 4-pound bag of Canine Primal Pronto and $2 off any 1-pound bag of Feline Primal Pronto. If you haven’t bought it before, they are small frozen nuggets.

BTW, in honor of March Madness:

* GO GONZAGA BULLDOGS *

[neezerfan]

yes

[aquariangt]

Thanks. Marie sent it to me too, and then I subscribed. I’ve used the patties before, never the nuggets. I’ll have to try it. Do any of you have success with this with your cats?

[Bobby dog]

I haven’t tried Primal frozen with my kitties. But, I am going to give it a try because I am almost out of NV frozen. Mine like the Primal turkey FD every now and then. If they don’t like it, Bobby will gladly finish it off anyway.

[Dog_Obsessed]

I’ve been getting the emails from this thread. It started a new email thread though. I freaked out when I saw I had gotten 23 emails in the last 3 hours, then I realized they were all from this thread. 😛
