Question by bluhh!: when i was little, i always looked up to my dad. i don’t think i can anymore and i hate it.?
When i was little my dad knew how to deal with me. He was always light hearted and kind. I don’t exactly know where his mind snapped. As i got older he started to get controlling.. he used to make my sister and i clean the house all day everyday..sounds like normal father behavior.. i remember pulling an all-night cleaning the whole house so i would be able to go out on a Saturday. Instead of letting me have my Saturday, he found more things for me to do and said “that was last night”

A few years ago my parents got divorced. They hate each other, and i’m fine with that. My dad re-married a woman with three children, three dogs, and two cats. I’m allergic to dogs and cats to the point that i can barely set foot in their home. I take medication, but i also have tons of food allergies and his wife tried to claim they were “in my head”. Iv’e had scratch tests.. so they are NOT in my head. One time she knew i was eating something i was allergic to, and didn’t tell me. Every time i see her she says “how are you feeling today?” after i tell her i’m feeling great, she pretends i don’t exist the rest of the time that i am there. She would never give up her animals for me, and my dad would never ask her to. Despite all this, my dad is my dad.. and i always try to see him. I tried to sleep over the other day, but i had an asthma attack and had to go home at 2 in the morning, to take a shower and get my breathing under control. Even after all of my efforts to show my dad i love him, he still always blames me for everything that happens with our relationship. His wife likes to pretend that she’s helping our relationship. The other day for his birthday, she bought him a gift for me to give to him. I always get gifts for my father, so the fact the she did that, made me upset. Like i don’t love him enough or something? i was offended, so i text my mom about it so i could vent a little bit. my mom text back and said “she’s an ass”. Later on that day, i left my phone in the bathroom. my father knew i had text my mom, and decided to read it, and when he was driving me home, he had the nerve to tell me he went through my phone. And instead of asking me why i felt that way, he also decided to tell me that he was turning off my phone. I’m really hurt that even though i tried to show him i love him, he did that. you know? That was just too far. You don’t do that to your 17 year old, and if you think there’s something you don’t want to know in someones personal things, don’t read it in the first place.

I remember one time we were at a gas station, and there was a man who stole money from someone. The man who stole tried to get away, but was knocked out by someone (i don’t remember how) and people at the gas station called the police. My dad decided to be “heroic” and went to hold the man down while the police were on their way. The man was still sleeping face down, and when my dad went to sit on his back, he started rubbing the criminals face into the pavement. Not Heroic. I have held that in for so long, and tried to block memories like this out of my mind, that i feel like i need to put this out there so i can try to “let go” of it instead. i don’t know why i tried so incredibly hard to have my father and look up to him. i was only able to when i was a little girl, and oblivious. i’m ashamed.
i’m not really ashamed. i guess i’m just sad. i haven’t talked to my dad for a couple weeks, and i’m not planning on talking to him anytime soon.

Question by NemmaLie: Do you have a dog treats that contain little or no grain in them?
Hi, I was wondering if you had any low or no grain dog treat recipes that I could use? My friend and I are going to be holding a bake sale sort of thing near my local dog beach and at some parks near her house where we will be selling both human food and dog treats. We will then donate all of the money to the Humane Society (we were going to volunteer there but the humane society is full of volunteers, LOL!).

I want to sell treat that have little or no grain in them so that they are pretty healthy for the dogs, plus dogs with grain allergies could still enjoy the treats!

So, if you have any treats that you use or would like to use with your dogs, do you mind sharing them with me?

Thank You!

Emily

Question by Michey: Infamous dog food question? Need some advice (a little Long)?
Ok so I have two dogs one is 1.5 years old she is currently and has been on TOTW for over 8 months now for the first 6 months she did great but I have noticed she has more frequent diarrhea. Now before you say anything I have taken her to the vet done fecal, urinalysis, blood work and even scope work she just has a sensitive stomach probably due to grain/grass allergies.

My younger pup is about 7 months now and he came from the Humane Society and they told me he also has grain allergies. I have him on professionals because that is the grain-free food the Humane Society had him on and I did not want to switch him until her was atleast 6 months old but he too has had diarrhea problems.

I usually give them canned pure pumpkin in place of food at first sign of diarrhea and it solids their stool up in a few hours if that. Unfortunately pumpkin was in shortage last year and it is really hard to find canned pumpkin so I resorted to using sweet potato but it doesn’t work as well.

I heard natural balance has a good sensitive tummy grain free formula but I wanted to get some other dog lovers opinions. Also they both have bad breath again took them to the vet other then allergies they are both in good health.

Oh when the get diarrhea they act fine play, eat, drink and sleep like normal just watery or soft stool and can’t control when they got to go I am sure you know how it is but I would like to make this less frequent if possible.
No wet only kibble.
I tried raw diet but it did not agree with my older dog at all she does much better on kibble.
I am looking for a grain free for sensitive tummies.

Answer by cjrossi
Well TOTW is already grain free … so you’re looking for other grain free foods?

Orijen, Wellness CORE, Evo, yes Nat Balance has a grain free line. Instinct, Before Grain… all great grain free foods. Canidae has a new grain free line too.

You’re already doing the pumpkin … do you feed wet food or just kibble? If you feed wet food and the diarreah is really just soft stool, not watery – then increase the ratio of dry food over wet and that could stop it.

Question by Mr.Answers: My dog has bump/welts over most his body. It has been 5 days with little change.No vet for 500mi what is it ?
I thought it could be allergies or perhaps mosquito bites.I started bathing him every other day just because he likes it, it’s been hot, and because there have been bad fleas lately also. I noticed when he woke from a nap and had been sleeping on a damp spot of the pavement from where I had cleaned earlier and he laid down before it could dry. When he got up from his nap that side of his body that was damp was incredibly “welted”. it doesn’t appear to be bothering him very much.The thing that bothers me is that there are many stray dogs in this area. Disease and alot of really bad stuff like parvo etc spread really easy here. I volunteer on the weekends for a stray animal project so I know first hand how bad it is. I am constantly dealing with worms and other bugs he picks up from outside.If anyone has any idea what it could be I’d love to hear it.PLEASE NO REMARKS ANYTHING CONTAINING THE WORD VET.Im NOT in the U.S not everybody can run to someone else to save them with everything.
I mean it please nothing about vets ! I swear some people would starve and die if they didnt have money and didnt have the option to run to some stranger youll easily turn your or your loved ones lives in their hands just because they are in the phonebook as a doctor and they hung some crap on their wall.
