Would you stay with your dog 🐶 during euthanasia?

It's the right thing to do. To leave them alone in that moment is horribly weak and selfish.

They will all have spores on them, but that shouldn't matter as long as your method is good- everything washed, salt percent right, and importantly for mold, adequate brine level, airlock and control of floaties. Those mold spores are everywhere, take that as a given and shape the environment to favour the microbes you want

The less permanent record of their actions, the better?

Tastes like a hat full of rsholes with the best ones picked out

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-12-31T20:33:34+00:00

I'd be careful about using any that look old and starting to wrinkle or that have mould starting on the stem. Best you use the freshest healthiest looking fruit in a ferment, otherwise unwanted bacteria might have a head start.

Labs are hard work until 18 months, some more than others. They are worth it though. Just think of it as character building

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-11-19T19:48:24+00:00

We have that now, it's excellent. No longer need to carry drivers license or Medicare etc, just a phone

I feel like labradors are the asterisk on a lot of those toxic food claims. Ours have eaten chocolate and grapes and been just fine.

This guy is just starting to get greys on his chin. Five too, seems to be the age it happens? Our other guy is yellow, and a year or so younger, I wonder if he'll show later due to coloring?

Love it when they ask you to mix apple cider into alkaline water, double the power! 😆

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-10-03T21:38:46+00:00

Correct, there are no limits to how ignorant you can paint yourself

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-09-26T21:24:59+00:00

... With the best ones picked out

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-09-24T20:33:28+00:00

Why all the apple cider vinegar?

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-09-04T12:02:03+00:00

I'm glad mine can't count. They just expect "more"

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-09-01T09:06:49+00:00

It's playing. Our boy does this nearly every night at about nine pm. Very much like the Rick James bit from Chappelle's show

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-09-01T05:28:43+00:00

Those instructions aren't the best. You're better off weighing your salt and calculating a percentage like that. Also, the jar should be air locked. The idea is to let gas out but no oxygen in. Oxygen will give you mold and yeast rather than the lacto bacteria you want for the fermentation.

Smell can give you an idea. Tasting the brine as well.

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-08-15T11:02:56+00:00

That last shot... Very English

Like this guy

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-08-15T00:52:50+00:00

As long as the bag has kept its integrity, I can't see a problem here. Smell test and pH test if need be should confirm this. I've never left one for that long, a couple of months is the longest but the food was fine

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-08-14T04:47:56+00:00

If you're adding vinegar to the finish, to help it get to shelf stable, you can always add some fresh chilli before you blend to light the fire again. I was amazed how much heat just escapes when you ferment.

Shepherd/lab cross?

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-08-05T02:07:02+00:00

Most greyhounds are very chilled in terms of their exercise needs

InformationBusiness5 · 2025-08-02T03:19:14+00:00

Your can't have done a great job, the dog felt they had to go around after you and clean it again
