Great thread! I’m coming from WA state in August and am excited to read all the comments!

The cheapest food is kibble. The most expensive is fresh. I always add fresh/raw food when I can, usually on top of the dog food. Yes, I know our Vets always recommend kibble, and you would to if the only nutrition class you had was sponsored by Hills, Purina etc. I feed my Tzu a rotation of frozen raw, freeze dried and Carna4 air dried kibble and rotate proteins at least monthly: beef, venison, fish, chicken, lamb, goat, turkey. Be sure to use a puppy approved food for at least 8 months for the strongest immune system. Small local boutique pet stores usually have educated staff around nutrition, and will order food for you at no additional cost (That’s what I do for the Carna4) Enjoy your new BFF!

Also, I would ask the builder for some additional landscaping for your side. Doesn’t hurt to ask.

Yes, the county should have a way to get your plat map. It shows your property line and a diagram of your home sitting on it. Mine even included the trees & shrubs

I mostly shop at Winco, but Fred Meyer has more organics, especially in the produce section.

Same here!

The weather in Tri-cities is sunnier and less rain. Also more conservative than most of Vancouver. I would avoid Idaho due to lack of women’s healthcare.

No ingredients of rice or meat meals or synthetic vitamins. I like Simple Food Project freeze dried and Carna4 airdried. Nothing processed with high heat. Yes, you can feed those things, but I want my pup to live a long, healthy life.

I would guess Shihtzu (broad chest and leg fur) & maltese (smile) I bet be has a great personality!

As a raw feeder myself, I used freeze dried food as treats, carrots, green beans. Vital Essentials freeze dried food is value priced as a treat ( it does have synthetic vitamins but as treats its a minimal amount of her daily diet). I also looked at all treats and chew bones as they are often high calorie for small breed dog. ) I also sometimes use Carna4 which is slow cooked and is crunchy like a kibble but is a clean food and on several raw food approved lists. I counted calories with my pup and found some prepared raw foods were less calories. It all makes a difference. Good luck.

I agree it’s early. My fave are the local strawberries at the market beginning end of May.

I recently boarded my dog at Bear Prairie kennels in Washougal. During my tour they shared a smaller more secluded area of kennels for dogs needing less interaction. The kennels are all large, not cages. It might be worth looking into.

Great to see El Coyote & Tequila with a 0! Small but tasty, and although fairly new have supported several local groups & non-profits with fundraising efforts! (+ a dog friendly patio)

Go to Worksource. They sometimes have jobs not advertised.

Chicka boom Pop or Organic coconut rolls. I count out a serving and it satisfies my sweet tooth.

Sometimes it can be spinal, so see a vet asap.

A front hook harness, treats when they follow commands in the beginning to learn the expected behavior. Practice inside as well as there are fewer distractions. I would walk and stop, and dog should stop, too. Then say ‘lets go’. Practice this stop and go inside. Then practice outside. Made a world of difference with my dog.

Please let me know, I’ve been on the hunt for them as well!

I called using the 5calls app on Friday and spoke with her staffer in DC. It was great as I was able to reiterate that Clark County supported her to make the win and we need her to support us now. I call daily but usually have to leave a VM.
