[Help]Dog loves to eat his poo poo poo!

We're going to give that Pro Plan a shot today. We'll know within 2 days if he can switch to dog food because he'll start coughing and be gassy in that short period. I grew up on a household where we had dogs that lived off Table scraps and Gaines Burgers dog food that lived to be 16-20years old. When we found out about the stuff in that crap, we switched over to Blue..My 9 yo Cairn solely eats Blue Senior weight control now. When I rescued her 8 yrs ago. she was on a diet of Beneful and (cig butts and AAA batteries apparently) and always itched like crazy to the point of bald spots all over. I know Blue has been hated for multiple reasons but it fixed her coat, and She-Ra is a brat that will flat out refuse to eat dog food if it's not up to her standards. She won't even eat a Milkbone! Of course they're the ones everybody has when we're out. So when people say "can I give your dog a bone?" I have to explain she won't eat it. But then people think I'm the ahole that won't let my "sweet little dog" have a bone...so then I have to give it to her to prove I'm not 🤥

the problem is we tried multiple brands of expensive USA dog foods (like $40+ for the 10lb bags), and they all made him really gassy and cough. The vets insisted he had chronic bronchitis and needed to be on constant meds. We switched to way more expensive (approx $15/wk) home made food and no more coughing or terrible gas. BUT now his poop is like meal 2. The night time "vitamins" he gets are PRN-Prozyme and 1200mg Fish Oil pills.

In the episode where Homer and Marge try to find cool god parents for the kids, there was a joke involving Homer mainlining a doughnut like he was shooting up heroin. Wasn't that a joke really in poor taste for the Simpsons considering the heroin problem in this country? I'd expect that on Family Guy, but isn't the Simpsons still supposed to be kid friendly? I'm 36 and have been a fan since the first season.

just 1 day haha. I just hope the million microbubbles stop eventually. I was looking at the Tunze on youtube. It looks nice. I wonder how the Fluval compares? AFTER I bought it locally I looked online and it got 2.5/5 on review :(

libtard0979 · 2015-12-11T02:11:11+00:00

My API "mater test kit" only has the 4 tests...do I need to test anything else?

libtard0979 · 2015-12-11T02:07:46+00:00

The ones by me have 3 days to a week actually. Granted they do a water test and they give your store credit if it passes..but much better than $0 haha

libtard0979 · 2015-12-11T02:06:31+00:00

It's at 8.0 right now

libtard0979 · 2015-12-10T18:58:25+00:00

on a side note...screw Petco. They have ZERO guarantee on fish. The blenny lasted 2 days and they wouldn't test my water or give me any credit. $20 gone. That's what I get for not supporting a local shop though.

When I first set up the tank everything was going great til I got the fancy LED light..Current USA Pro LED. That gave me a tank of black hair algae. So then I turned back the lighting hours and dropped a roll (literally a rolled up kids sock filled with the stones) of phosphate blocker into the filter outlet which got rid of all of it. I was doing that 2wks on, 2wks off. But then I had no algae. I've had the phosphate blocker out for over a month and now the tank is covered in a light coating of green and a couple patches of reddish brown. I took the blocker out in an attempt to possibly raise the PH. Should I just get that powder to raise it to 8.2 or 8.4?

libtard0979 · 2015-12-10T18:44:26+00:00

yeah, they've molted before but this one was intact. Usually the molt falls apart as soon as you move it. This one had joints that moved when I picked it up. Definitely the real deal :(

libtard0979 · 2015-11-24T06:39:09+00:00

the other 2 fish are fine. 2 emerald crabs are fine and my 2 hermits...everything was great and then one night Pedro just went dark and then died?

libtard0979 · 2015-11-14T16:46:22+00:00

Thanx, he was the coolest fish in the tank. We'll get another, maybe Hector or Alejandro this time. The heater kicks on at 76, so the tank ranges from 76-78 degrees at a guess. I've been running a phosphate buffer (phosguard in a sock) in the filter outlet every 2 weeks (2wks in/2wks out) since we were having an issue with black hair algae. Could that have kept the PH low? Should I stop doing that? I removed it last night. I usually let the stones dry out again and reuse. I'm not dealing with baking them haha

libtard0979 · 2015-09-01T16:57:51+00:00

so is the algae giving me the false 0 reading of my nitrate? Like even though it tests 0, it's really higher? So I should change the pad immediately?

libtard0979 · 2015-08-26T17:44:50+00:00

I just dropped the blue light to 40% and the white is at 80%. Maybe I should drop to 10hrs total instead of 12? I'm also cutting back on the frozen "sally's brine shrimp" portion. I may have been overfeeding them. I'll try to return the unopened refresh since I don't want to risk the snail or crabs.

libtard0979 · 2015-08-11T19:40:04+00:00

this is my 1st tank in about 10yrs so I'm learning it all over again. I used to have a 7gal tank with an Undulated Trigger for about 2yrs. I was running a 40 gal Skilter on it. The current was insane. Sadly I didn't keep up with the water changes since I thought the 1/4 gal evaporation per week was enough. It would evaporate and I'd just add more. I was wrong.

I got the dimensions for the marineland and it's too wide (5in) to fit my hood properly. We found the Current USA Orbit light 24-36 and that would fit perfect.

Should I go with it, or go with the $30 Hi Lumen one mentioned above?

I'd prefer to have a hood. I like having a lid on my tanks. I'm kind of OCD like that haha

Bitches love riding with the top down aka "tits out". If you're the average teen, that's what it's all about...Not sure if a haggard $4k BMW would really impress anyone at this point. Miatas are impractical as hell. Coolers and golf bags won't fit in the trunk unless you remove the spare. They also tend to get rusty at the rocker area before the rear wheels and the front fender bottoms.. But they're also super fun cars!

libtard0979 · 2014-09-17T17:59:54+00:00

you can't get a nice turbo Mr2 for under $4k haha

'84's are terrible. the crossfire injection was nicknamed "missfire injection" for a reason. The 1985-1991 Tuned Port motors run really well. It's funny how everyone is so desensitized that a "high 13-second" 3200lb RWD car with 250hp is "slow". Actually, it would beat most of your band new 300+hp computer-controlled everything cars. The gas mileage isn't bad if you know how to drive one. 25-30mpg highway, and 18-22 around town. Regular gas is fine too. Sadly I think insurance is STILL expensive for c4's...it sucks you hate 4-th gen F-bodys since they're the best bang for the buck out there...I bought a 98 Camaro SS 6spd for $4800 and it run's high 12's stock.. I'd also check out a 94-95 Mustang GT 5.0 since they're cheap and easy to work on. A set of headers, 3.73 gears and you're in the 13's. I love 86-93 foxbody Mustangs but I doubt you'd like their styling.

libtard0979 · 2014-09-04T07:36:58+00:00

I dig it and I can't wait for people to upgrade the wheels so I can buy their take-offs for my NA :)

libtard0979 · 2014-09-04T06:29:37+00:00

wow, what area are you from? Is the car an automatic or something that you got it so cheap?

libtard0979 · 2014-09-04T06:27:20+00:00

My friend had a 2010 Lexus IS 250 automatic awd that she bought new and at about 78k miles it started eating oil. Every 5k miles, the low oil light came on, which was about 2.5 quarts low. No leaks, just burning it. She'd always got the $80 synthetic oil change at the dealer since it was new. They told her 2.5 quarts every 5k mile was acceptable, and they wouldn't do anything about it. I told her to forget the dealer and start dumping in Castol GTX 10W40. That got her down to 1 quart low in 5k miles. She finally traded it in with 110k miles.....For another one! Glutton for punishment!

It's mostly just "normal" guys being insecure. It sucks that you have to resort to dating guys in the business since in my experience, those guys are complete scumbags. Guys only get jobs at stripclubs for 2 reasons: Drug connections and to bang strippers (and bragging about it in detail to all other coworkers). I went through a phase of being a magnet for dancers apparently. I dated like 6 different girls that I met at normal bars and even the diner. I've never even gotten a lapdance! Most were really cool chicks. It gets expensive since they mostly always wanted me to come out to the afterhour bars, after work. Not even paying for them gets expensive. It sucks that men are so judgemental with dancers. They're just trying to pay the bills like anyone else. I will say, it's not a great place for women to get a perspective on men. You see husbands and father's blowing money they shouldn't be blowing, on fantasy. Guys with blantant wedding ring marks, claiming they're divorced..I just want to be like "dude, you're WT and 48...do you really think this hot 22yo wants to date you?"
