"Deaf" SCs, and Guy the ASPCA Love

[Tama]

From now on all my posts will include a bad side and a good side. We all need some cheering up...

Bad News

Dear Miss Bitch:

You came up to my line, and I politely informed you that I was closed. You gave me the stinkeye, stayed in line, and continued to have the same look during our whole transaction. You snatched your bag away and left in a huff.

What the fucking hell is your issue? Is your day going that badly that you want to make me suffer as well?

Good News

Guy comes through my line buying huge rolls of beef, some frozen veggies, and 20 1-lb packs of rice.

When I ask what he's cooking, he said, "Dog food."

He said he had 3 large dogs (I think Newfoundlands, can't remember) and that he cooks their food from rice, beef, and frozen veggies. They get SOME kibble but the bulk of their food is this mix.

This is impressive because...well, he also told me he has 3 teenagers to cook for as well.

I am evil - I would have asked if he just feed the teenagers the rice and meat mix. :-)

His recipe for the dogs sounds a lot like one of my simple recipes for me!

Actually I do the same for the my dog, just not as much rice. Its way way cheaper then canned food and she is much healthier for it.

I'm thoroughly impressed with pet owners who do this. It must take a tremendous amount of time...

I think he bought more of everything because he had 3 HUGE dogs. :P

My mum cooks meals for her 2 medium sized dogs every day. They usually have mince, veggies like carrots and brocolli and she sometimes uses proper mixer to bulk it up.
My dad has come home and started eating the dogs dinner because it looked so appealing

More then once Dad wondered what was for dinner when we were making it.
Actually once monthly we throw a ton in a big pot cook it, then freeze it. Lasts a month and we don't have to cook daily.

We do the same for our dogs. We cook it in a five gallon pot and freeze batches of it. My younger bros have come home, looked in the pot and said dinner looks good. They were then disappointed to find out that they were looking at the dogs dinner and they were getting fishsticks.

I get the pre-bagged "85% red meat" food from Evo or Innova. The dog certainly loves it, and he doesn't need to each quite as much (by volume) compared to the grain-based foods. I look at it this way -- cost per unit is around 3x the grain stuff, but he eats half as much and is still satisfied, happy, and healthy (literally -- 100ish-pound husky who doesn't always finish even a 2 cup bowl). I'll throw in the occasional bit of egg or fresh meat when I have it, too, as a treat.

As a bonus, more digestible matter in the food means smaller, less-stinky land mines in the back yard, too ^_^

No no no... he feeds the rice mix to the teenagers, and then feeds the teenagers to the dogs.

My Grandmother used to make a hamburger, rice and carrot mix for our dogs when their stomachs were upset. She would make a huge pot and leave it on the stove. I think I ate more of it than they did

No no no... he feeds the rice mix to the teenagers, and then feeds the teenagers to the dogs.

My boyfriend said something similar to his parents (they're going away soon so we're housesitting). His mum pointed out that all he had to do was bring the bins in, sweep the front and get the mail, then his sister pointed out "and feed the birds".

Boyfriend response? "Yeah I'll make it easier-I'll feed the mail TO the birds"

20 1lb bags of rice???? Do they not sell bulk bags of rice where you live?

[Tama]

We do, but perhaps we were out today. I think the only huge bags of rice we have are of jasmine.
