Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
True, sadly I think the dog food poisoning has been going on longer. I don’t know the history of it. Dog food used to made in the US. I remember seeing the local purina plant growing up. Most humans eat pure junk they aren’t going to swayed to feed the dogs quality food.
Well we are guilty of not restraining him. I tried so hard to get my daughter to put him in a restrained seat. There again not my decision and I lost that battle. Now he’s in the car at least twice a week. They have a house at the coast and he rides in there lap. A few times a month we go on Fridays and my daughter goes with us. Those days he’s in my lap and I have him in almost a death grip. He sits in my lap and sleeps. I put a towel over him and he’s out. I pray nothing ever happens but I can’t dwell on things I can’t control.
Today it’s no telling what’s in processed animal food. No wonder dogs get cancer between the shots and the food it’s hopeless.
