  1. This is "hear say," so take it what it's worth.

    Apparently the complaining neighbor was the property manager where Javier and Magaly live. They always paid the rent and have receipts. But the owner came to them and said they needed to pay the back rent. The "property manager" had allegedly pocketed the rent money himself. Now that the story has come out, the neighbor is vindictive: burns tires at night, throws rocks onto their roof, etc.

    Question: why hasn't the property owner filed charges of theft against the "property manager?"

    Question: why does ONE neighbor (who is allegedly a thief) be allowed successfully to file a complaint (to evict Javier and Magaly) when none of the other neighbors has a complaint about the dogs?

  2. Marcelyn, I don't intend to be contradictory, but I have a couple of comments in response to your post about beautiful Anouk. Just food for thought.

    First is the comment ""0nly egg white" per Dra. Chely "not the egg yolk." Do some research on the internet. There are pros and cons about giving egg whites to dogs (a lot regarding raw egg whites). Some say yes, some say no, some say only cooked egg whites, others say it doesn't matter. We each have to make our own decisions. My decision in my case:  I have 18 dogs. Now that my six chickens have started producing, I put the six raw eggs, shell and all, into a blender with sufficient water to make a slush of it all. I then mix this with the huge bowl of Kirkland kibble to feed them each day. (The egg yolk is actually the most nutritious but has more calories. That could be the reason Dra Chely suggested only the white. But just feed less. All my dogs could "lose a few pounds" and I keep harping on Jose to feed them less but...)

    (Feeding them raw foods would be my first choice, but it's impossible with so many!)

    For other days, I make a gelatinous broth from turkey wings at PriceSmart, add that and the cooked turkey meat to the huge bowl of Kirkland kibble. (Sans bones; I save the cooked bones to put out for street dogs. never give cooked bones to our own beloved dogs, but I figure street dogs are accustomed to eating whatever they can find.)

    Regarding Nylabones: Also, do your own research. 

    Here's a quote from one page:  One of the most trusted names in dog chews is Nylabone. For 40 years they've made some of the most popular dog chews. But there is growing evidence that some of their product lines - like one made from a gummy material - could be harmful, even fatal, to your dog. https://www.purelypets.com/wellness-center-archives-3/66-nylabone-warning 

    Geeze--one hardly knows what to do these days, both for the health of ourselves and and our animals! There is a lot of "evidence" on the net, both pro and con, regarding any and all subjects. We just do the best we can with the knowledge we can find.

    Again, just food for thought. Please, in no way construe my comments as any criticism about your care of the beautiful Anouk. She is very lucky to have you and Bud as "parents."

     

     

  3. Yeah! We found the sought after rag chew in David yesterday afternoon. Of all places at El Rey. A monster of wrapped material with both ends of dangling pieces. About 18" long, and cost $7.59 (ouch). Anouk loves it. Maybe we should buy several more... this one is lasting longer than a few minutes, but it too will probably succumb to her energetic playing.

    You can usually find these at Todo a Dollar.

  4. Well, there are pros and cons about raw vs cooked bones on the internet. I give my dogs raw beef bones and have for years. I checked into Nylabones on Amazon. I considered ordering them, but with 18 dogs, they are too pricey. Then I saw some negative reviews about them on Amazon--health hazards, dental risks, etc. You've used the Nylabones with no problems, I've given the raw beef bones with no problem. 

    Re chicken bones, I'll bet Dan was talking about cooked chicken bones. For a long time I fed my dogs raw chicken thighs. Never a problem. I'd buy 100 lbs. at a time, frozen from Price Smart. But I quit when I became concerned about the hormones and antibiotics given to farmed chickens.
