Like the classic three stooges? That's awesome

I love bluey, was fun to watch with them.
Mine are on to spidey and friends, pokemon and super kitties. Most of all the new stuff is poorly executed cgi brain rot though.
I sure miss these dues, Not!

Exactly! It looks like the stuff we used to make with Microsoft Paint on Windows 95 lol.
Spidey is cool. My 4 year old is a fan.

Yeah lol my big boy loves the 3 stooges. He can tell you anything you want to know about them. I think it's great. He's a unique and cool little guy lol
 
I think my wife and I are the only nut jobs that make dog food on this thread. Our dog vomited in our bed last night and a bay leaf was in it. My wife added 2-3 bay leaves to his food while cooking it last night. She googled it and apparently bay leaves are toxic to dogs. Just a heads up.
We just feed our dogs raw, meaty foods. Basically we feed our dogs raw chicken leg quarters.
 
Here's my coffee pot. I bought it from the same place Kevin got his corals. 20251102_111847.jpg
Man... I feel bad for you.

Not to brag @kevgib67 but I have a Turkish coffee pot, 2 French Press, a Purover (Pour Over?), a Moka Pot, 2 or 3 Keurigs, a couple of regular old Mr. Coffee machines, and 2 or 3 different cold brew makers. I also have a couple of popcorn popper Coffee bean roasters.
 
My dog has an allergy to chicken, beef, grains and rice. Part of the reason we make it to know he’s getting exactly what he should. When my wife was in Florida I began adding a pound of ground lamb to 3 pounds ground turkey. He really seems to enjoy it.
You do realize cooking the turkey takes a lot of the nutrition out of it for the dog, right? Lamb might need to be cooked but I'm not positive.

We add additional nutrition with spinach, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas and/or corn.

I have a keurig. It was a wedding present almost 10 years ago. I did use it once to make some coffee for a coffee stout beer that I brewed.

Except dogs are carnivorous... They don't need all those vegetables.

The wolves they were derived from thousands of years ago were but the modern dog developed into an omnivore.

Not really. We started feeding them omnivore food. Put a bowl of fruit or salad next to a bowl of chicken or turkey and see what happens. 😁
 
They're still scavengers and will eat other stuff, similar to coyotes, but they're still carnivores.
 
Not me, but I bought mine already eating. When he arrived at my tank, he didn't want to eat, so what I did was put the food for the other fish on the opposite side of the tank from where he was, and I put the food near him with a pipette. On the second or third day, he started eating, and after a week, he was eating with the other fish.
