Have you ever considered feeding your dog RAW dog food?

We feed ours a mixture of RAW chicken backs, RAW ground dog food(beef, poultry, etc) and kibble.

Also, supplement 100% canned pumpkin or squash.

Those wanting to drive cannot pass a drug test. You would think they would take the vaccine.... if it gave them a high!

Only 3% of truckers are in a union.


Thank you. At my last company, if you mentioned “union” you were fired on the spot, and that is well-known in the industry.

You make a good point. Add a little “juice” to the mix and when word gets around you get a high, they’ll flock to get their clot shot.

Vacuum sealing and mylar w/02 absorber sealing helps.

Back before white guys were THE problem in the USA Ike (R) signed the Federal Highway Act in 1956 to build the interstate highway system. By 1961 when Ike left office over 10,000 miles of highway had been built and were in use.

A couple of years later JFK (D) said he wanted to put men on the moon by the end of the 60s because it was hard to do. It required finding a bunch of guys who were willing to strap themselves to the top of an explosive and see if they really could survive the ride and then space itself. By the end of the decade a couple of Americans were walking on the moon.

In 2021 we ran out of truckers because of laws that made it expensive and risky to run trucks in California and lavish unemployment benefits made it easier to make your living on the couch. So Biden (D-mentia) had his transportation secretary take a vacation and then lecture us on the importance of gay paternity leave while the rest of the administration tells us there is no fix and it will last at least until next year or longer.

A few days ago a reporter asked Biden's energy secretary what she would do to solve the problem of Americans having to sacrifice because Biden destroyed our energy independence and fuel costs had skyrocketed and she ... laughed in his face and said it was up to OPEC to do it.

American sure has come a long way in the last 50 years.

I’ll think about getting back on the road once this country out of the hands of communists.

But wait, Biden said ordinary Americans aren’t smart enough to understand supply chain problems.

Another option besides the freezer, if you live in the north, is to secure it on an outdoor porch during the winter months.

Once winter hits and the temperature remain below freezing, stuff that it is not critical remains frozen solid can be stored there.

Maybe the Biden admin can have someone go on and laugh about this too.

Timing could be my problem. As long as they were on the shelves, I bought a few on every trip but they’ve been gone for awhile.

It keeps me checking.

😉I wish some of our stores would get some in, but I really don’t expect that to happen until spring/summer season. I do have a fair sized stash from earlier this year.
