The comedy of politics

I am now seeing where Scott Walker from Wisconsin is planning on running for President.  If he is elected, then the Koch brothers will have what they have always wanted--they will own the White House.  Scott Walker is so deep in their pockets, he will strangle on the lint.  Haven't heard much from Cruz recently.  That is one scary dude.  He follows his father's beliefs and his father cloaks his communism in religious rhetoric.  He pretends to be a religious dominionist.  when what he is really espousing is communism.  And Ted got his beliefs from his father.  Also, Ted was raised to believe he was the chosen one.  He is all bluster and has no character. And he makes jokes about the WW11 generation.  This crawls up my spine like nothing else.  The joke about his stupid speech being his Bataan Death March was about as low class and tasteless as he could get.  It certainly told me how he regards those who gave everything for this country.  I guess unless you are a Cuban terrorist, then it does not count.  I just can't let go of the face that we allowed a domestic terrorist into this country.  And don't forget that he lived here off the taxpayer for 47 years without applying for citizenship.  That tells me he had no interest in this country until Ted got into politics.  Then he saw a change of finally running a country.  Self-serving and dangerous.

Dog food

I still haven't found anything claiming a recall nor an investigation into Nutro.  I am, however, still seeing post claiming dogs getting sick from it.  I would have just ignored all this except I can look back and possible see a problem for mine.  I would put out dry food for the little guys to snack on while I am gone.  They would not eat it.  And a few times when I have set Daisy's food dish down, she has just looked at it then at me.  It would take her longer than normal to eat it.  At lest twice either she or Missy have thrown it up.  And Daisy was always eating grass.  Well, to be on the safe side, I switched to Purina One Venison and Chicken.  Not crazy about some of the ingredients, but the meat is the first ingredient so the food has to be 95% meat.  My little guys love it.  Daisy and Missy have no problems and Daisy almost takes the bowl out of my hands.  And no one has thrown it up.  Jock would always throw up the Nutro kibble if he ate it.  So in view of all this, I am withdrawing my endorsement of Nutro.

I also called Purina to ask where they got their ingredients.  I was told that they buy from the local farms near them.  They do not use processed chicken.  That was a plus since all our processed chicken is now coming from China.  The Environmentalists are right.  Think globally, buy locally.  I also add vegetables to my guys' food.  I will always chop tomatoes or add some spinach or basil. No onions or garlic though.  I have always had the cats on Purina because that is all they will eat.

The two foundlings

My two foundlings.  This is Jock and Duncan.  Notice Duncan has no problem playing now.  He has made Jock his best friend much to Jock's dislike.  Neither are groomed by a groomer.  I take the clippers to them about every three weeks.  Toenails and ears are the difficult part.  Jock hates to have his ears cleaned and his toenails clipped.  So I get snapped at a lot.  Other than that, he is the sweetest little guy.  Duncan just curls up into a ball so I have to kinda unwind him.  He takes me longer than Jock to clip and he has less hair.  Notice the concrete floor.  I am thinking I will put down brick and clearcoat it.  I think that will hold up to my friends.
