No, it’s an amazing product that does wonders for certain dogs (and humans) when used correctly.
You have to research brands and dosages carefully though; there are varying concentrations and some of them contain THC. Many brands are ridiculously marked up for no reason.

There’s also many different opinions on how and when you should dose an animal but I don’t know enough about that to give any thoughts.

Gotcha! And thanks to you and @KDOGG331 for the rundown.

That makes a lot sense. There was a news story here not that long ago that tested a bunch of CBD products and found almost all of them had waaaaaaayyyyy less CBD than they claimed! This one poor woman who ran like a bake shop type thing I think had gummies that tested negative for any CBD at all! She took them off the shelf immediately and found a new supplier haha so it makes sense that the dog ones would vary too. And it’s not regulated yet right? So no one stopping them from making false claims or dangerous products.

So I guess you really have to be careful with it still.

And it’s not supposed to have THC right? How would you even know if it did?

So hard to know which ones are pure or high quality or whatever.

Hope your new shoes solve the problem!
Glad to hear you like your professors.

Thanks Nana! I hope so too.
And yes, they are all very nice people.. might’ve spoke too soon about my biochem prof though, he’s got the handwriting of a drunk chicken.

Wonder if it’s just GSDs or all shepherds?

In my experience shepherds in general tend to be more sensitive. You can’t be as heavy handed as you could be with, say, a lab.

That makes a lot of sense!! Thankfully I’m used to sensitive dogs, Gator was a sensitive dog/easily got his feelings hurt and Libby and Franklin are very sensitive too lol Libby can be naughty and stubborn sometimes so sometimes you do have to be a little bit firmer with her and she’s fine with that, almost likes/needs it, but if you hurt her feelings oh boy watch out LOL she is so sensitive and she literally sulks and acts like a human sometimes. She hates bathes so if you give her one, she will go hide under the table or bed and sulk after. and one time she saw me in the neighbors yard with the neighbors dog or maybe me getting into my car after? Can’t remember exactly but she somehow saw me there and not with her and ooooohhhhhh booooooyyyyyy. She came inside and was crying and howling and so upset and heartbroken for forever. FSIL sent me all these videos of her just staring out the window crying so bad. I literally had to come over after and visit them so she wouldn’t die of a broken heart. she was SO. SAD. It was heartbreaking yet hilarious at the same time. I usually am always there to see them and I wasn’t that time and she didn’t understand. Also whenever they are separated now, they get so sad and miss each other so badly. so Libby is definitely very sensitive and moody and super smart and just like a human lol oh and she also varies on when she wants affection and cuddles. Sometimes she does and is very lovey some days, other days she’s like “ew get away from me” Franklin isn’t really moody or emotional per se and is a bit dimmer but he’s just a very sweet, gentle, submissive type dog so if you even raise your voice he gets upset. thankfully you never have to cause he’s so good lol and thankfully I’m never really the heavy handed type anyway haha usually do mostly positive anyway but I do know what you mean. We’ve had Labs and lab mixes and they’re definitely more oblivious/happy go lucky and bounce right back or maybe aren’t even aware you’re mad but we also have had Pyrenees mixes (All 4 of the above mentioned dogs have or had Pyrenees in them) and they’re very sensitive lol Gator was half Lab and half Pyrenees so he was a little bit stubborn and dopey but also a sensitive, loving boy and extremely smart.

I love to travel just haven't made it very far yet. Williamsburg Va is the farthest north I've been, San Antonio Tx the farthest west, and Orlando Florida the farthest east. I have visited quite a few places in between tho. But yeah,I've basically lived my life in a southern fried box lol.

Traveled from Oklahoma to Washington DC, to all of the Southern states, rock hunted in all the South Western states. Have traveled to Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Montana and have visited family in California, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
Out of country to the Bahamas.

So cute.

I will go get some fresh pics in a second.
.

Fresh pics...
Heifer in her cast in the background nursing her mother. Don't know how she broke the leg. Cast comes off in 25 days. Our nor eyed bull all sewn up. Blue pack bandage come off in eight more days, other stitches come out in 28 days.

Lily and Ruby. The ducklings are showing their colors and the young drakes have their curls.

The older duck flock and the youngest 6 ducklings are juveniles now. Chickens running out when I opened the run gate after this morning rain.


I'm still trying to catch up...watching the OSU/Oregon State football game. Alma mater is ahead 31 to 10 just before the half.

Nana I can't tell for sure but do I see Rhodesian ridgebacks?

Hey Nana, have you seen this before?

I know it’s kinda silly but it’s so ingenious, I’ve always wanted to try it.
I see that your bull’s dressing is stitched on, but if you ever need an eye patch down the road... hehe.

Love your beautiful animals, thank you for the update.

Farthest north I’ve ever been is Alaska. Farthest south is Australia. I don’t keep much more track than that.

Have y'all seen those lykoi cats? Someone shared a pic of a chicken with their cat that has this mutation on an FB chicken pg yesterday (I believe it was). They are so ugly! They have no undercoat. Maybe I'm behind in this but I'd never heard of them or seen the likes of it.
