Monday was on Iams hairball formula for years and her coat was amazing. But when she got pancreatitis, she got special food. Now she gets limited ingredient sensitive tummy dry food and crazy expensive high protein wet twice a day. Her coat matted real bad until this winter, I cut a bunch out and she looks great, now

ever thought about raw food?

A little more trail work...

She gets maybe a half can a day @ $1.10/can. It seems to work well and both Chewy and PetSmart have it. The feed store in Scappoose has it, but it's $1.25.

Not canned food, I meant REAL raw food?

Rode the full suspension bike for the first time since I got the hardtail. I think I like the hardtail a lot better, will see when I can get back on some proper trails. FS is definitely faster but the hardtail may be more fun.

Yup, both cats until the one developed a series of urinary blockages
...and yes their coats never looked better.

Now on the prescription 65.00 for 3 kilo's of dry kibble and the 3.00 a can wet but last checkup showed clean and clear pee, so looks like it be working.

Wheelie practice starting to come along much better. Just did a 26 mile ride while my vehicle was getting tires swapped and did hundreds of wheelies all over the place, even starting to wheelie down hills and some manual action. Really starting to feel the balance point and sustain. Getting into a high (hard) enough gear was real important, plus pedaling more against and not raising the front up too high initially. Maybe even starting to be able to steer. Had to even stop wheelie-ing when there was an intersection coming up (wheelie across intersection, next goal).

No, have not looked into that. She is half feral and mainly outside. She has her own door, so she can come and go.

I will look at raw options. The diet was high protein, no fish.

research it. You will find many advantages. Main downside is $$

Good riding today. Trails are mint, hero dirt everywhere. Fuck the incoming snow.

My kid is starting to exhibit signs of significant depression. I am very worried about him. We have a zoom meeting with someone on Tuesday, but it could be a long weekend.

He is a bit of an introvert, but he has lost interest in anything and everything he used to enjoy except his Nintendo switch. Food, friends, art, biking, he just doesn’t give a shit anymore.

One of the guys from BaT coming by to look at the car tomorrow lives on the other side of the open space behind me. Our decks look out at each other's. We've been having a good laugh about it already.

Float tube and fishing gear loaded into the car. Bass ponds await us tomorrow. Island pond is our first choice

Sounds like he is ready for the apocalypse.

I'm not discounting your observations but I would caution you to consider "some" of it is related to puberty.

My daughter (not quite 14) has/had the same situation (phone) but it predated CV19 by about 2 years.



Sucks for sure though, and I hope talking about his feelings with a professional helps you / him figure things out.

I'm not a big fan of giving kids psychotropic meds*, though I concede that it can be helpful for some...




*Dr feel better would prescribe 5 mg cbd gummy instead

Introduce him to speed metal. It worked for me.
