"Stoner Progeny"

Yes, they dressed in rags, rarely bathed, had indiscriminate sex & frequently lived in the back of vans. They whined endlessly about the evils of democracy, money & war. Many stoners remained under the influence of anesthesia & alcohol for over a decade. Those that found sobriety, quickly converted to capitalism. Dedicating their lives to the acquisition of wealth.

Is it possible that the Stoner offspring, now middle aged, are impacting American finance & government negatively? Is it possible that the Stoner progeny are morally & mentally defective as a result of parental drug abuse? Perhaps, questionable parenting, coupled with prior drug use has caused  Neuron/Dendrite destruction in the brains of their (free love) children. The result on a corporate - government level, may be in part why America faces endless humiliation ...... Stand by, the Stoner grand children are about to step up to the plate.

Yesterday evening, I got a call From Mike Harrington, residing in Mass. I was pleased to hear he is doing well. Mike's interests 15 years ago were primarily Rottis, Gsds & I seem to remember a particular Chesapeak Bay Retriever. Mike was an ambitious MK9 dealer. However, life became complex & he secured a job as an animal control officer, which he still holds to date. Mike is a fine trainer and decoy as well. He currently owns two Pit rescues. I hope to get some photos from him for our gallery. Perhaps if we get the property up north we could ask Mike to catch a dog or two.

Let's say a dog food company wants Chicken as a first ingredient. Entire Chickens are shipped to  a dog food facility. The chickens are ground & slurried into a homogeneous composition. The product is cooked, dried & pellitized creating the ingredient called "Chicken".

If the bulk of the process is done outside of the plant and shipped as a powder, which is converted with heat, pressure & time into a pellet. These pellets are referred to as Chicken Meal.

A number of years ago, I purchased a Patterdale Terrier bitch. I named her Girlie. I was told she was heavy in Gould blood, with an excellent pedigree. I was also told she was not a started dog, In other words showed little interest in hunting. Her weight was 14 pounds. She was a black broken coat, with a barrel muzzle, good head & strong narrow shoulders . Anyway,

Autumn Conditioioning Tips

Most dog owners tend not to push their dogs in hot, Summer weather. Now that the fall is upon us we look forward to cooler weather & greater out door challenges. What follows may save a dog from injury or even death. Many of us gently hose our dogs down after a run or exercise has been completed. A safe guard would be to hose your down before the run as well as after the run is completed. Many dogs prefer the hose be kept close to their body as opposed to being sprayed from a distance. Either approach will frequently stimulate dogs into working harder & safe guards against heat exhaustion. Do not underestimate Autumn temperatures.

PRICING

I spoke with a dealer of ours in NYC. We gabbed a bit about pricing & how excessively expensive many of the brands have become. I feel comfortable saying in spite of the manufacturing, transportation & packaging increases we have stayed the course with our 55 # bag. Delivering more per # value than our competitors. Depending on location, the average MK9 customer pays below $1.25 per pound. Many brands are going for $2.00 per pound and even as high as $2.50 per # for the smaller bags. It is interesting to note,our per # raw meat pricing is considerably lower than many of our competitors dry food pricing.

When we came into this industry most companies had 50# bags including MK9. About 25 years ago many companies went to the 40# bag. We on the other hand decided to be Mavericks & go to a 55# bag.
