I’m home, Honey!
I was busier than I had expected which is good. I like having this little produce shop available and want it to do well.
Folks mostly paid cash and were pretty nice about using small bills so I didn’t run out of change, but I was getting a little nervous the last hour. I’ve got almost twenty dollars worth of quarters in my car (long story) so I could have fallen back on that if needed.
I have the store’s float in my desk drawer. A hundred bucks in change, ones and fives. I am strangely uncomfortable about this, I don’t really like being responsible for other people’s money.
He does have his redeeming points. He knows that I’m mad at amazon. I’m not sure if he really understands my objections but he knows that I am boycotting them, so he is boycotting them in solidarity.
My watering can didn’t make the move so I need another one. I went to amazon and looked them up and showed hubs what I wanted (cheap plastic with a detachable sprinkler head, nothing fancy). He was very proud of himself for finding almost the exact thing at Lowes for a third less.
And then I didn’t show the pic either. Blame the drugs, LOL!
Those bastids!
So here is JtC’s theory of kitty kidney health:
Cats first evolved in the desert and got most of their moisture from their prey so didn’t really become big water drinkers. They didn’t need to.
But now they live in homes and eat dry crunchy bits and live in a constant state of mild dehydration. This is not good for their kidneys, they need the water to flush out all of the crap it has been filtering out.
Cats in the wild didn’t outlive their organs, nature isn’t kind to small fierce carnivores. Cats that live safe inside are able to die of age related causes and their abused kidneys are usually the first to go.
Adding gooshy fud to their diet helps their kidneys just by virtue of adding moisture.
Ours do not drink tap water, they get their filtered water in a fountain because they seem to like running water better. They get a tablespoon or so of warm water mixed in their gooshy fud twice a day and they do not get grain in their food.
