I feel like I want to bring Michael W Fox around with me everywhere, especially to the veterinarian and grocery store where people are still buying Alpo and Disney brand food. :yikes:

Ugh, I have had to unlike many pages for this reason.I've had some nasty messages sent to me for trying to have a conversation about it.

Intent is one thing. Health is another. Intent doesn't make the health problems go away. Which is worse on the health? I've taken in a lot of underfed dogs, pushing emaciation, but this dog didn't look like he could physically move. His skin is covered in sores from where his body was never not...

I had to do this with my last course because I came in about a month late.

It really is amazing for these schools to be doing this. Knowing how many people can't afford to get this education. I will never be able to afford a good college, and I am absolutely horrified of student loan debt.. And it's great because with my past independent studies, unless it was dogs or...

I guess I'll re-introduce myself here since I have the new username. Name: Raven, yes it's my real name. Occupation: Currently unemployed while I wait to finish immigration. Age: 24 About your dog(s): No dogs, just a cat. Rockefeller is a three year old Turkish Van (maybe, maybe not, but...

I'm spending the day tomorrow starting the course. For anyone new to Coursera, if you complete and pass this course, you get a certificate for it. The certificates you earn for passing courses can actually be used, shown to employers. That's part of why I signed up for the classes I did.

It's definitely a dominance training thing. Cesar Millan teaches this to people during his 'training' sessions. He claims allowing the dog to go in front of you makes it believe it is dominant. Basically, he is trying to go against the traits we have bred into guardian breeds for hundreds and...

Are there any theoretical benefits to mixing the two in one meal? I wish they'd just do a huge formal study on this already. I really can't believe the only one out there, to my knowledge, is the Stockholm study.

This is a relief. Thanks! I didn't really like studying with the people in my last coursera group, which was on mythology. I have to wait until tomorrow to officially sit down and start it but I'm excited!

Not trying to harp, but isn't it actually dangerous, not just "frowned upon", to mix kibble and raw meat into one meal because of the varied digestion rates?

Same! Been waiting a while for this one to start. I'm also signed up for the class on animal behaviour, which starts later this year.

This is my opinion as well. In the past year or so, I've been doing a lot of research regarding spaying and neutering. I've got a lot of studies piled up that I've gone through, and I'm currently taking a theriogenology course to get some more education on the subject. I can understand the...

Nope. But unfortunately, most of the world isn't like Chazzers! Off of Chaz, I'd say about 90% of people have issues with both of these things, to the point of turning it into an argument instead of a discussion. They will adamantly ignore studies, as well. Just gotta shrug it off I guess. I...

I wish they'd hurry up and release the trade paperback of ADWD. I really am against buying the huge hardback when I only own the small paperbacks. It'll throw off my bookshelf and then I'll have to look at it and it'll just continually irritate the hell out of me. :wall:

Right now, I am reading Perdido Street Station. Absolutely crazy book. Steampunk science fiction. Good imagery, cool creatures, interesting characters, and the overall plot has lots of twists (the good kind, not the unnecessary twists that occur for the sake of being a twist rather than...

Sleeping in my bed. Lots of people dislike that. I don't intend to neuter my male until after a year old, at least. Just about everyone I discuss this with hates me for it and goes on the offensive. I feed raw. Probably my most-hated thing to discuss. This is the one that sometimes gets me...

Previously had the username ravennr. Aaaaand we're back! Hope everyone is doing well. We're still without a dog for now. But, my boys are doing well. Found a user on Reddit by accident and decided to come back. :)
