Yeah - I'm not sure I'd be as concerned about it if I wasn't already worried about the shortness of breath. Like I said, have been attributing it to heat + age but recently noticed she's doing it even when the A/C is blasting plus she's really only 5 years old. Was planning to ask her vet about it - definitely will now. And will probably change the food just to be safe.

Didn't know that about Merrick! Makes me want to switch even more.

Welp. Looks like Daysie is about to be changing her dog food.

Right now she eats Merrick grain-free and one of the main ingredients is potatoes. It's what they were feeding her before I got her and it has good reviews so I just never changed it. I actually have been noticing she's been short of breath and low energy, too. I chalked it up to her getting older plus the heat.

Does anyone have a brand they recommend?

Ah! I stepped away from my desk for a minute! What did I miss? He mentioned an indictment? Who's being indicted?!

ETA: OK. Caught up. So basically this is just a conversation about the criminal acts perpetrated by the 12 folks identified in the indictment. Presumably could be the tip of the iceberg - these must have been the fastest/easiest indictments to push through.

Eh. Derailleurs are pretty cheap/easy to replace.

Oh, the phone? Yeah. That's toast.

Interesting that he's choosing to make it when Drumpft is overseas.

I can take a stab at it over the weekend. Just something short like we did for p_mouse. May reach out for contributions.

Me: I don't want to use the word nefarious, but...

Analyst: I don't know what that word means so use it away.

Ha. That's funny.

It's one of the few remaining (and rapidly disappearing) spots like that. If you like it you should totally go and give it some love.

Right next door to Stonewall at 55 Christopher Street. Entrance is below street level so you have to go down some stairs. If you don't know it's there you might miss it.

Maybe I'll see you there.

Yes. I was very sad to hear this news. She was a lovely, vibrant woman. Thankful to have met her.
