What the braves are doing is incredibly smart. Have to totally revamp their farm system.

they did that last off season. i believe they had a top 5 or so farm after the J-Up/Kimbrel/Heyward trades. now they're just trading guys to save money and make way for Albies who is several years away.

have the 3rd pick in the draft too, no need to trade arguably the best defender in baseball for an older SS and two pitching prospects that aren't better than what we currently have.

It doesn't look like they're building for 2017, looks like they're building for 2022.

Some of the trades made sense: Heyward, Gattis, Upton. I didn't like trading Kimbrel but this is the worst one for me.

26 years old on a team-friendly, long-term deal, he won DPOY LAST NIGHT. Ya'll, the Braves just traded Kawhi Leonard for ANOTHER PITCHING PROSPECT.

Anyone interested in holistic pet nutrition? I'm starting a YouTube channel for it. I'm a beginner at video editing and filming so the quality isn't great, but here's me with my dog. Let me know what you think.

Ok, so I believe that you aren't Rich Cho now. Your voice kind of sounds like Duncan Trussell's.

My boy turns 7 December 16th.

Braggins · Post #1716 » by **Braggins** » Fri Nov 13, 2015 4:42 pm

But yeah, hes hilarious. I had to put him on a diet because he was getting a tad chunky. I haven't been able to get him enough exercise because I tore my ACL a few months ago and haven't been able to be very active. Do you have any suggestions for diet food for dogs? I cut his dry dog food by almost half and then have been giving him lots of green vegetables to make up for it.

Dogs do much better on protein and fats for energy instead of carbohydrates. Most dog foods come with carb fillers in the form of potatoes, rice, peas, carrots etc.

I would feed him just meats as far as I can afford. The weight will come off unless you overfeed.

I can put weight on my dog feeding him zero-carb, meat-only. I was giving him whole salmon backbones, one a day. He eats until his whole body swells and he wobbles when he walks. His harness was getting tighter so I now switched to the salmon fish meal because I can portion it out better.

I've fed him:

Rabbit
Turkey
Sardines (in water, no salt added)
Salmon heads
Salmon backbone
Whole blue fish, gutted, fins cut, head on
Beef heart strips (grass-fed cow)
Beef liver (grass fed cow)
Chicken liver (farmers market, pastured, non-GMO)
Eggs (farmers market)
Chicken drumsticks (organic, uncooked) - These are cheap because most of the weight is bone and not food for humans. But dogs can do bone tissue that is soft and uncooked. Once you cook chicken bone it hardens and can pierce the intestines.
Marrow bones, raw (grass fed cows)
Bacon (pastured, no salt added, farmers market)
Pork rinds
Beef tallow, beef tallow rinds

He also killed a baby bird and I wouldn't feed him until he ate it. He killed and ate a whole rabbit that got trapped in a fenced-in dog park in Asheville.

He also killed 4 chameleons last week when I took him to the park. He will strike them with his paws but never eat them. It's frustrating but I'm guessing reptiles are very dirty and produce odors he doesn't trust.

Very well behaved dog MI. I've been helping my mom with her new puppy the past few months. I look forward to the day she is that trained. She's still only about 80% potty trained - still has about 1-2 accidents a week (especially with all the rain we've had) and she still can be a handful at night when her energy levels are thru the roof - lots of nipping. We started trying to teach her the rollover command this week, but we have to guide her with treats and she only goes over about 3/4s of the way.

One suggestion for videos - could use some better lighting. Hard to see some things due to darkness.

BTW, am I the only one disappointed that MI didnt have any of his lady friends in the video?

The only thing my guy has killed so far was a baby rabbit. I'm actually kind of worried about him going after my neighbors dogs if they come on my property. RR's are literally bread to hunt lions so they have an extremely strong chase instinct. Hes super friendly with both people and other dogs (in normal circumstances), but I'm worried someones dog will stroll into my yard and get scared and run away when he starts barking at them and then the chase will be on lol. I don't actually think hed hurt them, though.
