    Default Not quilting but dog food info

    I know I have a really difficult time hauling 30#bags of dog food up the 14 steps to my front door. I found this company that has many kinds of pet foods, and the one I feed, and if your order is over $49 they ship it right to your door for free.

    I ordered food on Monday and, believe it or not, it arrived via UPS on Tuesday and did I mention the shipping is FREE. Because I was a first time customer and they had a 10% off coupon to boot, I saved $30 on the order, almost the cost of one of the bags of dog food.

    Life is good and so is my back from now on. The UPS man carried it right to my front door.

    WoW!! At that Price I could feed my Lily for life and maybe even the next dog too!LOL
    Truth is I was at a local pet store and they gave me so many samples it filled up 1/2 her feeder dish! no kidding! and when we buy a 4lb bag it lasts 6months or more! She eats soft am/pm dry as she wants. Shes only 5lbs. very low cost.

    Must be nice! Leo weighs 60+ pounds & eats like a horse! But I wouldn't trade him for all the money or dog food in the world!

    LOL...Tink is on a prescription dog food, so no more going just to a store to get her food. I have to order it from vet.
    They ordered the wrong size for me this last time. I only took it because I really needed it and couldn't wait another week till the next order came. Vet did cut me a deal on the price, but Tink has enough food to last 6 months. I had to use every one of my large plastic containers to hold the food. Have to keep it fresh for her majesty...and have to make sure we don't have any reason to get some of those nasty little grain bugs.
    I sure wish I had the vet deliver the food...it was heavy to drag in...

    Im 72 yrs old and struggle to load and unload liter from the grocery cart.
    Nobody has ever offered to help me load or unload. Manners do not exist anymore.
    Even walking down the sidewalk I have to get out of younger peoples way as they do not give an inch.

    Hey, that's good to know. I hate having to lift bags of dog food, and not just because they're heavy. I had the bottom fall out of a bag of dog food as I was lifting it from my cart at the checkout one time. Round pieces of kibble roll a long way when they're dropped from about three feet off the ground.

    And there I thought it was just me! I have a wonky knee & use the powered carts when I'm in the store. If I had a dime for everytime somebody glared at me or said something hateful about me being in the way, I'd be a millionaire. Never mind if I actually need somebody to reach something for me. Kids these days!

    I lucked out. I have two teenagers that live next door.. I made them quilts, but they would've done it for me anyway. We swap dogs.. They have a prissy girl, and I have a tough little boy who loves to play.. (except in the mornings.. he doesn't do mornings).
