Ordering in Inukshuk 30/25 for October!
Still have to email the company about 32/32 for thru-hiking the Great Divide Trail and how to best handle bounce-boxes.
Have a feeling it might means vacuum-sealing the kibbles and freezing beforehand. But will check with the manufacturer first.

Zeke's father, Mr. Mauvback.
I have struggled with his design for a long time. He is based on all the shitty dads I know of. I want him to look kinda older, but also not so ugly that I wouldn't enjoy drawing him numerous times.
He is an ex-cop, currently a security guard at a yarn museum.
Critiques welcome.

Content Warning: food discussion, coprophagia
One good thing about switching from Acana to Purina Pro Plan is the pupper no longer eats her own poop.
Super excited about the not-eating-poop thing.
Was kind of annoyed because I was unaware of the ingredient changes.
Should have seen the recent trend for switching out grains for pulses coming. We moved away from Champion Petfoods since they kept switching the binder (eg. rice, pea, potato) on us depending on the global market prices. And one of our previous dogs was allergic to any starch from root vegetables: sweet potatoes, tapioca, cassava, yam etc. Stopped feeding Acana altogether in winter of 2015.
Difficult to find a brand which didn't change ingredients based on market fluctuations!
So, wasn't surprised the so-called "grain-free" kibbles found a cheap alternative to keep the prices down.
Just massively disappointed because the first time I heard about Acana was because Orijen (for cats) was the only decent kibbles available for ferrets.
(Believe me, trying to get an imprinted ferret to eat something other than kibbles is a pain.)
Anyway, found this interesting chart. Thought the visual from the paper is interesting.
Same for this table:
And here is the summary of that paper:
Source: Carciofi, A. C., F. S. Takakura, L. D. de-Oliveira, E. Teshima, J. T. Jeremias, M. A. Brunetto, and F. Prada. "Effects of six carbohydrate sources on dog diet digestibility and post-prandial glucose and insulin response" [PDF, 226 kb]. Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition 92 (2007): 326-336.
No archived versions, unfortunately.
Anyway, it's okay she eats Purina for the time being. She will be switching to Inukshuk or Redpaw when she's old enough to pack, and those contains ingredients often demonized by pet parents.
(But like exhale ... The Great Divide Trail has sections where there are no resupply for about a week or two. Every gram counts on a long-distance hiking trip.)

New character! (actually an old character that I am reworking). Nico is a homebody who lives with an extremely protective mother. Xe has a creative outlet in gaming and streaming, though, and is trying xyr best to make a living off of it so xe can leave home.
Gamer cat!!!

look. so many people use the classist card for this, but if you can't afford to feed an animal a diet that's not going to cause serious medical issues that will either kill it or require medical treatment for the rest of the animal's life, then maybe you shouldn't own this animal. "poor people deserve to have animal companions too" yes absolutely i agree, but maybe not at the expense of the animal's health.
