Oh well. I am a reward member so thanks for the saving there but six cans, or four days worth, cost me just over $25. Let’s do the monthly math shall we …

Average 1.5 cans a day X 30 days a month X $4.59 a can X 13% HST = $233.40

A MONTH! Oh and that doesn’t include his edible bones (not ham bones) at $9.96 for three, which lasts him 3 days with spoiled Stanley having one per day. Add another $100 approximately a month for those and well, you get the picture. Profit margins are pretty high,

as high as 70 percent for bones, chew toys, and accessories. You can see with prices quoted above, it pretty much has to be!!!

People love their pets. Most, and I hope all, consider them part of the family.

If you love your pets and believe in the power of cannabis, you may or may not know that

hemp-based and CBD has emerged as a treatment for ailments your little furry friend might be experiencing.

Canada lost an icon recently. Personally, I lost a big part of my younger years. Well maybe not lost because in a sense, the memories remain. Being a big sports and music fan, these memories are what I’d consider my glory days, or the good old days for me. LOL (yes I am actually laughing out loud as I write that). Going to these big outdoor rock festivals watching one of my favourite bands, The Tragically Hip, being in front of the TV hearing Joe Bowen’s call of Toronto Maple Leaf’s Nikolai Borschevsky game 7 series winning monumental upset of the Detroit Red Wings in the opening round of the 1993 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, losing my shoe in a sea of people on Yonge Street after Joe Carter’s 1993 game winning world series winning home run.

This is my dog Stanley.

Stanley doesn’t drink, he’s posing for this picture. He’s my best friend. My shadow - Does ALMOST everything I do. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my dog. This past summer while I was away for a week, Stanley ate a ham bone. Not the best thing to give a 30-pound dog. Well three days in the pet hospital, many bags of IV fluids, and several enemas later

(TMI maybe), he was ready to come home. And with his release came a massive veterinary bill. He was to be on wet food only for two weeks. Wet food for two weeks has now become wet food forever. He loves it. Can’t blame him. He’s eating Alpine Rabbit Stew, Grandma’s Pot Pie, Brauts and Tots, and even Christmas Day Dinner. What I do blame him for is

the bill. One can sells for $4.59. ONE CAN! A dog his size is recommended he consume 1.5 cans per day.
