I don't have a long-term solution. But to help get over an immediate hump, Reddit has a sub-reddit where you can crowdsource help for feeding your pets: old.reddit.com/r/RandomActs... . It is best if you can set up an Amazon Wish List to make it easy for people to get the right things.
Random acts of pet food. • r/RandomActsOfPetFood
This subreddit is for active Reddit community members to receive temporary help with their household pets.

This will give you a deep brown rich broth. Not that pale wimpy stuff you get in cartons.

Take your bones, put them on a baking sheet (or 2) and roast them in a 350 degree F oven until they get dark, golden brown. Usually 40 minutes or so for me. Then boil them in a large pot with the herbs you like in your soup. Rosemary, thyme, and sage for me. More recently, I use a pressure cooker.

I've done it for several years now. And it works a treat. I combine it with brining overnight which makes for a very good turkey. Highly recommended. And the turkey spine you cut out becomes part of the turkey bone broth you make on Saturday.

So I have a question. Do you as the author get actual money from your books being downloaded from these Kindle Unlimited $0.00 offers? How much? On a scale of "not worth bending over to pick it up from the sidewalk" to "I can get a Starbucks this week". Am I supporting you? Or just the algorithm?

Random question about the design popped into my head: Do the differences in the center of mass between men and women and even children make a difference in crash results?

Yeah, but they stole those planes to crash into buildings. Petagon is betting they won't be so cavalier with their own planes. So all is good, right? Right? Right?

I loved Dougal Dixon's After Man. It would be fascinating to see how your vision compares/contrasts with his.

Simplest explanation I can come up with: Cup balancing on head. If there was a dog involved, was trying to keep smoothie from becoming an impromptu Pup Cup. If no dog, probably dancing and singing Ice Cream songs.

Cubs won World Series after midnight. My dad died the same day. We contend that he went to meet up with mom in the afterlife to celebrate with her. Never underestimate how strong the desire to see certain milestones can be the driving force in life.

And if they catch you doing it, they will go through the adorable nose jack hammering and ground patting without actually putting a nut in the ground. They really like to keep their secret treasure secret.
