It's just out boss's dog who roams freely about, looking for snacks, lying down to sleep wherever the **** he wants. Really livens up the place.
I think it's a mixed breed, but there's a lot of labrador in there.

And yeah, what Frown said.

It's happening here now, but on a much smaller scale:

The forest I used to do fieldwork in has about 1000 acres on fire.. I smelt in from my house this morning which is about 40 minutes away.

OK, well that makes no sense if they cost the same. Idiots.

Homeopathy has a very powerful marketing force behind it that has made it so that people think that homeopathic is a synonym for healthy. It's similar to the push for organic foods or the fear surrounding things like aspartame and gluten. People usually mean well when they use or avoid these products, but yes they're morons.

I imagine homeopathic treatments are often more expensive, actually. Not sure if it would be the same for pets, but I remember back when my mom would drag my brother to questionable "naturopath" doctors, the prescribed treatments were often extremelyyyy expensive. Especially when you include all of the ridiculously overpriced supplements that are often prescribed alongside it.

Being related to naturopaths sucks. My parents buy a lot of supplements from their chiropractor and they will not believe that they're drinking snake oil by the gallon no matter what I say or which studies I show them. Well, they might believe me once their dumb asses hear about it on Adam Ruins Everything .

We're overdue for some big ones here in SoCal.

True. Most of the brush in my town burned up last summer, it's just about back to normal with all the extra growth.

Ugh I know; my mom doesn't care about what any scientific study says either. Ancient, poorly researched books at the library about how gluten causes autism are WAY more trustworthy!!! If it's in a gimmicky book or TV show it is 100% true. Clearly the solution here is to print out a glossy newsletter with a little picture of Dr. Oz's (or some other popular guru) head on it so that it's more trustworthy for them. And chiropractors terrify me, personally.
