If you can not have your dog in your backyard for a weekend, I recommend sprinkling diatomaceous earth in your backyard. It's harmful if your dogs (or you) breath it in as it will leave small scratches on your lungs. However, once it's settled into the grass, it won't harm anything warm blooded. Google it's benefits.
It has silica and that's why, right?
DE is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. Depending on the granularity, this powder can have an abrasive feel, similar to pumice powder.
That's from wiki. I've always described it as ground-up seashells. I buy the food grade, so if it's ingested by mammals, nothing will happen other than expel any parasites. Read some reviews on Amazon, some are horrifyingly disturbing.
As far as ticks and other insects, it will stick to it's exoskeleton and dry it out and it will die from dehydration.

Catholic guilt? The thought & fear of "replacing" the old dogs with something new would be hard on me too. Even though, it's not the case, sometimes the thoughts and feel of the situation is troublesome enough.
I'm a person that finds change very difficult, so I get it OP.

I'd be pissed if I won a game and then the prize went to the soon-to-be-mom. We're already giving you tons of gift for popping out a kid. (But that's me, I just don't get wedding & baby showers).
I've been looking into the various styles of the instant pot and can't decide if these little differences matter. I'm looking at the Duo version and debating the 6qt ENW vs the 5qt. It is only DH and I, so I'm thinking the 5qt would be big enough for our meals. The other difference between these 2 is the 5qt goes to 10.2psi whereas the 6qt goes to 11.6psi. For those that have used the instant pot, do you think there is a big enough difference in the pressure and size to justify the 6qt? I ask because Wal-Mart is now pairing the 5qt with the Ninja for $10 less than the 6qt alone. Thanks for your help!
From most every interview I've heard from people who've worked with Trump (celebs, insiders), they think he's doing this for votes--doesn't actually believe any of it and will be completely different in office (Democratic roots).
I'm still not voting for him, but makes me sleep better at night.
No, dude. I don't give half a rat's ass what his barber's sister thinks he'll do in office. Trump is an underinformed, egomaniacal blowhard who acts and speaks almost exclusively without thinking. This isn't some mild right pandering for primary purposes that will be followed by a typical move to the middle. No.
He would be an abject nightmare as president, which is why we all need to do whatever we can to make it not happen.
I disagree. Everything he says is calculated and he knows exactly what will appeal to the white trash of 'Murica.
I completely agree that he is underinformed and egomaniacal blowhard. I believe what he says is careless and short-minded as he is a representative of the US to foreign countries.
I don't think he would create a Muslim registry or a wall along the Mexican border--but his words will have consequences.

I got it this afternoon and I like it, especially for the price. It's no frills but it's nice leather and a good size for me to toss some snacks and a few diapers into. The bag itself isn't heavy so it's perfect. It's a bit shinier than I expected but it's definitely real leather (at least, it feels and smells like it)
I carry and love the Kate Spade Charles Street Kensington, but it looks like it's temporarily not for sale anywhere (it comes and goes in different colors).
The Rebecca Minkoff MAB could work - it's on sale for less than your budget.

Everything above plus a few other things:
-I work tradeshows and have other meetings with clients/prospectives that I need to stay in touch with my phone for work purposes during these events and I found it more socially acceptable to glance at my watch rather than my phone.
-Above with friends and family--my job is important to me to stay in touch and watch is easier to access if I should answer texts or not.

No. Never.
I have 3 beagles and I used to prop the back door open so they could go in and out during the spring/summer when I work from home. (I have a fenced in backyard).
One day I found a back of an animal covered in maggots stashed in the dog bed.

Just remember that 190 calories over at the end of a week with so many other deficits, you'll still lose. Stay positive! I would say keep using it consistently for 1-2 weeks and if you don't lose, then change strategy.
It took me a while to make MFP work with Primal (easy Paleo) diet. But I lost a lot of weight.. (and managed to slowly gain back over the last 1.5 years (plus broken foot).
