1. Dexter is my 2.5 year old pom. He is a cuddle bug, likes to dress up, ride in the car (he has a booster seat on our center console) and loves to be wherever we are.
2. Both. During Vet tech school I read lots of case studies, animal behavior books and vet med text books. I also used to have a huge collection of Berenstain Bears books when I was little.

@Eggs
Planck suggests eating real, whole foods, including pasture-raised beef and chicken, plus butter, cheese, and eggs from those animals. She also suggests that raw milk is as safe as pasteurized milk if it comes from a reputable supplier.
I use butter from grass-fed cows and imported from Ireland (imagine the price going forward with the crazy new tariffs).
She does a huge data/info dump throughout. Often, my eyes glazed over. 😵💫🙄 Overall A-.
pickAnyone who remotely cares about how food is sourced, grown, or made should read this book.
When I was growing up on a vegetable farm in Loudoun County, Virginia, we ate what I now call real food.

so-so3 Stars • "Good Energy" by Casey and Calley Means argues that metabolic health is key to preventing and reversing diseases. They link modern lifestyle issues to metabolic problems and offer a practical four-week plan to optimize health through diet, sleep, exercise, and stress management. It's a blend of science and actionable advice for better health.

pickMy concerns about the newer version of this book were unfounded. The sections about the concerning cosy relationships between industry and scientists / regulators in the UK is at the end of the book alongside a new section on what happened after the hardback was published.
Recommended read - non-judgmental, compassionate and wide ranging.
Revisiting this in the eBook form. It now has an additional chapter detailing what happened with Big Food after the initial hardback publication which I'm looking forward to.
I don't have the original hardback now but I'm sure the earlier chapters have quite a lot of structural change. Notably a large early section which detailed the problematic closeness of food researchers to industry funding.

@CarolynM Today was a beautiful day for a picnic! We got to solve clues & find parts of our picnic at different cafes and bakeries. We did a central city version so we got to spend time in parks and parts of the viaduct that we havent visited for a LONG time. And there were DONUTS 🙌 (i forgot to photograph the food but i found the donuts on insta - will be going back there again!) Thank you so much for the gift that we finally put to good use. 😘
