I also, until mydivorce 15 years ago, have always had dogs. I'mconsidering getting one but have had to think aboutthe ethical/health issues for the dog if I get one. Icouldn't feed a dog it's natural diet if it includedmeat, so I am thinking that I may not be able to havea dog; alternatively, I could volunteer my timeworking with dogs at the shelter. At least the birdis vegan. I hope I can find a seed mix that is vegan.If I mix it myself, it may not be nutritionallybalanced; however, I already give him what I eatpretty often--whole grains, wild rice, semsameseeds(calcium), pumpkin seeds (vitamin A), etc. butI'm also still using the commercial stuff. He doeslook and act healthier. Oh well. Does anyone knowwhere one can get vegan pet food? Most of the sites Ifound have dog/cat but not bird. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Look Frag, dont knock it until you have tried it. My older cat Tigger has lovely smelling paws, while my younger more poncey little delicate flower - Dancer, has hardly any aroma. As for the water, we send most of it to England!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I used to like the smell of my budgie. Once when my daughter had looked after him when we went on holiday, she had some lilies in a vase. When we bought him home his feathers smelled of lilies for about three days. He used to like me sniffing him. I still miss him.
