Critique my recipe for replacement canned dog food.

My dogs are very picky and both enjoy Inukshuk Marine 26/16 mixed with a bit of canned dog food as a topper. But finding canned dog food lower in fat and no chicken is hard and getting expensive. Purina Pro Sensitive stomach is about my only option and is $40/case of 12 13oz cans. So making it is the best alternative. Both dogs are 75lbs and would receive a daily total of 2 1/3c kibble with 1/2c of the following mix:

  • 3lbs venison (this is wild, obtained by me and procced by me 99% fat free)
  • 15oz pumpkin
  • 1.5 c rice
  • 1.5 c oats
  • 1 tin (3.75oz) Sardines in water no salt
  • 10 oz shredded carrots

I'd open to suggestions. I'm planning on freezing these in 1/4c cubes to feed morning and night. My one dog can not have chicken or corn. Right now this mix would only cost me $15 (venison is free to me) so its much cheaper than canned. Should organ meat be added?

Lowes or Home Depot Gift card sales?

I have to purchase something for my home totaling $650.00 and I'm trying to purchase it with discounted gift cards. I see DG has lowes cards for 10% off and CVS has 20eb back on $100.00. Anyone else running a deal I'm not aware of right now?

where do I start/who should be contacted

I'm Located in NY and purchased equipment in Florida via an online auction platform. Platform is out of Nebraska, auction house is out of Illinois. The equipment I won was located in Florida and was listed as a 2025. When I received it and ran the vin, its a 2015 with double the hrs they advertised it as. The equipment was paid for via wire transfer. Where does the legal jurisdiction lie for the state crimes? Will I end up needing to get a lawyer in another state? What type of lawyer should I be looking for? I'm trying to compile of laws and regulations this might fall under to hopefully settle this out of court but want to find a lawyer as well incase they're not willing to settle. (Location: ?)

My pup is only 10 weeks old (GSD) and this is not my first dog. All of them I have crate trained but an issue is popping up with this one. I had made arrangements with someone who lives close to me to let the pup out while I'm at work (commute + shift time = 8hrs on the dot) 3 days a week, the other are wfh. well its not been a week and this person has backed out on me. I live in a rural part so finding a walker is not going to be that simple.

I have a camera on her while I'm away and like clock work she hold it for about 5 hrs and then pees. When I get home I don't punish her, just quietly take her out on a 20 min potty walk, hose the crate down, and spray it with enzyme cleaner. while that's drying, she gets rinsed down because she has sat or laid back down and I only have the tray in the crate. Then she eats her afternoon meal in the crate.

If I put down an absorbent matt (not a puppy pad, something with out scent) will this help or hurt the situation if its just while I'm gone for the 8 hrs? then take it away when she's around 18 -22 weeks?

My worry is this counter acting the point of not peeing in our sleeping/eating space and prolonging crate training? But is not using a pad getting her comfortable sitting/laying in her pee? this feels like a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation and I honesty don't know what the right decision is.

We currently have her crate divider in giving her enough space to stand, circle and lay down.

I had my windshield replaced Friday that had a long crack in it. Everything has been fine until this morning. When I accelerate and hit about 40mph this noise starts. Is it from the glass? Or something else?
This morning is colder than it had been since it was installed and it’s been raining since last night.
