SO MAD RIGHT NOW
I live in an apartment complex that allows dogs and I just took my guy out to pee and someone let their freaking little man syndrome dog out without a leash and it ran straight at my dog and started attacking him! My dog is so sweet and loves other dogs and was just growling, but I had him up halfway in the air by his…

How Does Myfitnesspal Calculate BMR?
This semester I am taking a 300 level animal nutrition class. I am in the honors section so once a week we meet (6 students and our prof) and discuss research articles from dairy science, animal science, and/or journal of nutrition. While we don't specifically ONLY discuss human nutrition, much of it is applicable. A few…
