The (Re)Veganizing of the Greyhounds

Animal Person

I have fed Charles Hobson Booger, III and Violet Rays every type of diet from raw (as in, turkey necks and chicken backs) to pre-made raw (comes in patties with greens and bones and supplements in it), to homemade vegan to Evolution to pre-made vegan ingredients to a combo.

On Taxes, Veganism and "Pets"

Animal Person

One of those is vet bills, which of course aren't deductible, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't know the total.
