Where Does Vegan Baby Sky Get Her Protein?

Animal Person

How are her bones going to grow without cow's milk? I mention this because all too often people surrender their dogs--or even cats--once they have children.

Animal Person

Naturally, upon reading such words, my stomach turned and I immediately thought of making plans to be away from the house that day so I wouldn't have to see any of the festivities or try to negotiate walking the dogs around them.
