Thanks! I think we shall go to petsmart later and investigate.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Trust my rage
Is this the thread where we had the IUD discussion? I think IUD sounds like a good option, and I am sort of leaning towards the one with no hormones (Paraguard, I think), but I read that it can cause heavier periods and I really don't need that.

According to my OB, Mirena (hormones) will more or less eliminate periods, and Paraguard (copper) will make them heavier. So I have a Mirena. The side effects are MUCH lower than what I remember from BC pills. (I have gained weight, but I attribute that more to the fact that I graze off my kids' plates when I'm clearing the table, and I've completely stopped exercising.)

Here's my real concern, I guess. I get PMS symptoms that are fairly emotion-oriented - I suck, I'm the stupidest, fattest, dumbest person in the world, whatever. But the upside to that is that right before I ovulate, I feel like I'm the smartest, sexiest, most awesome person ever. And those feelings I like. I'm hesitant to lose the bad and the good, but I'm thinking hormones might do that because I don't remember feeling that way when I was on the pill (which was 13 years ago and I was younger obviously and might now have been that in tune with my body).
eta: so I thought maybe the Paraguard would let me keep my hormonal mood swings, but I'm not sure a heavier period each month is worth that.

I'm in month 1 of my Mirena and I haven't really felt any side effects. I know it is still early in the process for me to provide a real run down but I'm happy with it so far.

Mirena is the bomb-diggity.
Although I suppose I should have mine removed, as I no longer need it, having convinced certain people that they needed to step up and take a small outpatient surgery for the team.

Oh, and as far as dog food goes, I am massively in favor of raw feeding. As your dog is small, Lee, you could even buy the frozen, pre-assembled raw.
My dogs being large, we go through a LOT of bird carcass.
