heh!

The only thing I stocked up on for Y2K was cat and dog food.
Stored 30 days worth!

We have 2 weeks worth right now just in case of flash flooding.

Hey, I did one better. Besides my y2k stores I stocked up on a couple
of cats and one dog. I know for a fact cats make nice Chinese chicken
balls (local restaurant charge and found guilty) but I'm not sure how to
cook dog. At any rate I want one of those large meaty bread not one of
those Taco Bell dogs We had a nice aquarium of pond fish going too.
DH wasn't too excited about turning the pool into a trout farm. DH
actually turned a couple of pond fish into fishicles. I can't believe
it. I hear all are excellent food iffn'n ya be hungry enough

I'm going to give this one a pass thanks... ;-)
Growing your own fish is one thing, but predator IMHO tastes disgusting.
Plus, I really could not ever bring myself to eat cat or dog.

I just couldn't.

I have ducks, emus and chickens. THOSE I could eat...

All except for Pauli:

I also have pigeons which are tasty and I do harvest squabs from time to
time. The nice thing about pigeons is that they free range so are cheap
to feed.

And there are plenty of squirrels and they are delicious.
BB guns are cheap to feed.

Cheers!
