Lots of dogs seem to inhale their food. This increases the chances of choking, vomiting and bloat. Rescue dogs are more likely to be fast eaters, because many came from circumstances where they didn't know when or where their next meal would be, so it was important to eat as much as they could as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, there are some great tools available to help with this problem. Outward Hound makes several styles of slow feeder bowls that not only make your dog take their time while eating, but also provide mental exercise, because your dog will need to think about how to get all of the food out of the bowls' nooks and crannies. Our fosters love these bowls, here's what Ali had to say about hers:
"If your dog's a food inhaler, this is perfect... Adds minutes to feeding time while providing mental stimulation. Sometimes I think he looks forward to the bowl more than the food... dishwasher safe on the top rack. Great product for the price, we got the small one and it holds 2 cups. Its made eating a much more enjoyable experience and he doesn't even realize it because it's fun."
You can order these bowls on Amazon here:

GLB to OBJ is really useful for anyone working with 3D assets. I've found it makes converting models so much easier than trying to use command-line tools. The simplicity of the interface is a big plus.
I was just thinking about the article's point on the benefits of slowing down, and it made me consider how a tool like gesture synth online could be a practical way to start exploring that idea in my own routine. It seems like a good reminder that productivity isn't always about speed.
It's great that organizations like codex pets provide resources for people considering fostering or adopting dogs with special needs. Understanding the time and patience required can really help set expectations for potential foster families.
From what I have seen, money arriving from a foreign operator should not be treated like an ordinary transfer between friends. The first questions are where the funds came from, which game produced them, and whether Norwegian rules apply at all. Anyone wanting to check the details can read through https://pandefri.no/ma-man-skatte-av-gambling and compare it with their own situation. Keeping the game account, the bank statement and any currency conversion in one overview seems more useful than reacting later when the bank or the tax office asks. In Norway certain permitted games are normally exempt, while foreign commercial operators are assessed more strictly, and a single sum above 10 000 kroner may be taxable. Larger or more systematic activity can be judged…
I was just checking out the adoption process at Skin Editor Minecraft and read about how they focus on fostering first to get pets settled. It makes a lot of sense to help them adjust to home life before a permanent move. Really thoughtful approach for the dogs.
