Bad morning for Whipper.
She was doing her usual patrolling in front, as my wife was walking to the mailbox (1/3mile from the house), clearing the way of cows/hogs/snakes. She had to stop and nudge a copperhead out of the road and got struck on the snout. She had a very lopsided face this morning but already looking better this afternoon. I could see the two fang puncture marks on her upper lip, poor puppy. We are feeding her soft can food for a few days.
Ed a new study came out on August 1 reenforcing our correct decision to go plant based.

Conclusions and Relevance High animal protein intake was positively associated with mortality and high plant protein intake was inversely associated with mortality, especially among individuals with at least 1 lifestyle risk factor. Substitution of plant protein for animal protein, especially that from processed red meat, was associated with lower mortality, suggesting the importance of protein source.
