    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.

    Morning all. :D
    Wonder if any of you have tried CSJ dog food http://www.csjk9.com/
    I have a hearing dog and was recommended this feed by my dogs trainer. Have found out many hearing dog owners and trainers use this now. It is about half the price of most other dog foods. If you go on the website, you can request some free samples and they are a generous size. They ask you if you have any feeding problems e.g. dog overweight, sensitive etc and send you samples that are appropriate.

    HTH :D

    I used this for my 3. The 2 labs were happy on it, but My Newf never liked it. It was nutritionally as good as the big brands and much cheaper.

    In other news, Gala has tracked via TCB but Caesar hasn't yet.

    I see the missing Easter egg has been found! Is it worth a punt guys? what do you reckon?

    A quick Google reveals:

    It means "my mistake" and was first heard around 1970.



    "The first citation in print is C. Wielgus and A. Wolff’s, ’Back-in-your-face Guide to Pick-up Basketball’, 1986: ’My bad, an expression of contrition uttered after making a bad pass or missing an opponent.’"
    .
    "The phrase ’My bad’ came into widespread popular use in the mid to late-1990s in the USA via the 1995 movie “Clueless”. This starred Alicia Silverstone and contains what seems to have been the first use of the phrase in the mainstream media: "Cher swerves - to avoid killing a person on a bicycle. Cher: Whoops, my bad."

    We use it in the Midlands as a way to say oops sorry, my fault. But then again we use 'it's all gravy' to mean it's all good :rotfl:
    :D Coupons = the only money we can legally print for ourselves:D

    :j A coupon for a free item that is price glitched in Mr T's to be cheaper than Sada for an apg = HEAVEN :j
