I got an old dog that is losing weight pretty fast. She is 16 and for the last 15 years she has been about 25-28 pounds, and she is currently sitting at like 12 pounds.

I have been alternating between hot dogs and bologna as she likes to eat them and doesn't fuss about it. Most wet dog foods will work for about a week, then she turns her nose up at it.

I've soaked her dry food to get the volume up for her, which worked for a bit but now she pretty much refuses to eat dry food for about two days then nibbles.

I get that older dogs tend to lose their appetite as they get close to the end, but I'd prefer she not pass away from starvation over old age. I do still tend to hold off from straight up sugar/carbs, but a random peanut butter sandwich scrap or three has been passed over to her more than once.

So I am looking for ideas for high calorie food which can be purchased easily and preferably on the cheap.

Why is it so hard?

It is MOST masculine to have hard emotionless sex with another man to avoid the estrogenisation of your penis

Advice I've given my wife and my kids. Never make plans with anyone to do anything that you aren't happy to do alone.

Dinner? I'll eat alone

Movie? I'll watch it alone

Wife isn't in the mood? I'll just lay in bed and beat it next to her.

Hiking trip? Alone in nature is great.

Worst case scenario you still get to go have fun. Middle case, next time that person asks about doing something you get to remind them about all the fun you had without them.

The Curse of Knowledge actually relates to educated people trying to communicate with people under the assumption that everyone knows as much as they do, forgetting that the average person might not be as educated

I agree in the sense that some dog breeds aren't necessary and are actively unhealthy for the animal and the breed should be allowed to die out removing the ability for people to be owners of those breeds, and therefore ownerless

"Oh yeah guys. We bombed a place so we could kill some people, but we accidentally killed some other people... again. Total mistake, we thought we learned the first 100 or so aid workers, but nothing could possibly have been done to avoid their mistake. Really though they were probably Palestinians in disguise, maybe" - Netanyahu probably

How dare they try to bring this to a larger market at exactly the same price as that other company without increasing the price.

Pretty sure the EU has done more for USA privacy on accident than our own government has done in general.

I think I got GTA5 for 5 bucks. I think I'll wait for GTA6 for 6 bucks

I'm sure the misogynist gym teacher with the emotional aptitude of a 15 year old who's partner has to drink themselves ready for the same missionary sex they've had for the past decade is a great teacher of sex-ed.
