I’m all for caring for our animals like Family, but uh not at the expensive of family? Equal fine but above?

Trust me, you do not want the chihuahua eating the stale chips and drinking the expired soda! Those things are almost-supernatural farters!

Your mother sounds like one of those people that is extremely unpleasant to be around.

actually, at least in the US, expiration dates are more of suggestion. I have personally had numerous things 2, 3 sometimes 5 years after their expiration date. I however can't condone spending all of the grocery money on organic food. I personally have rats, so feeding them is like feeding myself but I have also learned you can save a bit if you make your own dog food. That's because you can use alot of human food like unseasoned meats and veggies to make the food and either save the rest to make more or make dinner for the night.

The chihuahua's food would be better for you than expired soda and stale chips. Plus, it doesn't taste that bad.
