Techies: #Google and #Facebook don't get as much out of #linking to your #stories as you seem to think. If you make them #pay to #link to you, they're just gonna stop linking to you.

As many know, Skye has had 3 corneal ulcers in the last month, including one bad one. The vets keep asking me what has changed. Honestly, there is only one thing.
The last 2 bags of Oxbow Orchard grass has been filled with these pieces I’m now picking out ⬇️. She has had the soft Oxbow grass all her life.
I mentioned to the vet tech. She said “oh! I just had an email Oxbow has come out with a line of soft, handpicked hay. You could try that!” I can’t help but think the timing is interesting..
