Archie..... you have the ability to make me laugh! My cat is staring at me because I just shot water across the room. You need to put a warning label on some of your posts. My husband and I had a Doberman.... she could clear the room! I swear there were times when I could almost see the green fog!

We will never know the reason for our beloved pets departures.... all we can do is the best we can and always love them.


LOL!! I know, my mind is a strange animal, but why aren't we able to conjure up something like that in line at the convenience store when we're stuck behind "lottery man" and just want to pay for a cup of coffee?

I would not think yogurt would be harmful to a cat or even a puppy in moderation.

But peach? Really, your kitty has good taste in food.

You know, humans have about 9000 taste buds... a cats, well they have only 470... that is why they will eat the same foods without getting bored. But, like us, they have cravings for certain foods. Yes, dogs are better blessed, they have over 1500 taste buds.

I've been kinda wondering about this. I've read the label on our vet recommended dog food, (Iams) and it does have grain in it. We used a high quality, and expensive grain free food for a long time, and the dogs seemed to do well on it, but they were all older, and are no longer with us. I wonder if they went early because of it. We'll never know, but the youngest that has been sent to the rainbow bridge was 14.

We don't even buy treats anymore because of the junk in them. Our guy/gal get carrots, broccoli, and apples for treats, and we all get along. We've backed off of the broccoli quite a bit because the bulldog is a gas bag. He can make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and regret it when you peel it loose!

If you have switched your dog's food to "grain free" keep an eye on your dog.... there is an increased danger of enlarged heart and vitamin deficiency. If your dog has lost interest, loosing weight, seem short of breath, urinating frequently, and are "slobbering" more than usual.... take them to their vet immediately. If you have a cat, although it is not yet in the news.... grain free is not healthy for them either.


I have a close friend who switched to grain free two years ago and found that none of her b***hes came in season and could be bred, after two years without any pregnant b***hes she went back to ProPlan and now has a litter that is 5 weeks old out of one of her Grand Champions, and another champion b***h that is pregnant. She has sent out the warning to responsible breeders. Smart breeder that she is she donated 6 new 30 pound bags of Grain Free to a rescue organization. Maybe a few strays will not get pregnant this year.
If you have friends who are good breeders of dogs, please pass this along.

I'm a bit disappointed in our rescue dog - the thoroughbred icebox pointer. Last night she gobbled down some steamed broccoli and wanted more. Next thing you know she'll be demanding some of Michelle Obama's arugula.


We are training a dog now that prefers raw broccoli to any other reward for doing a good job in the show ring. And a friend of ours has a dog that gets so turned on by broccoli and just the word works as a reward. At one obedience trial the dog was not paying attention so our friend said "Broccoli, heal" rather than her name. She worked well and qualified for her title.

Don't know. She wouldn't make a sandwich for anybody, so I traded her in for a newer model.
