<DIV>as the day comes up, im wondering about people food for Gus. he
never, ever has it. (he's 3 and i adopted him October 1) he will counter
surf as i prepare my dinner, but the minute i sit at the table, he goes to the
couch. as if to say,"oh, it's food for her"</DIV>
<DIV>but i wondered if i'm opening a pandora's box (and teaching him to beg) if
i give him a few bites on T-day. and if i do, what's good and not good for
him? on the other hand, if he gets none of it, he still won't know that
people food is an option for him. so i'm torn. i want him to have a
special day, as it will be for us, but wonder if i'm creating a monster?</DIV>
<DIV>drool to all in need and we wish you all a great holiday!</DIV>
<DIV>susan, loving slave to gus</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
