<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Shannon I have to ask, is the neighbor maliciously
giving the dogs food, trying to make them sick. Or does he like the hounds
and just can't resist giving them a treat. I have one neighbor that walks
the neighborhood and gives treats to all the dogs because she loves animals so
much. She doesn't think that some dogs might be allergic, have a sensitive
tummy or be on a diet. I have asked her not to give mine any treats because I am
trying to keep them trim to keep them healthy, and assure her that she is not
being mean by not giving them a cookie. I don't think that she gives
them as many now but I think that she still sneaks over from time to time and
gives them one. I have the same problem with Auntie Val that is the boys
doggie daycare wanting to give the the super large Milk Bones...those things are
like giving a dog a Big Mac with a chocolate shake. I tell her that they get
plenty of treats, and healthy ones at that and she is welcome to give them a
small piece of jerky that is always in their treat pantry, but please no more
Milk Bones. Or give them a small Milk bone and just break it into 2
pieces. They don't care that it is a smaller cookie or even better a piece of
jerkey...just that they are getting a treat. </FONT></DIV>
