<DIV>First of all, I have a fat Basset, OH MY GOD, I am a poet, that
rhymed ! bwahaha </DIV>
<DIV>any ways, I agree on some points and disagree on others on Wens
post, first my Maggie has severe allergies and most if not all the diet or
reduced calorie foods on the market have ingredients that she CAN
NOT have, they are good foods , it's just that she is allergic to one or more of
the ingredients, and second, just because a basset is over weight,
does not mean that it OVER EATS ! there are medical issues
here , like thyroid and allergies, she has a compromised immune
system which does not allow her body to metabolically function like a healthy
dog ! just like some humans ! enough said </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ok there Morse, you sound like you be a real turd grazer
yummmmmm we like turds too but only bunny poo no human stuff dat
sounds yucky ! we use to have a basset that would do the same thing pick
up turds while walking usually cat, she got really sick a couple times and my
vet just gave me a bottle of Carafate and Flagyl to keep on hand wa la !
did the trick, but she was fast she could grab and swallow before I could
get it out of her mouth.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>it is raining here, hard and windy and cold so this is what I learned
today, DON'T stand in front of a mirror brushing your teeth and SNEEZE and
don't put mouthwash in your mouth and then decide to blow your nose. And
Don't put up your umbrella and run out the door because you can't see where the
hell you are going and run into the metal pole holding the awning up !</DIV>
<DIV>just really simple little life lessons that I thought I would
share, I just can't seem to get this multitasking down to a
science yet</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My Maggie eats California Natural chicken & rice, but IF I cook chicken
( boil it ) she will get diarrhea, her allergy test showed that she was
NOT allergic to chicken but chicken feathers !!!!! geez we dont eat the
fricking feathers moron !</DIV>
