I just cut out an article which I intend to show to my mother who can't seem to please her overweight,finicky eating dog. I thought it would be of some interest to the net. It is quoted from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan. 6th, 1986. Most dogs are overfed by overzealous owners, says Dr. Tom Willard, a pet food company official. Willard, who has a Ph.D. in animal nutrition, says owners often relate what they like with what they think a dog would like. "Dogs are creatures of habit and frequent diet or food changes can cause the dog to become a picky eater," he explains. "This encourages the owner to try different additives or supplements, which further complicate the problem... I guess what this would recommend is to pick a high quality dog food with great care and then stick with it, sales or no sales.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
