I set great store by the opinions and advice offered on this board, and I really do listen. The other day I was driving home, and right around the corner from my house I saw a neighbor walking an adorable yorkie. Of course, I pulled over to the side and got out and introduced myself and started in on the yorkie talk. The subject got around to treats, and the lady told me she gives Houston those "greeny" things, and I almost had a stroke.

I told her what you guys said and she said she was going home and throw them away. I told her about the Kongs and fillers, and the CET chews, and the nyla bones instead.

I took Mika over for a play date with Houston, and I should have taped it for you guys. She called later to say that Houston was fairly depressed that Mika left, so we will have to go over often. They wore each other out and slept rather well, the exercise was good for them both.
