I'm ready to boil a chicken!  Years ago, before kids, my husband and I fed our samoyed only Science Diet...no table food, because that's what all the advice was then (she lived to be 12, but with diabetes). I find it funny that now, you're supposed to feed dogs veggies, rice and meat. Geeze, I should just pull up another chair at our table. I relaxed with our Westie, as I figured let him enjoy life more...give him the "healthy" scraps off our plates (on top of his dry dog food), such as lean meat, rice, veggies, etc... I think I may do the same with my Yorkie baby, as long as it's the healthy stuff. She doesn't eat much anyway!  I make a mean chicken and rice!
