Oh, THAT'S the truth! Some dogs definitely do have bigger appetites than others
LOL. I guess it could be nothing, however, in my other thread (about the NB dog food) I was telling Ann (Wylie's Mom) about how
quickly Tatum gained weight on Orijen and she seemed to think that maybe there really is an underlying problem. Don't get me wrong - I don't WANT there to be...but if there is I certainly want to have it checked out and TRY to get it under control. I mean, people who see Tatum in person, when she is here at our house, just freak out at how she acts hungry all the time. She'd literally eat til she popped. As I said, she has a bigger appetite than my 20-25 pound dog, Peaches
It's just nuts. You are right though, Stedman isn't a big eater and never has been. He is also EXTREMELY picky. Man, do I have two totally opposite dogs or WHAT
LOL.
