Interesting and food for future thought.

But right now ~ I'm going with . . . if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Don't feel bad I did the same thing with my first yorkie Ichabob and I really believe I was the cause of him being a diabetic at such a young age, with all the high fat treats and good food.
