But yeah, I totally agree that sometimes there is a metabolism problem of some kind.
I think when you wrote the message before this one, it may have come off as you no longer believed in feeding commercial food, period...that may have been why Nancy was asking what happened. I too would fall off my chair if I heard you say that definitively bc then I would have to wonder how on earth you were going to cook for your whole crew  ! If you had to, you would - but you'd need a kitchen assistant, lol! |
Yes, that's how I took it, I knew she had more than three, but I thought she was saying only three had weight problems, but she would never feed any commercial foods to her dogs again and I thought maybe something happened when I was away, it's such a strong statement. Personally, I think home cooking is a great choice if you do it right and can buy safe supplements.
