My girl friends mother Leaves her border/mix out side on a 9' chain 24/7 and get this my girl friend has been sneeking food to the poor dog
her mom says she don't want to feed her too much because she don't want to have to clean up all the poop
1/2 cup of food a day is what she feeds her
So we have been sneeking food and treats to her. I feel so bad for poor Becka.
I hope you uncle can get a "furreal" pet or stuffed animal instead.
