[nagdu] Fiber

[Lisa Belville]

Another way to give dogs fiber is frozen green beans.

I just plop a handful in Katy's bowl along with her food and she's a happy 
camper.

Plus, it's easier than defrosting pumpkin.  <grins>

I do agree with Ben's good taste, though, except I'd have to have some 
cinnamon and nut meg thrown in with it.
