[nagdu] flying, changes, and vet visit

[Hannah Chadwick]

Yeah, I'll start feeding her the recommended food tonight. I just wanted to
know what everyone else's thoughts are on this.
Otherwise, Princess is doing great and continues to amaze me everyday. She's
so aadorable! *grin* :)

If the vet recommends it, well that's what I would do!  Holly had some
issues when we got home but they only lasted a week or so.  Also, when we go
somewhere for the weekend, sometimes Holly wouldn't eat much.  Se4nce she
drinks, I don't worry about her because she scarfs when she gets home!

What do you all think?
