[nagdu] Dog food

[Janice Toothman]

Mark,
Destiny is a golden lab/flat coat mix. Thankfully she has not gotten 
into anything during the night now that she is not on tie down. Although 
I try to keep socks an small items off the floor, I find a sock with 
several large holes in it that she had chewed through when I had 
accidentally tucked them in my shoes on the floor instead of putting 
them away. She is a good worker and enjoys her textured nylabones but 
her parking behavior is a problem and a constantly have to work on her.
