Hi all,
My roommate and I watched the show and our only complaint was that it wasn't longer! 
We thought it was cute! 
I thought it was a great way to bond together. She would ask me questions like "How often does that really happen?" and "What would you have done in that situation?" 
As to the food thing. 
I give Jada a lot of "Human food" 
my philosophy? Jada likes to snatch things off the floor no matter how many times I correct her. It's just a trait that makes Jada, Jada, that I just deal with it. Sometimes I can stop her, sometimes she gets what she goes after. Fact is, if her stomach is used to things like French Fries, she won't necessarily get sick when she does pick one up off the floor. 

If you want to keep your dog the most healthy you can, you have to make the dogs food by hand. Dog foods have tons of preservatives in them that sometimes take away from the neutritional value. 
What is in homemade dog foods? 
Mostly rice, corn, potato and meat. some have other veggies, but those are most common. 
Dogs are natural carnivors though, and even the store bought dry foods have meat in them. 
And yes, I will unashamedly give my dog a bit of steak or hamburger once in a while. That is, if she is being well behaved under the table. Cafeterias are stressful for Jada, and I am in college, so I am there a lot. Why not a bigger reward than a milk bone if she is doing exceptionally well at something I know makes her nervous but I really can't avoid. 

hope all of you are well! 

Abby and Princess Jada!
