[NAGDU] A Thanksgiving topic for discussion

[Cindy Ray]

I don’t gie special extra treats to my dogs. They aren’t really aware of what the day is. Most of mine have had a fat tendency, so I was careful about it.  I prefer to have my dogs remain expecting only what they usually get.

Now, as to the topic for discussion, I would like to hear pros and cons, do's and don'ts, concerning the topic of giving your guide dog a special extra treat on thanksgiving. Whether this is a dog treat, a sweet potato, a dog breath treat, or turkey from Thanksgiving dinner, let's have some positive discussions as to why people do and don't, or whether people do or don't do this.

Instead, I might give him an extra sweet potato treat that I know is fine for his stomach and digestive system. Let's remember, positive discussions and no right or wrong answers here based on philosophy or beliefs.
