[nagdu] Dog food

[Janice Toothman]

Hi Mark,
Destiny had also chewed through her tiedown in the first month that I 
was home from GDF.  It was similar to what you described a steel cord 
that was plastic coated that had a loop on one end and the other end had 
a "carabiner" to attach the dog's collar to the tie down (I'm having a 
mental block about what that  endpiece is called).  I decided to not use 
the tie down at night and it has not been a problem except for those few 
times when she's been sick.  I found out the hard way by stepping in her 
vomit.  Luckily that hasn't happened for several years since she's been 
on medication for her inflammatory bowel disease.
Janice and Destiny
