[nagdu] Raw feeding

[Larry D. Keeler]

Aggreed, Tracy. For example, I don't follow a schedule for feeding Holly. 
Unless I'm somewhere else. Butt, she doesn't eat a lot and between her and 
Pez, my pet, I can leave a food dish out up to 3 days. I am well aware this 
doesn't work with all dogs or for all folks. I consider myself lucky I can 
do this. Also, I consider myself lucky that when I've changed food I haven't 
had any real issues. Sometimes Holly works gets really hungry and tosses up 
what she ate. but not often. I would never presume to tell folks how to feed 
or what to feed there dogs unless its actually dangerous to them.
