[NAGDU] Fasting

[The Pawpower Pack]

Soleil has had more than her share of surgeries of late so we have fasted quite a bit.  I do notice it makes her even more interested in food on the ground etc.  Also she will vomit stomach acid if she goes too long without eating.  
We have never done it for health reasons just for medical ones.
