Just like children who prefer take-out pizza to mom's home cooking, my dogs acted like that canned stuff was the best food in the world. Of course, that made it easy to hide the medicine in it!<br /><br />~ KristaKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002970043709820868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-47541999298678246742013-01-22T14:54:14.173-05:002013-01-22T14:54:14.173-05:00Love it!
