Thanks for this! My two pups are old girls, set in their ways, and are at the stage where they hate everything and everyone. I'm ok with it, because I do too. I will start using some of the advice here and your story on feeding pets when we eventually bring a new furbaby into our home. My son is 7 and he adores animals, so we will never be an animal free home. Thanks for all that you do! I know mine are a handfull and they're more well behaved than a lot I have seen.
