Now she can get out no problem so luckily she doesn't need time outs but very infrequently.. :) Hee hee hee The hat represents our State college football team -- The Nebraska Cornhuskers (ughhhh).. :) Labs ~~ Yep, it was really funny..  She would huff and puff and get all kinds of bent out of shape and annoyed but she would remain in the tub.  She was apparently used to getting her way.  She would fight with the other dogs and bite the humans if she didn’t get her way.  She was five years old when she came to us and in that short life had been turned in to the Denver Dumb Friends League three times (a kill shelter) before rescue got her.

I have before and after pictures posted at the link below (she's 14 pounds in the one pic which is not ideal but much better then 29).  http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-feeding-tips/dog-lose-weight/ Yah, she looked like she had eaten two soccer balls — seriously!!!  It was easy to discipline her (she liked to fight with my dogs — we ended up adopting her by the way).  I would put her in the bath tub for time outs and she couldn’t get out :) ….  Worked like a charm.  She quit starting fights after only several months and about 10 time outs…  Hee hee hee  She couldn’t get up on the furniture either…

Some cats can thrive off 2 star foods, and others have horrible reactions. Mike Sagmans review on the food is based entirely on the ingredients.. Having ground whole corn as the first ingredient, well.. There's your reason why this food is only rated two stars..  I guess your cats aren't going to die from eating if for 6 months, but it probably will do more harm than good..  Try watching Dr. Karen Becker's (licensed veterinarian) video on how to choose pet food and what to look for in the ingredients.. According to her, corn is what NOT to look for.. I know you can't base this solely off what one veterinarian says, but to me, she seems very well educated and after watching most of her videos I think we can all depend on her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTWHxvjI_as&feature=player_embedded  Food depends solely on how the animal reacts to it.
