h2304, Oh my...I had to laugh at that when I read your post
I have to say that I have seen the dogs that get top notch foods, Vet exams on a regular basis etc have short lived lives...and then I see these people who just feed what ever is on sale and vaccinate once in the dogs life...and these dogs live forever. We could learn some thing from these people. For instance, over vaccinating = bad...shorten lifespan...?
Feeding only kibble foods = bad...shorten lifespan....?
doting on the dog and making it feel unhealthy, when a redneck would just say...'get up and get to it fido"....haha
