Do not tell God how big your storm is.

Because that is certainly not the case . My dogs are all so spoiled and they eat sometimes before we do. And you know why they do? Because they are just animals and God gave me the knowledge and the ability to provide for them. This all was over me providing my recipe to someone who couldn't get their chi to eat dry food. I raise my baby chi's and other breed pups on it and my nursing mom's and I don't have a problem switching them back to dry but then they are getting away from my cooking...lol ! Mare who is sitting here trying to type with 2 dachshunds on my lap and arms. They think my arms are pillows. Not fair I have lost 58 pounds.

Mare, I honestly do not think she was trying to criticize you personally or anything...although it does sound a little that way....I think she is just trying to express her opinion about stuff. Angela....like I said, I don't think you intend the tone that your email has taken, but just so we all know and can avoid any issues, can you please clarify if I am right or not??? That you were not trying to personally condemn Mare or anything.....? Marsha Do not tell God how big your storm is.

None absolutely none of my dogs have ever been penned. You need to get off your holier than thou attitude...you are taking to a dog rescue person...silly.

And I may get kicked off this group for stating my opinion but hey good men and women fought for my freedom of speech and I am gonna say what I feel. First how long have you been breeding Chihuahua's ? I'll answer that one from my side.....................over 30 YEARS Probably about your age from the sound of things. Have you never heard of the value of sweet potatoes in dogs? Have you never ever tried something like this? I was only trying to help. My dogs are in demand all over the United States. I have a waiting list for my Sporting Beagles. So before you criticize KNOW where you are coming from or at least do a little research.

Probably a half cup per chi. You can refrigerate the rest. I do it in zip loc bags so I can just take a serving out and microwave it. I have never had a dog refuse to eat it !

I HAVE A LITTER OF CHIHUAHUAS THAT WILL BE 7 WEEKS OLD WEDNESDAY. I HAVE ALREADY TRIED TO WEAN THEM. I HAVE TRIED MOISTENED PUPPY FOOD AND ALSO SOFT PUPPY FOOD WITH GRAVY FROM A POUCH. THEY TURN THEIR NOSES UP AT IT. MY LAST TWO LITTERS DID GREAT AND I HAD NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER GETTING THEM TO EAT. BUT THESE TWO BABIES SURE ARE STUBBORN! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO TO GET THESE LITTLE GUYS TO WANT TO START TO EAT? A NY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THE NEW OWNERS UNDERSTAND AND WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM AND KNOW THEY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE EATING WELL ON THEIR OWN. I AM GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE 8 WEEKS OLD OR OLDER BEFORE I LET THEM COME AND GET THEM. ------------------------------------------------------------ Need a vacation?
