Thanks Susan.  I will definitely read these books.  I
DO want to know more than one side.  That way I can
make a decision that makes sense to me, and I'll have
a foundation of information that might explain
problems down the road -- and a way to solve them.

I think that must have been my biggest mistake so far.
 I was combining them in the same meal, and Teddy
seemed always to be a picky eater (he wasn't picky
when it was only kibble).  I think he may have had a
pretty constant upset tummy, because now that I'm
feeding only raw/NO kibble he's his original foodHOG
self.  Oh, so much to learn.  I just wish it wasn't so
much trial-and-error.  Hence my desire to READ!

Thanks again,
