Good Morning Gin and Bill,

Thanks for making an introduction to the list.  You are providing me
an opportunity here to practice my list group etiquette. Everyone when
this post goes to the archives under my address as the designator it
shows by my addition to the title that I am welcoming a new member and am
going to council on diet.  I did delete most of Gin message as I
will comment on only diet here <g> after this post goes to the
archives go see:

On diet:  Gin I am glad you are becoming aware that
what we as a society has advocated as appropriate foods to feed dogs may
be all wrong.  There are several of us on this list who can provide
you some counseling on what we believe is the appropriate way to feed
dogs, however I can not stress enough how important it is to educate
yourself via books written by experts.  The program I have found to
be the easiest to follow, is Bones And Raw Food (BARF):.  This
program is detailed by Dr. Ian Billinghurst DVM of Australia and you can
find a link to his web site on my site (Big Page Of Links)
http://www.briergoldens.com/links.htm 
under the heading Raw Feeding ect...  You can order Dr. B's books as
well from this site.  I recommend that you order both books but read
Give Your Dog A Bone (GYDAB) first, as does Dr. B stress you *need* to
read this book first or you will not have a clear understanding of the
principals. Book 2, Grow Your Pup's With Bones (GYPWB) title is a bit
deceptive but well worth the read.  It acts here as a reference
guide where GYDAB spells out the program or programme depending on where
you learned "English". 

Again, welcome and we look forward to seeing you on the 21st!

Gina
