Hi Ruth,

Yes, when Toby gets older I may do the same.  Right now, his teeth are in
excellent shape and he doesn't need anything to help him chew.

hahaha I can picture the difference, ok that's neat.

hahahahahaha that's exactly what the vet said when I asked him :)  He laughed
out loud when I asked him if he could guess what they were mixed with, and said
that (g)

That's rough when you have deer around.  I know they cleaned out my daughter's
garden last year.. maybe if she'd put a salt lick somewhere away from the
garden that might have helped.  I've read that will help, as will netting
around the garden area.

Take care,
Janis
