I`m amazed at what some people feed their pets!
BIL, feeds his pork chop and chicken bones. I have to keep a close eye on my two, they want to steal them. Bud says he`s been feeding the dog these bones for years, and his dog eats carefully.


(When Bud leaves the room, I sneak the bones into the trash.)
