Solid Gold bought by Purina?

Grasshoppers
Here I go again, grasshoppers seem to be the latest game and snack. Now, she won't leave them alone and eats them left and right (they are everywhere here, pretty hard to control it) Anything I should worry about with them. Freida just makes me laugh and then roll my eyes.

Orijen Senior
So I started Grey on Orijen Senior. Wow, what a potent smell when you open the bag. Good grief! Are all their varieties as smelly? Grey could care less. He eats turds (no matter what I do lol), so he's doesn't exactly have the most refined tastes.
