Hmm, looks pretty good is it artemis? I shouldn't admit this because I realize I have a problem, but I bought a bag of the fresh mix puppy yesterday at bark n bitches down the street. Now that I have all this food, I need some kind of system to actually feed it ha ha and probably stop myself from buying more!

I think it looks great! [

Yes it is Artemis. Someone in my dog club was talking about it and I had never heard about it. Didn't want to influence the analysis by stating the name up front.
