    Thank you for posting those. I only skimmed them so far but saved the links for a more thorough reading.

    We already do the Vit. E, body fish oil, and joint supplement but I am willing to consider other things if they can help since we are at the senior level with both the girls. The longer they stay as they are, the better and they looooove their extras anyway.

     You're welcome but I can't take credit for the links; they were included in an article in the December newsletter on Monica Segal's site. She's been stressing the importance of giving dogs antioxidants for years.

    Janice, you've been reading those emails from Monica again! *grin* (you beat me to it)

    Johnny -- you know we DO have a "like" button??  Up at the top of a post next to the "Post Notification" button is a row of stars.  Click on how many stars you want to give something and it shows how good a thread is.

    Shows a good post and it doesn't crap up your computer with "cookies" in the process (there is a cookie because you can't rate a post more than once but not keeping track of what you do)
