Lite diets??

It is me they are alluding to and it doesn't bother me at all.  I  KNOW myDOGS, I SEE my dogs nice coats, their energy, their GREAT  BLOOD WORK UP reports.  I SEE my vet checking heart, lungs, ears, eyes,  etc, looking at their full blood work-ups and telling me they are doing great.   I see 11 year old Buck who has been on Purian his entire life and never been to the vet for sickness, has very little gray, and just a touch of arthritis, who trots instead of walk except when on leash.  If in 11 years if Purina hasn't killed him, it isn't likely to.
 
True I do feed fresh caught and baked fish, canned fish, or boiled chicken parts or beef, carrots and green beans every day with their purina, But I only started that a couple of years ago.
 
One thing more--all the book learning, education,  being "well informed " doesnt mean a person is always right about everything, even if they think so (I have a brother-oin-law just like this) Neither does it make them tactful, well mannered, nor sensitive ot the feelings of others.
 
 
 
 

If you're right, then I feel horrible for participating in their game.

Jessiesmom ,Lori is absolutely NOT right! I started this thread for the purpose stated in my first post.There is NO alterior motive or tagteaming going on,that is not my style.I am an individual and would very much appreciate it if i could be treated as one instead of part of a devious duo!

People ganging up on others on message boards and tagteaming is one of my biggest pet peeves,and when i see it happening i will always say something or pm the people doing it,isnt that right sooner and lazlowe[]. Lori i am really surprised and upset that you have dumped me into  your own category,i would have hoped you knew me better than that! [&:] I would be the last person who would ssay something with some other underlying motive.I picked that food because it has been mentioned here before,and  i honestly cant for the life of me see how it could sustain a dog.Ofcourse Sandra you're feeding other fresh foods which will go along way in maintaining good health,altho i wonder why, if purina is doing your dogs so much good you feel the need to add extra's??

Also this is exactly the reason why i didnt want to name the food,as i knew people wouldnt give their truthful opinions knowing another member feeds it,and because of paranoid people who would think i had an alterior motive [&:]

It is me they are alluding to and it doesn't bother me at all.

 
Sandra, whether you are right in thinking that it is you or not, it does'nt matter because you are a big person to not let it bother you!  You see how healthy your dogs are and THAT is all that counts!

Ofcourse Sandra you're feeding other fresh foods which will go along way in maintaining good health,altho i wonder why, if purina is doing your dogs so much good you feel the need to add extra's??

 
So talk about stirring the pot!!!!
Personally,,,,I feed Eagle Pack which I am completely happy about also. I think its one of the best, maybe THE best for my breed. But I also feed extra meat and veggies and supplements.NOT because I think MY food isn't good enough but because NO ONE FOOD is good enough!

altho i wonder why, if purina is doing your dogs so much good you feel the need to add extra's??

Christine---Thank you for that because you just confirmed what I already knew.  I did think you were better than this, but I guess you've been speaking with Sharon a little too much. 

Second--Regardless of what kibble is being fed, it's still processed and as we've discussed many, many times here, adding in FRESH meat and veggies is always good.

I started feeding fish occasionly years ago when I had extra fish simply because I  knew my Irish Setter would  would enjoy it and I knew fish was good for him.  I also gave him the fresh veggies he liked as this was a real treat to him and did no harm.
 
As for now, my goldens love fish especially (more than other meat) and they also enjoy the beans and carrots.  It is a treat to them and it does no harm.  It has nothing to do with what food I feed them and if I were feeding the food that had was absolutely proven to be the best that could be bought--I would still give them their fish, beef, chicken,  and carrots & green beans every night simply because they enljoy it so much.
 
 

So talk about stirring the pot!!!!

Dyan,sorry,but i am not going to grant your suggestion.I dont have the strength of heart to be a pot stirrer and start sh*t .I hate that feeling when your logging on after saying something  controversial that you know alot of other people are going to react negatively to,I get butterflies and heart thumps,the lot!Which is why i never intentionally say something for the sole purpose of riling people up! I cant help if others think i do stuff like that,but i know i dont,i dont have to deal with those aforementioned feelings because i never set out to hurt people or start an uproar etc etc.

However, what i will do is always be honest and stay true to myself,some people may not like that,or like what i have to say,but i cant help that,i cant and wont change who i am to please a bunch of people who i dont really know anyway.I live in a whole other country to you guys,Americans and Australians are worlds apart,i will never meet any of you,we will never be friends in the true sense of the word. As it is there are loads of things i would love to say,but i wont because i know it will upset people,other things may or may not upset certain people,some have thicker skins than others,it's hard to predict,some things said dont even get a mention while other little pointless stuff creates an uproar,sometimes i cant keep up!

I'm not really sure why i have bothered to write all of this because people have their minds firmly made up,if nothing else,i feel better []

Was anyone addressing you Dyan ?? Why is it you and Kelly feel you need to comment on things that DO NOT CONCERN YOU ?

It means the person who it was DIRECTED to, knows what it means. That's the only person that NEEDS to know what it means.

WTH? I haven't even posted in this thread. What CONCERNS me is that you, your groupie and your combined attitudes are insulting people that come here for advice and civilized conversation.

,isnt that right sooner and lazlowe

Please leave me out of this one......

I just was unsure of what MYOP's quote meant, I did not understand the context of it.

Thanks

your groupie and your combined attitudes are insulting people that come here for advice and civilized conversation.

Watch it sooner!You're bordering on the ridiculous and are doing the exact thing you are so opposed to! Belittling people and making personal attacks![:@]

How'd you know I was talking about you? []

Watch what? Is that some kind of immature internet threat?

myorgancipets, I would really like to know who made you the Queen of Dog Food Knowledge on this board.  You go around making very nasty remarks to people. You tell us our dogs can't be healthy because of what we feed them..  You have never seen  them, you have never seen their medical records nor talked to our vets..  So how could you possibly know what "horrible condition" our dogs are in.  We have never seen your so how do we know they are as healthy as you say?  Nobody tells you your dogs can't be healthy because they eat one top brand over another.
 
You say people that don't agree with the STUDIES you like are uneducated and un-informed and have their heads in the sand  Well,  I think that when good manners and tact was passed out, you must have been behind the barn.
 
By the way, Dyan has every bit as much right to say what she wants to as you do.

We all do what works for our dogs.  I actually commend Sandra for having the guts to admit that she feeds Purina.  Not a popular food around here, with good reason, but then, it WORKS for her dogs and that's what counts.  Would a higher priced, higher quality food work as well or better?  Perhaps.  But there have been issues in the past, so if it ain't broke, why fix it?  At least Sandras dogs EAT what they are given.

It means the person who it was DIRECTED to, knows what it means. That's the only person that NEEDS to know what it means.

 
Why was that type of comment directed at anyone??  It was wrong, but you don't see that. 
 
And, again, completely confirms that you BOTH were well aware of what you were doing in starting this thread.
