    half raw?

    Wondering if anyone feeds a raw meal once per day and kibble once per day? Understand that kibble and raw don't mix at a single meal b/c of differing digestive requirements but read that some have success with one of each per day . Thanks in advance for any constructive feedback. Barry

    Trout Fishing with Lewis & Token (photo heavy)

    Sunday last week was 25 degrees, sunny and March 2nd which means early trout season in our area. Lewis and Token went fishing with me. Am sure some of the trout thought they were being invaded by clumsy bears when the dogs swam through the deep pools, waded through the riffles and otherwise...
