Burger,

I had the same experience with the last dog I had. For some reason pork chops made her throw it back up. The present dog I have, we don't feed from the table but I do add tuna fish juice from the can, and broths over her dry dog food from time to time. I absolutely don't feed her any manufactured dog food or treats that are made in China, or if it says "distributed in the U.S." which is another way of saying Made in China. We can't even trust China to sell us safe fish and human food, how can we trust them with our dog food?

One other point: I used to be a meat cutter. If anyone thinks our meat is perfectly safe because it's inspected they are naive. All our meat cannot be inspected. There's just no way. Additionally I've see fecal material on a side of beef more than once when it came to us from the meat packer. We just washed it off.

Oh and one more thing: The CDC says no worries about BSE as long as a meat saw doesn't cut into the spinal column. Huh? How in the heck can you quarter a beef without the cutting through the spinal column? What amazes me is how they got away with this stupid statement in a press conference. No one questioned them on it!

Sorry I guess I got off topic again.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
