Okay, first of all....the rumors are untrue; I AM alive! *grin* Still trying to win tickets to Backstreet Boys concert here so I'm barely online. (Only one phone line you see)

Now to the problem...I know that Hatfield's book recommends a veggie dog food as a protein source. I found one! I'm going to post the info on it from their website. I'd like to solicit opinions from you BEFORE I actually use it ;o) BTW not only is it free of animal protein there are also no artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, sugars, dairy products or corn. Sounds delish, huh? LOL Here's the info:
