You are totally correct about a dog's need for calcium: I think the vet told me to stop using it is because Gypsy's kidneys are working at less than 50% and I usually can get a multi-vitamin pill down her. Maybe there's a problem with kidney stones?? I'll have to ask her.

She recommended a book Dr. Khalsa's Natural Dog; A Holistic Guide for Healthier Dogs which has lots of great info and recipes. Unfortunately, Gypsy will only eat 'em rarely, if at all. I finally understand the expression "stiff-necked", 'cause it fits Miss Gyps to a tee!

Yep, that's Missy too. She is the only dog I've known that will walk away from a dish of food, when she is obviously hungry. Although I've found that if I keep her food fresh and occasionally give her a can of plain chicken meat for variety, she'll eat it with a lot less drama involved.
