She commented on how lean Owen looked and asked me how much I fed him. I said we feed him 1 cup a day over two feedings. He is a year old and quite active as we are. She looked… Continue

Well Owen celebrated his first birthday about a month ago. We did hats and the whole shabang.. Owen has gotten so big and I have to admit I do miss the puppy in him. I can tell he wants to be a big boy and be tough.
