    Default Hey Hey From NorCal

    Hi there!

    I don't have a dog (yet, soon to be proud adoptive mom to a yorkie!) but my kitty (who thinks he's a dog, lol) has been on raw for a year - just after a month after we aaaaaaaaaaaa6




    \\




    dopted him. (This was Odysseus's way of saying hello has he walked over my keyboard... knuckle head).

    I've been lurking (unregistered) for a while and am excited to start in as I haven't really found any negativity here to newbies and old members. Very refreshing! :)

    Can't wait to meet everyone!

    Hi there and welcome - I don't have a cat but from reading about them it seems dogs are a breeze to switch to raw in comparison. Very glad you are adopting :) - Yorkies are adorable. My neighbors have one.

    Hi and welcome. And, I'd also like to say thank you to you too for adopting.
    I didn't think I use to like Yorkies. That was until I met one that was just treated as a dog, not a handbag and I tell you what, that pup was a joy! So, one day, in the far future, I could now see myself owning one!
