Well, I'll BE!!! Ed you know that this isn't the greatest news to hear, but it could of been a whole lot worse, right? Diabetes is so workable and DJ will do just fine. How much does DJ weight?...

Taffy loved veggie's too Ed. I had no idea and after diabetes, we gave them for treats. Raw green beans were her fav. One year we had an abundant crop in our little garden. Taf was right beside me...

yeah I think most dogs like veggies. I was giving them mixed veggies but then i read that too much broccoli is not good for them so now i just give them green beans, carrots, and that sort of stuff....

There are a few dogs that look at a veggie and say No Way Jose! We want MEAT! LOL I'm sure you know to not give DJ carrots now because of the nat'l sugar in them. The rest of the veggie family is...

Hey Ed, I'm not feeling so alone anymore....didn't seem fair that I had to deal with diabetes for a 2nd time round either!!! Welcome to club!

Ed, if he's okay with getting blood, we get Buddy's from his lip. I have the lancelet set on 2 and usually get a good amount and he's never flinched. As long as he's alright with you being around his...
