BECAUSE I WAS AN ONLY CHILD, MY pets were my playmates. Now I have five dogs: Taco the Chihuahua, Hermes the Poodle (both in photo), Spicy the Shih Tzu, Coco the Mini-Pinscher and Will-He the Dachshund. As much as possible, I give them only dog food. When I feel like spoiling them, I let them eat with us in the dining room. But I don?t give them chocolates, raisins, vetsin or anything with preservatives. I also take them to the vet for checkups and shots. Spicy needs to go to the groomer for trims, too. I love them. They?re so makulit (hyperactive). Bayani San Diego Jr.
