Hi Lynda"
i did'nt know you had show dogs! Your right about the brown rice it
constipates me even more i can not tolerate a high fiber diet it really
screws me up!
I know your worried about traveling but its amazing usually its not as
bad i think its because our little minds are pre-occupied or something
anyhow i really hope everything works out relax enjoy your trip! And
good luck i'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
I will keep in my thoughts and prays that you will have a safe trip and
WIN LOL !!! OHHH don't forget the choclate LOL!
Love Colette
