Re: Anyone here feed Loyall and River Run?

I ate live sushi a few weeks back, was amazing. First time I ever had sushi cut from a flapping fish. Dogs benefit from a good dose of bacteria in the gut. I am convinced. What you call sushi we call bait in these parts....fish should be battered and fried! :D I feed Loyall and so does my trainer.....
