Fred,
No Chinese toys. Just a couple that I got from the AKC for my other dogs who played with them for years. I don't know what caused the intestine to thicken, but he changed their diet from what I had fed my dogs for years and got from him to another type of food and they love it but just seem to want to eat all the time now. And Sweetheart is already over weight. Ken seems to think it could have been an allergy to the food, but if it was, then it had to be some of the darn treats that I got for them as it started just after I got a bag of those treats up at a big pet store. I went back and looked at them and they were made in China so I threw them in the garbage. Just got home and am about to pass out. I had a two hour coma type thing two days ago and am still not over it enough to do much. Don't remember anything at all except coming out of it and spending an hour trying to remember my name and where I was. It is raining lightly, but more than I want to be out in so I will spend the day trying to get my head to stop spinning.
