Thanks so much Crossfire. I didn't give it to them again tonight (the pumpkin) as I wasn't sure about how much and how often, so I'm glad I didn't. We'll wait a day, then, as they did eat all of it.

Another question... Missie has gained significant weight since we switched to Canidae (she went from 8/8 and a half to 11 lbs. when weighed yesterday!). What does this mean (is it too many calories?) and what should I do about it? She does need to exercise more, but both of us (and Ollie) are very intolerant of the cold, so it's only going to get more difficult now that it's getting chilly outside. Should I consider changing to a lower calorie brand of food?
