and feed all the other critters as well...........cats, dogs, deer, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, possums, weasels, mink, fox, coyote, wisconsin badgers (lol), hmmm........bears too...........i am certain i am forgetting some critter.............
and btw, I'D probably be sleeping in the 'dog house' for doing so..........
