Cats are obligate carnivores. They may eat other things, on occasion, but their intestinal tract is not adapted to processing what is consumed. They eat grass, for fiber perhaps but again no absorption or breakdown of the product occurs. Dogs on the other hand, in nature as a wolf, will eat almost nothing but prey, meat, but they are not obligate carnivores, they can eat other materials and their GI tract can handle it. They , dogs, enjoy any food except citrusy material.Our dogs love bread, apple, banana, melon, grapes, meat, potato, lettuce. The list goes on.

" Dogs are variously described in scholarly and other writings as carnivores[141][142] or omnivores.[3][143][144][145] Unlike obligate carnivores, such as the cat family with its shorter small intestine, dogs can adapt to a wide-ranging diet, and are not dependent on meat-specific protein nor a very high level of protein in order to fulfill their basic dietary requirements.

Question for the folks with cyclocross bikes: do you notice the higher bottom bracket? Looks like many models have 2" less Bob drop. I was looking at CX frames as a light tourer but worry that will push me way on top of the ride, especially looking at 60 cm frames. Do you guys notice any difference?

Turns out he also opened a bike store next to the tennis store. His retina was detached so he could no longer play tennis - he got into cycling. They charge $35 for a tune-up, $55 for racing. My spokes are corraded. Said it's from the humidity. The only think that might have caused the corrosion is when I stored my belongings in my cousin's garage including my bike. It's been indoors since '96. I have a 1990 Multi Track Trek 720.

Do you think I should get a tune-up vs. racing or should I leave well enough alone? He said he can remove the corrosion. He recommended the racing. What is the difference between the two tune-ups? I have no plans to do any century's ever.
