A Message For Your Health From Doctor Chico Chihuahua

Kids, this ice cream is howlin' good but be kind to your puppies by not feeding it to them. This is a special treat that's OK for kids once in a great while but not for puppies.

And remember, YOU shouldn't eat more than 1/2 cup of it yourself. Then you need to go outside and run and play with your puppy for at least an hour.
