I know that technically they are not potatoes. Not my question. Can
I feed the dogs yams instead of sweet potatoes, as Em suggests? I ask
because someone (besides Em) said they are hard...and whatever I see in
the stores doesn't look "gnawable" to me...just edible. I don't really
like yams/sweets except prepared in a very few ways.........
