For breakfast, the trio had goat trachea and esophagus.
We were doing our normal Sunday morning routine of drinking coffee and watching Sunday Morning when there was a knock on the door. It was our awesome neighbors from across the street, and they brought presents, for humans and dogs!
Homemade dog cookies in a cute tin.
One of the human gifts was an assortment of K-cups in a glass jar.
While out running errands, I hit up Pet Supplies Plus. They issued an email coupon for free Blue Buffalo treats with a BB dog or cat food purchase, no minimum specified. I bought a can of BB Wilderness, and scored a free $7 bag of treats.
While I feed raw, I don't have a problem giving non raw treats.
While there, I remembered I had a couple other PSP coupons I had received at the Indy Dog Expo. I used them and got a free Jumbo Greenie, which I will give to Bruce, and a free large tennis ball.
I spent $2.50 for $15 worth of goods.
Being a weekend, I spent time prepping dog food. I had bought a 10 lb bag of chicken leg quarters earlier this week. I regularly buy these, as they are a staple bone-in item, and cheap at $5.90 per bag. If these are the only bone-in item I feed, a bag will last about a week.
This bag conveniently contained nine quarters, which I divided up three to a bag, then placed in the freezer.
I made up a batch of Seameal meatballs today. I used some ground turkey that had been purchased for humans, that I thawed, did not use that night, and refroze for the dogs.
I put 10 tbsp Seameal in a bowl with the ground meat, add a bit of water, and then mix the heck out of it with my hands to evenly distribute it. Onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and into the freezer they go.
This morning, I pulled one of the dear legs I was given out of the freezer. I wanted to investigate it, look at the bone density, and decide what the plan is with the four of them. This afternoon, I pulled some beef hearts out to take care of in the morning.
The venison leg, thawed and unwrapped.
I cut as much meat off the bones as I could, netting nearly three lbs of meat. It broke down into three bones.
The back two bones I feel safe feeding. With the other legs, I will leave the meat on, and disjoint them. I will give Neeko the portion with the denser bone, as I have no problems taking food away from her.
She eats slowly, and is the only one who has since if I make their food around them. I suspect it's because we've had her since she was a puppy, and she has never been hungry. Both boys have some food issues. I realize not all rescues do.
Once the Seameal meatballs had frozen, I bagged them. I then reused to parchment lined cookie sheet to individually freeze some chicken livers. I've never fed chicken livers, and I honestly don't know why.
I was at the grocery today, so I bought two tubs of them. I will do the other tub tomorrow. I will probably go to Saraga, a nearby ethnic market, for some "other" organ as well.
For dinner tonight, they all had beef heart, lamb kidney, an egg, and some cottage cheese that expired two days ago.
I just snapped this of my sleeping beauties. The snow from the other day melted some, so there's mud on the couch and floor.
