My Dogs are More Popular than Me

In a way.  Neeko and Bruce were on TV with Les two years ago, being interviewed for a local television show about pets at the 2011 Mutt Strut. 







Find more videos like this on Pet Pals TV



That local show is Pet Pals TV, and it is actually syndicated to a few other states.  It is hosted by two popular local news personalities, and airs weekly on Saturday mornings, on our local CBS affiliate.  Pet Pals TV has a Facebook page, and recently posted a picture of a Husky perched upon a CD tower.  I posted a picture of Faolan lounging on a freezer to their wall, and one of the hosts contacted me about it.  She is a contributor to the local news, and does a brief feature each Saturday morning on the news about pets, and wanted to use the picture of Faolan.  Of course I obliged. 



The video isn't the greatest quality, as I recorded the TV with my cell phone.







His name was pronounced correctly, but he was referred to as a "she." 



We won't tell him that, though.

Breakfast-Pork heart chunks.




The snow has melted, it rained a bunch last night. This is what I face when I let the dogs into the mud room right before I left for work.






Bruce had enough sense not to go wading in a giant mud puddle. At first I was mad, but then I realized how much fun it was for them, and had to laugh.

I get to work, and one of my awesome coworkers brought me some meat!!



Two large round steaks, two packages beef liver, and a package of split chicken breasts! How nice!

I received a Facebook message that Neeko was "Wolfer of the Day" on the In the Company of Wolves: Wolfer Love Facebook page! My pretty princess.



I spaced out while setting out food this morning for doggie dinner tonight, having forgotten they had bone-in for dinner last night. Oops. They had a little more bone tonight, in the form of large pork rib roasts.



They were happily consumed. Hopefully there's minimal dust poop/constipation. Only from the mouth of a raw feeder would one hear that. :-)

Today 1/18/13

I did, in fact, get up an hour early this morning with the intention of breaking down the 40 lbs of boneless turkey chunks that sat in our back bathroom bathtub overnight.  I was up at 4:30 a.m., started a pot of coffee, let the dogs out, drank a cup of coffee, then headed to the back bathroom with scale, Ziplocs, and pen in hand.  The turkey was still frozen fairly solid.  I dropped the 30 lb case of turkey necks in the tub next to it, and thought about what to do next. At this point I had already been up for about 20 minutes, and had a cup of coffee, so going back to bed was out of the question.  I used my spare time to sit down and watch the news.

The trio had a breakfast of boneless pork chops and eggs for breakfast.

Off to work I went.  Mid morning I checked my phone.  I had a Facebook notification of a new message received.  Faolan was "Wolfer of the Day" on the In the Company of Wolves: Wolfer Magic page, a recently started project by Howling Woods Farm in New Jersey.  I was honored.

Finished my day at work, came home, and set about breaking down those turkey chunks.  Once started, I realized the meat was in fact pink, and I believe red dye was put on top of the case as a denaturant, to mark as not for humans.  It was a tedious process, as the chunks were still frozen in the middle.  It took me over an hour, and at one point, my hands and forearms were cramping from prying meat apart.

I did all the work in the bathroom, and transported it to the freezer.

 

Dinner-beef heart, turkey chunks, beef kidney.

They all ate the turkey with no issues, which pleases me.  I was actually slightly worried that the princess would not.

 

Speaking of the princess (Neeko), just a shot of her on the back porch, licking her frozen water.

 



Food and a Frame

Today's breakfast-ground green tripe.


Dinner-chicken leg quarter, bison liver, pork heart chunk, Seameal meatball.




I finally found a frame to purchase that can display the Speck's circular that has Neeko on the front. I was beginning to think I was going to have to spend big bucks to have it custom framed.
