Good tip on the Asian markets! They DO have inexpensive whole fish...I'll just have to clean it That could get messy, especially when I clean fish LOL!

I do have to say though, Ginger has been tolerating a little more chicken and turkey ever since I've been rotating Force and Embark in her food along with her chicken wrapped carrots or apple treats from EcoNaturals! (Yay for Ginger!)

the pups eating chicken quarters for dinner

Awesome Jennet! Do they keep the chicken in their bowls or do they drag them out onto the floor?

Dakota's getting a chicken quarter for dinner tonight...maybe I'll try feeding it to him in his bowl and see if he keeps it in there or takes it out. Will take pics!

Edit: Well I guess if I'd paid more attention the first time I looked at the pics I'd have noticed Embry took his chicken out in one of the pics.

They try taking them out, but I always sit there and put it back in their bowl.

Hmm, maybe I will put newspaper down underneath to minimize the mess if he takes it out. It'd be nice to use his bowl instead of the cutting board like I normally do...that or I need to get myself more cutting boards.

I am just picturing a husky tearing at a fish like a grizzly bear now LOL!

I am still researching the raw thing my fiancee seems to think that we cannot afford it because of the price of meats. He says we don't have any real butcher shops around here. We have Safeway, Food 4 less, a mexican grocery store which is equivalent to a food 4 less with smaller shopping carts. I have been trying to find a decent freezer that will fit in our smaller house (not to much extra space). I found this cute freezer for 75 bucks and I am wondering if something like this would work for us.

We have 3 dogs so I think that is why my fiancee is so concerned about the prices. I told him it would probably cost less than the kibble we get. So its just going to take some more time, research, and pricing around until he is 100% convinced I think. However I am all for it! I would love to feed them all raw I think it would solve any food allergy issues and stomach sensitivity issues we have with kibble. We can't give Loki or Coal wet food or they get the runs so its frustrating.

5.5 cu ft is not huge but it's better than nothing. Our freezer is 15 cu ft but we use it for both human and dog frozen food.

Took at pic of Dakota's and Faith's dinner. Dakota was served a chicken quarter sprinkled with Nupro supplement and a touch of garlic. Faith was served a mix of THK and kibble. Which looks like the better diet to you?



I took a chance and fed Dakota his chicken in his bowl for the first time and to my surprise he never took it out of the bowl. Yay!



A couple videos, excuse the whining Faith!

Awesome. You folks, I look up to. Of all the people in the world, I should have the time. But I just can't wrap my head around it. Although with a backpack trip this summer, the thought of raw is popping into my head again. Just not sure I could keep up with the acquisition of meat part. I get lazy fast. [/ramble]

I just cant get past the germ part of it and salmonella, i would have to wipe their mouths and paws and all off before i let them near me for kisses, and it would have to be done out side.

That part actually doesn't concern me whatsoever. I still do the wings for teeth thing.
