Turkey tails. I had to work my scissors to get the fat and skin off but he can eat those. The bigger ones I cut in half. I tries to chew them and I heard some crunching but I am pretty sure he swallowed most of them pretty much as a whole. That is ok, I can make them the size that can be swallowed. He seems fine so far and his stools were as close to normal as I have seen with him. YAY!
Thanks, Lenka, for thinking of this! He really has clothes but they are at the place of the people that he was with before he came to me. Like I said, he was supposed to be with me for 1,5 days. We are just figuring out how to get them to me.
And it is apple pie. I have a shopping bag full of apples that are just begging me to eat them

Apple pie is fine with me!
But there are no eggs in it ....
Unless what you call apple pie (which I am certain I will love, vicariously or not) is different from what I do, which is basically apples, sugar, and spices, in a flour-and-fat crust.
If you want to put a layer of cake over or under or beside that to get some egg shells, sounds good to me.

I do a bit different crust I guess (flour, sugar, butter and eggs). My kids like this one alot better for some reason...
Berger is doing great. It might be just wishful thinking but it seems like his skin has gotten smoother. And his stools are normal! There is also another upside to all of this- when there is just too much to do it is easier to give the dogs kibble (grain free but still kibble) but now that I have dog that has no alternative to raw I am forced to go to the market so all can have raw

I'll take it!
"Berger is doing great. It might be just wishful thinking but it seems like his skin has gotten smoother."
Oh, it's so not your imagination. You have added long-chain Omega 3s to his diet! Big-ag beef heart is extremely low in Omega 3 EFAs .... lower even than poultry (by a factor of about seven, in fact, and big-ag poultry is darned low already).
You've added meat that's higher in 3s and you've added a mega-source of long-chain 3s: fish oil!
And the calcium is helping his poop (not to mention his bones, teeth, and organs).

An update...
We went on a 2 week trip to Poland show and to Germany Bundessieger show. I worried about feeding raw on the road, especially with a dog like Berger that can´t eat everything. The truth is that it was easy!
In Poland I was like a kid in a candy shop- turkey necks that I have never even seen in Estonia, all ready with prices I have only seen spoken of in this forum. I had forgotten the knife in the car so I thought I´d give a neck to Berger just for fun until we get something to cut with. He ate it. He chewed the bone with ease. I was amazed...
In Germany the prices were not nearly as friendly and I couldn´t find necks but turkey wings and quarters did the trick. And he are those bones too! The skin was the tricky part but he was like he had been eating bones all his life.
And since I had to raw feed Berger it was not much trouble to do the same for our dogs. The 3 kg of kibble is still in the car, untouched. We might have not had the winning dachshunds (but one VDH CAC anyway) but we sure did have one of the most (if not THE most) shiny dogs in brilliant condition and this after.
Berger is with his owner now. I REALLY hope he keeps up with this feeding. Bergers skin was amazingly good by the time he left. I didn´t believe he could be shiny like those other xolos and peruvians I have seen but by the time he left he was well on his way, already shining on several areas. Yay
