We have a spare freezer too that has been pretty much taken over by dog food. If I tried to talk my hubby into buying an additional one he would probably lose his mind. And then have me admitted into the loony bin.

My dogs have two freezers in the basement just for their food.

Last summer, when we lost power from a storm, my only thought was how to keep their food from spoiling (not the fact that we had no air conditioning in the house, or any other electrical convenience!)

I ended up running a very long extension cord from our basement down the street to a neighbor who still had power and was willing to share. We had no power for 4 days. But the dogs' food survived.

freezer space is a must... at least a small stand-alone.
in england, the liver/bones/organs are the cheapest...
(i'm in china now) - and all that is ridiculously expensive...

chinese people, in general, find all the organ stuff 'good for something' - just thought i'd share that random culture insight

(i can't stand eating organs btw......)

LOL ....im so glad im not alone

Oh, you can get away with any plastic bag when dealing with roadkill. I have used anything from trashbags to rather thin ones I just got when buying clothes. I just doubled it (well, you would have to buy alot of clothes for this ) for safety and we´re off. You can imagine the amazed faces driving by when a blond chick (sometimes nicely dressed and in heels) pulls over to a dead fox or a racoon dog to bag it and stuff it in the car. I haven´t used them for feeding though but in the end of a bloodtrack but it is not alot different- when you see a fox pup on the side of the road you should be thinking "Aww, the poor thing" not looking in the back mirror checking if you can get away with sudden breaking.

I told my husband I was going to pick up road kill and he threatened me with bodily harm.

Last week I spent 1 1/2 hours making vege glop when I should have been doing laundry and cleaning house.

Well today,I think I've really lost it. I read dogs can eat fruit. So today I went to the store and bought pears,apples,blueberries,yogurt, mackeral, sardines and eggs. I blended them all together in my food processor, one batch with fruit only,1 batch with fruit and mackeral, and the other batch with fruit and sardines. I thought all they eat is meat and veges, that they too, like humans, needed some side dishes. Other than the rare occasion they get brown rice or oatmeal.

So then I am having a conversation with my bulldog (Brindle) for like an hour about side dishes and variety. She is my main taste tester and she gave a big paws up on the fruit medley.The other 3 spoiled brats will be having it at dinner. I wasted about 2 hours of my day cooking for my dogs????

Can dogs eat pork chitterlings ? I got souse for the first time today. Can they eat that? What is royal salt back? (It was white and frozen)

My dog loves watermelon but I found out the hard way that it... shall we say, goes through him VERY quickly!!!

I honestly don't know if this applies to all fruit, but just a word of caution. Maybe some of the more experienced raw feeders can chime in on this.

And yes, it is so very strange how happy we are to put all this effort into feeding the fuzzy butts compared to the two legged family members!!
