And the Production Begins...

Every two months my parents put on a big production. No, not a show tune! That would certainly be a sight to see though! They prepare meals for Lindsay and me. Why, you ask? Well, first of all I'd like to think of myself as special. Special in the sense that they go out of their way to give us the very best nutritious foods. My momma says it's two sided, while we get to eat healthy and yummy food now, they benefit by having microscopic poop's and less vet visits (thank dog!) as we get older. So, we all win! In case you don't already know, we are on a diet of raw meat and bones. We kicked that bag of kibble to the curb May of 2007 and never looked back.

Sunday was one of those production days. It took my parents a whopping 2 hours to prepare our meals for the next two months. Not bad, eh?

First, they got everything set up. Cutting block my dadda's boss gave him and some plastic tubs to hold the meat already cut up.


Then, my momma separates plastic containers for Lindsay and me. Each container will hold boneless meat for two days. Each of us gets our very own table...told ya we were special!


Inside a clean sink, my dadda opens all packages for one species at a time. In this case, he had packages of pork butt (ymmmm..).

He gets right to it and starts cutting meat into chunks--like stew meat.


Nothing goes to waste because my dadda takes all the meat off the bones. My momma says these bones are too hard for us to eat. Sometimes she saves them as recreational bones to give us something to do.
My momma puts all the cut up meats into the containers. She's gotten pretty good at eyeballing the amounts we need. I of course, had to make sure she wasn't jipping me out of my servings of pork. Ok...everything looks good so far....

All filled up and ready to be sealed.

Hallelujah...it's done!

All packed up in the freezer, ready to grab for mealtime. Thank you momma and dadda...I love my raw meaty bones!

Valentine's woe's

My Valentine's Day was filled with steamed jumbo prawns dipped in this red yummy sauce, smoked Gouda cheese with crackers and topped off with chocolate.

Oh, wait....that wasn't mee eating all that yummy food. I watched with envy as my parents ate, so selfish not to share even one bite! I really wanted to try that chocolate stuff but my parents said it would be the death of me. I think they didn't want to share.


All I got was this lousy bully stick. C'mon!


Although, Lindsay seemed to enjoy it. She likes pretty much anything now...I have more refined tastes.

Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's :)

Lunch Break

Today my momma woke us up from a nap 'cause she came to visit us during her lunch break. We still had sleep in our eye when she took us out. Don't get me wrong, we were happy she came.













She said she needed to see our funny mugs to make her smile. So, we played it up a bit and tried to look vicious towards each other. Did it work? We look mean, huh?













Ok...time to eat before she has to go back to that dreaded place she calls w-o-r-k!

Ahhh, the joys of not being attached to a leash

The new fence is finally up and Lindsay is celebrating by romping around the yard..













She does laps as if she's training for a race or something.













Uh Oh...Lindsay found a vulnerable spot where the fence meets the dirt. Dadda...you better get right to patching up the gap or else Lindsay will be greeting the neighbor one morning.













Check out that smile.
