    just have to brag

    sometimes i hate living where i do..... but then on days like this i LOVE it!!

    the old guy next door just gave me about two boxes full of meat. home grown (as in i knew the cow) organic naturally raised beef Big Smile

    i didnt tell him i planned to turn it to dog chow.. well not ALL of it... but i have to say i ran out of food just in time. no sooner did i run out of food for the pups and was about to call DH than the old guy comes riding up on his four-wheeler with the stuff tied on... oh.. in the south the old folks dont need wheel chairs.. they have ATVs!! lol 

     

    anyway yep. i'm happy! i also have a hog's head that came with the boxes of meat.....  which is a whole other ball of wax (i collect skulls)

     

    one dilemma though. i was also given frozen fish, but these fish have spines along their backs - perch i think they are - i've never fed frozen fish before.. and these are all frozen into two separate fishy ice bergs.. should i let them defrost or would it be ok to give them whole to the big dogs? theres a ton of fish there in each one...

     wow nice haul!

    Bugs will eat any meat/organ etc but he will not eat raw fish.  I usually grill (BBQ) it then freeze it in portion sized bags.  Also I suppose it depends on the fish but I debone it

    How lucky you... Wink

    I wish somebody would give me tons of meat for my dogs... Doubt it will happen anytime soon, though...

    Just out of curiosity, why aren't YOU eating this stuff?  Sounds yummy to me!Stick out tongue Well, the hog's head doesn't, but the rest? Fire up the BBQ!

    i ended up splitting the fish up between them. All three - even though have had salmon before - looked at me like "uh.. Ma? whadda we do wit it??" Kaydee rolled in hers... Confused and Amber shunned it. that was ok. the cat didnt mind lol

     

    and yeah my husband got a little mouthy about "why are dogs eating this and not us??" i told him we'd get our share too. its just right now i dont want to buy it if i dont have to.

    after i got over the weirdness of looking at it i cut off as much meat from the hog head as i could.... which really just looked like a giant ham... with a snout. Ick!

     

    i told the old guy if he ever ran out of room in his freezer again to let us know! we would happily trade him eggs for surplus meat!

     NICE! 

    This is late obviously, but you're never around anyway.  It sounds kinda gross, but Crusher and Onyx both love raw fish.  The only thing is they won't touch it the first day.  They both trot off to opposite sides of the kennel, bury them and then lay around guarding their fishies from each other.   When I bring them in, I have to go out and leash both of them and physically drag them away.  The next morning they are both dancing at the door waiting to get back out there to check on the catch.  Thats when they eat them.
