Weekly Puppy Development  Litters of 2011

A bit about food:  that delicious thing that keeps us alive.

Making food for puppies involves grinding.
Mommies are supposed to vomit partially digested food for the pups
but I can't count on that happening with any regularity.

SO... I buy 40# boxes of chicken necks and turn Mikel loose.
He loves to grind.

80 pounds of frozen chicken necks, and the grinder.

Close up of the necks.

You have to do it while it is still partially frozen in order to refreeze it.
So, I pry it all apart as I go.  It's usually a 2 day adventure.

The grinder and the loaves.

Labelled and ready for the deep freeze.
We go through 1, sometimes 2 of these a day.

When I get my rabbits butchered, I keep the rib cages and the kidneys
for the dogs (Right and center.)
The rest is for humans only!  Such a delicacy!

The rabbit rib cages get finely ground and formed into balls for
the tiniest babies to start their weaning.  They *love* rabbit meat.

A lot of work, well yes.  But I think it's totally worth it.
