A Little of This, and a Little of That

Every couple of months my counters fill up with meaty disgustingness which grosses out my husband and forces him into his office, while at the same time making all of my dogs come running to the kitchen to hover.  You see invariably, my deep freeze gets close to empty, which means it’s time to restock and this makes the dogs VERY excited.

Now, you may be thinking this is some great stock pile of meat for human consumption, and you couldn’t be more wrong. This haul comes especially for the dogs, and goes into “their” deep freeze from which I pull all their meals. You see, my dogs eat a raw diet, which means they eat a diet comprised of raw meat, veggies, organ meat, eggs, and several other yummies dogs love, which we humans think are disgusting.

Tonight was organ meat night. I had run out of organ meat blend, so that meant it was time to create more. Thankfully, a good friend and fellow raw feeder informed me quite early on that making your own organ meat blend was disgusting, time consuming, and messy. So I simply buy Bravo’s beef organ meat blend, thaw it out, and then refreeze in ice cube trays. (with 4 dogs 10 pounds and under, you have to improvise so it doesn’t go bad before you can feed it all) Then over time, I can simply pull individually frozen cubes of organ meat out of the deep freeze, thaw, and feed to the dogs. Portioning the stuff out into ice cube trays is still gross, and something I put off until the last possible moment.  After finally getting it over and done with after all of the procrastination, I can now sit back and not worry about organ meat for the next few months. YAY!

However, this weekend, I will have 20 pounds of chicken frames, 20 pounds of chicken necks, and 20 pounds of ground turkey coming in which will also need to be portioned into small dog sized servings.  So stay tuned for even more meaty disgustingness!
