Waiting For The Thaw

A 10# bag of chicken backs is thawing in the sink. I brought them up last night and they will be partially thawed by this evening.  I'll trim some of the extra chunks of raw fat off and the backs will keep nicely in the fridge for about 3 days.  One of the bottom shelves is the dog food shelf and contains whole and/or ground meat, veggies and whatever leftovers will go into the dog's bowls.

Last night the dogs got ground rabbit with cooked cabbage and apples.  Everyone liked the fresh ground rabbit the second time around.  Fortunately, I might add, as the rabbit was $25.00 for a 5# container!  We won't be feeding it often, and chicken parts and turkey necks are far less expensive.  Although variety is optimum, some raw feeders only use chicken and/or turkey and that seems to work just fine for them.

This morning they will eating their basic "breakfast".  Ground turkey, veggie mix, salmon oil, and the vitamin mix.  Takes no longer than pouring kibble in a bowl and adding water.  Tonight it will be one or two chicken backs apiece and because I have a nice ripe extra tomato, I'll quarter it for the dogs.
