What did your dog(s) eat today?

Tonight the kids had chicken carcasses, C & E had a half each (They are huge) and Tinny had a 1/4 and some scraps of lamb. The littlies had steak of some sort lol, spoilt little dogs.

W W.. I need to set up a plan like that..

I was doing the same thing yesterday, Tasha!

I bought 4 rabbits, 12 lbs chicken feet, 8 lbs of goat, 10 lb rack of pork ribs, 5 lbs pig ears (for treats), 2 lbs pork liver, 5 lbs trout, 8 lbs turkey legs, and some other things that I can't remember right now.

Today the Labs had half a rabbit, and Buck is having another half tonight. Mandy doesn't like rabbit so she had some trout. Mandy and Nova are now having 3 chicken feet each daily to help with their joints. They've never had chicken feet before and I thought Mandy would hate them but she loved them!

Roxy's having.. some part of a chicken, apparently it wasn't the ribs like I thought, plus 1/4 of a chicken quarter. Lily's having her leftovers from yesterday and a chicken wing. She's in the midst of eating her leftover bone right now though, and then I'll give her the wing.

This morning Visa had some goat and a beef heart.

Ki had chicken nuggets (because of incapability of chewing the bones)

Nala & Simba had a chicken leg each.

They also had:

raw egg w/shell
yogurt
squash/carrot puree

Simba & Kiara didn't like the shell, so Nala ate their shells. She LOVED them. Next time I make a puree I'm going to add eggs with shell in it.

Chester had a turkey leg, and an egg for breakfast. I am so happy, he actually cracks the eggshells by himself now! For dinner, he'll probably have a little bit of lamb, and some apple/banana puree with yogurt.

That is a ton of food, Tasha It's very cool that you added pics of the whole process. But, don't feel that bad about all of the work. I had to cut 5 whole chickens into 1/5ths today, and 2 huge geese! The geese were, really gross to handle, and had a bunch of feathers that I had to pluck.

I also concocted these fairly raw-feeder-friendly chicken liver treats, because I got 5 lbs of liver for like $1.50, and I really didn't need all of that liver especially with the whole chickens I got... which will be lasting me at least 2 weeks. Here's the recipe, if anyone has extra chicken or beef liver on their hands. Just a warning, they smell HORRIBLE! I guess that's because I hate the smell of garlic, and liver. But the smell died down after the cookies cooled.

1 carton of chicken livers (whatever size, but I used 3 lbs)
2 eggs (including shells)
1 tbsp minced fresh garlic
Oatmeal

Blend it all in your blender. Add as much oatmeal as it takes to thicken, enough to make tablespoon-sized dallops on a cookie sheet. Place cookie sheet in the oven, pre-heated to 350*. This will take 20 minutes to bake. Gonzo & Fozzie sat in front of the oven for the full 20 minutes, and went crazy waiting for them to cool! They love them! These are good to make before a weekend full of shows/training/etc. They are firm cookies but they don't crumble, they're kind of spongey and have a pretty pungent odor! I would only keep them in the fridge for 4-5 days, but you can freeze a bunch. These are really cheap, seeing as most people have all of this laying around (except for the livers, usually).
