Sarah I have to agree with everyone when they say what a meal that must have been (btw...where did you order it from?)

Since we're on the subject of gross, we went Tuesday and picked up our whole hog. Now I've never been to a slaughter house and man...the smell hits you as soon as you get out of the car Even when we got into the office to pay the smell was horrid. Not an experience I'd like to have often.
When we paid the lady asked if we wanted any crackling. Of course I had no idea of what it was so I asked (fried pig skin). I guess people eat this...eewwwww! Nope not me, but the dogs sure love it. It's the new treat here
I took a couple pictures of my small freezer (9 cu. ft) and the house freezer


Both completely full! I don't know why but I didn't think it would take up so much room.
So with the side of beef coming, we had to go buy us a new freezer. The things we do for our dogs!

Today for breakfast mine split a 6 lb chicken and got a couple pieces of cracklin for a treat.

Has anyone ever fed their dogs sweetbreads? I gave some yesterday and they totally loved it! It's an expensive way to get Roxey to eat some organs.
