HI Curly!

Rocky here.

We know your pain! We don't like it either but if we don't get it, somehow my stomach doesn't take it well. There's two types of raw diets. One is just pure meat called Primal Diet, and others all a BARF diet (meat, veggies, fruits). In the Primal Diet, it is recommended that you have veggies and fruits. Olivia can do good in a Primal Diet and in a BARF diet too. I can't do a Primal Diet. I have to have variety. Nature's Variety thought of this. You know that they do? They mix it in with the raw meat and then you HAVE to eat it. They do a pretty good job because that's the only way would even touch it. When leader tries mixing them in, we spit out the rest and just ate the meat. We love carrots and potatoes because of the crunch.

Go to this store and check out some of raw diets too. Of course you don't have to buy from there but just to give you an idea of some brands out there.

You know what happened last time we bought our raw food, the manager gave mom extra meat just for us, for free! He only gives it to the raw feeders and to those eating EVO, NV, Orijen or some simlar to those.

THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT! WE LOVED OUR RAW CRAB

Much love from Rocky, Olivia, Panchita and our leader! Here to help our friend RED.

Hi Curly....Mom’s lock-in is over! She says she’s wore slap dab out….(that’s Tennessee for tired). She can’t seem to get caught up on her sleep. She says she’s getting way to old for that (and please don’t tell her we said so but she is WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY OLD!). She also posted a new blog for everyone to tell what they are thankful for and she in our Thanksgiving Feast blog she has put in foods that were probably part of the very first Thanksgiving (oh and she added a boring history lesson too). So please stop by and check those out! We just wanted to say hi today and show off our new clothes. Our Aunt Melissa sent me a shirt and Sable and new bandana. They are the Arkansas Razorbacks. Daddy’s Favorite College Team. See he is from Arkansas. He says he’s a HOG (that’s what they call themselves too)..but mom says being a Razorback doesn’t make him a HOG…it’s other stuff. He HOGS the covers…He HOGS chips…He HOGS the bathroom…(no really he has a bathroom that is done in Razorback stuff). He HOGS everything. She says we must take after him.  So now we're gonna "call the Hogs" for you

WOOOOOOOOOOOO PIG SOOOOOOOOOIE RAZORBACKS!

Hi Curly! Hope you have a great sunday! xoxo Daisymae and dee dee

Hi Curly, again,

I just realized you said pork chops. Like I said, you have not just include meat only in your diet. You have to do right proportions such as fruits, veggies, and meat. The biggest should be meat. Here's something I found on the net for you to help you out. All those things that they mention for veggies and fruits are also included in the BARF World website.

"My next selection of raw meat was pork chops. Pork chop bones were much easier for my toy poodle to munch on, but I found that it gave her terrible indigestion. About that time, I found some friends who were also feeding raw food to their animals, and they have some suggestions for me about the indigestion. First, I shouldn't feed just raw meat. I needed to include raw fruits and vegetables. The only raw fruits and vegetables I shouldn't include were onions, lots of garlic, and grapes. They also suggested that I include a probiotic, a digestive enzyme, and a source of the omega 3, 6, and 9 oils. As soon as I got those into my dogs' system, all traces of indigestion went away."

Hi Curly!

Rocky here.

Well, curly, it is included in the raw diet but if your leader is not comfortable with the pork, then it's fine. There's other tons of meat you could eat. Our mom doesn't let us eat pork. Reasons at to we don't know why. She refuses and leader has say fine! Some raw feeders will tell you no, and some will tell you yes. It really is up to your taste and preference. I don't like eating raw chicken, even though it's very important part of a raw diet. I'll eat other types of meat, but forget it, chicken is not one of them. As for the bacteria thing, we dogs can handle that stuff. Humans can't so they think we can't.

I do suggest your leader first try Nature's Variety Raw Diet or Primal Pet Foods. Try finding places that sell Nature's Variety locally. They'll be in the freezer and while your at it, you could check out some other raw diets there too. See, the reason I tell you this is because even though feeding raw food is awesome(!), as many will tell you, there is A LOT of research involved and right proportions have to be fed. While you eat this, your leader can do lots of reseach and even go to the BARF WORLD website under BARF DIET Specifics, and they'll give you a list of what to feed. (We love carrots!) Once your leader is prepared, your leader can make the transition to real raw diet and your transition will be way easier because you have been practicing eating the right proportions and actually trying the stuff.

Look, check out this page for a sample of a raw diet for adult dogs. You could try going to the

D  O  G  S  T  E  R   .   C  O  M (seperate spaces and lower caps because MDS doesn't let us post the name for some reason.) There you will find a group of raw feeders who can help you too. There is even a section just for raw feeders which you could look at. You will they even us EVO, Nature's Variety, and Orijen as well.

Some raw feeders use yogurt to get the process going in the food because some can be stubborn. Yogurt is actually good for many things, to help with the stomach and even yeast infection. EARTHCLINIC.com tell you about yogurt for dogs. It's a website for remedies. Also, a raw diet is recommended for health issues in that website.

Let us know how your doing, Curly. We really do care about what's going our new friend. We can tell you that before Panchita got vaccinated, she was very weak and skinny, so for a quick replacement, we gave her a raw diet and she's a very healthy dog now. By the time she got her shots, she was a pretty healthy dog. A raw diet helps with boosting the immune system. Did you know that longest living dog didn't eat kibble. There was no kibble back in those days! Something to think about.

Much love from Rocky, Olivia, Panchita, and our leader!
