Beautiful sunset this evening lent to some fabulous lighting on our evening stroll in the field behind our house…
Updated the home page with the new pic above of the girls and removed this shot from a week or so ago:
Skyy Needs a Tooth Pulled
As a raw feeder, I’ve always rested easy about my dogs’ teeth health. The raw meaty bones clean their teeth naturally. Unfortunately, Skyy only chews her bones with her back teeth (she refuses to use her feet or do any ripping of raw meaty bones), which has created some issue with the teeth in the front of her mouth. Her canine teeth have some tartar build up, although they still look good for an almost seven year old dog. However, she has one premolar that has become problematic.
She is going in tomorrow to have the problem tooth extracted. The vet will also clean the canine teeth while she is under.
Going forward, I will be using more recreational (chew) bones, as well as brushing the teeth, in hopes of keeping those front teeth cleaner.
Kizzy Loves Kids of All Sizes
We had a precious 8 month old visiting us this weekend and Kizzy was in love. The little one seemed to get a kick out of Kizzy as well!
Kizzy Visits School
Kizzy had a blast visiting both our boys in their first and third grade classrooms this week. She was swarmed by kids and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to pass out as many kisses as possible.
What we fed today
Chicken leg quarters for breakfast. Dinner tonight was a ground beef organ mix from My Pet Carnivore and Tripett. Each dog got one pound of the beef organ mix and one can of tripe. 2000 mg Vit C added to each dog’s bowl.
What we fed today
Haven’t had any diet posts lately, so figured I would do a “what we fed today” post.
Tonight’s meal:
Canned Jack Mackerel, Tripett, egg (shell included), ground beef, yogurt and Vitamin C.
Mmmmmm
Each dog got one can of fish, 1/2 can of tripe, couple of heaping tablespoons of yogurt, about 1/2 lb beef, 1 egg and 2000 mg Vit C.
The dogs approve of my stellar culinary skills….
Tomorrow morning’s meal:
I wait to pull out the next meal until I’m cleaning up the current meal, which doesn’t usually allow the meat enough thaw time. I often end up letting the meat sit in some warm water to speed up the thawing process.
Kizzy – 2 1/2 years old

Kizzy goes Reserve Winners at GDCDM Specialty
The Great Dane Club of Des Moines just had our annual back-to-back Specialties this past Friday. We had a wonderful entry – 65 Danes. Nice 5 pointer in bitches! Kizzy went Reserve Winners Bitch at the afternoon show, under judge Jane Treiber.
The after-show dinner was great fun as well! I’ve so many great friends through dogs!!
