sure does.
Not bad. Nothing but movie watching and laying around for once.
How was yours?
By the way...what is your typical daily feeding of your dogs?

good..love this weather...75-80..cloudy w/ some breeze...i love weekends like that i get to sit outside on a patio with a cigar and come coffee after BBQ some beef ribs with corn and vegetables w/potatoes....
Bailey my youngest eats 2 x a day, i feed her after we come back from walking/running around 6 am...usually its 2 cups of dry Kirkland lamb and rice dog food with either half a can of dog food (that if i have absolutely nothing left from breakfast or last nights dinner which happens rarely i bought 24 cans around December and I still have like 10 cans left) some salmon oil. sometimes cottage cheese, eggs, sour cream, milk.... Dinner is the same for all dogs.
Rest of the dogs eat 1 x day...usually on weekdays it is dry dog food with either slow cooked meat and all its juices (2-3 pound meat chunk for 4 dogs), sometimes it is cottage cheese, left over dinner such as rice or steamed vegetables, dog can food if we went out for dinner and I have not cooked at all...either way there is always something that goes along with dry dog food.
weekends they always get raw..usually if its a big knuckle bone on Saturday morning/noon than they don't eat till Sunday night and they get everything I can buy from a butcher at reasonable price...i have 2 racks of ribs for them for this coming up weekend. last weekend I bought 2 whole chickens had them cut in 1/2 and they each had 1/2 a chicken, on Sunday they had pigs feet and in the evening they had beef ribs that i BBQ..... a rack comes out to be about 2 ribs per dog...
hope that helps...unless you meant something else...but its to early for me to figure out..LOL

That isn't bad weather at all. It is getting hot as hell out here in AZ.
Now that sounds like a relaxing afternoon. Im a lil jealous.
Now you mix some of those ingedients in with their kibble correct? Not all of those ingredients at the same time?
I was thinking about cooking their dinner but I just dont feel like take the time to cook and prepare.
Dogs eat betetr than I do....lol
I feed mine raw but had switched to mainly kibble but with my 10 month old getting pano bad I switched back to raw.
Do you worry about vegetables or since they get kibble, you don't worry about it?
You KNOW i always mean something else.... :)

well....they are gorgeous but i am instantly attracted to Barak...love that face...its almost like: "I can be nice...I can be but i am not"...LOL..beautiful color on him, very rich...
Jax, reminds me of a dog my grandma used to have...mean sob...bit me on a hand..i still have scars...one on top and one on the inside of my left wrist...he once tore motorcycle tire when a visitor parked to close to the chain where he was tied...
Anyways...regarding food..no i don't mix them all together usually its one additional ingredient to the dog food...like Monday i gave them cottage cheese (split 1 container between 4 dogs), today they will either get Greek yogurt or if there is enough I will give them last nights steamed rice which have been fried in sesame seed oil with vegetables and eggs (basically vegetarian version of Chinese fried rice, I don't have any chicken left that went with the dinner. :) )
if you are feeding your 10 month old all raw, i would buy grounded beef, chicken, Italian sweet sausage, or what ever and i would steam/boil vegetables rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process and mash them w/ fork and add into grounded meat...he wont be able to tell a difference...i done that before with Bailey till i realized she will eat vegetables w/o a problem..she eats raw carrots, celery, she will eat boiled potatoes, she likes grilled asparagus of all things....squash....even occasional cucumber...so, if you have not tried giving him raw vegetables, try it...he may like it...if not..boil it and mash it...just make sure you have 50/50 meat/vegetable mass or more meat less veg. to get him started...if he wont eat it..cook it and add little bit of brown sugar...it caramelizes meat and makes it more appealing to dogs....and people..LOL..most people don't realize that to get the bbq meat to look and taste like in restaurants/tv commercials and lock in juice you need to add brown sugar, salt, pepper...etc..it makes a world of a difference...
and yes.....Ace...i know.....
**wonder if it would it be to obvious to sign off "spades"..LOOOL.

I love dark sables and thought Jax would be the same but low and behold he came out black n red. I think im still pissed about it. His littermate is a nice bi-color. I am like you and prefer Barak's color. I like the dogs at legendaryk9.com Beautiful black sables and I would love one from there...great bloodlines as well.
Thanks for your recipe as I will try that with mine. I know I could change it up more for them. I usually add greek yogurt or Keifer to their kibble.
I see how you add brown sugar...most people don't know about that....Im impressed. And here I thought you made stuff that came fresh out of a box...lol
lol..nope it wouldnt be obvious.
