I realize the flaw in the concept of a raw feeding blog... Lack of material. Perhaps I'm not creative enough to to see the blog-worthy moments of day to day feeding. But I don't have much else new to write about.
Raw feeding is going great. I've gotten a lot more free meat, and should be set for a while. Mona had a slight upset last week and, to be on the safe side, I took her to the vet. He ran some tests but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. He ran a stool sample and couldn't find any bad bacteria in it whatsoever (take that, anti-raw germophobes!!). Most likely, she ate something she shouldn't have, probably from outside. We now watch her much more closely when we let her outside!
I am planning to scout out some ethnic grocery stores this weekend in hopes of finding sources for organs, which is my only hang-up right now. Mona gets liver, but I have yet to find any other organs. I'd also love to find some beef heart, which I've yet to try. I'll try to post pictures of whatever goodies I might find (assuming I locate my camera, which is MIA!).
In the mean time, I think I'll expand this blog to include more of my pets. Between the rest of the critters in my house, I doubt I'll be short on material!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Sadly, I have no fantastic Thanksgiving meal story to share.
Mona thew up a little bit this morning. I'm not quite sure why. I was in the kitchen this morning making food for our dinner later on, when I heard that unmistakable retching sound. She ended up vomiting three times, only small amounts and nothing but foamy yellow bile. I don't know if she was just hungry (did the smells coming from the kitchen make her hungry?), or if she was feeling a little under the weather. Either way, she seemed just fine afterwards, and so after waiting about an hour to make sure she wouldn't throw up again, I went ahead and fed her her meal.
Today Mona had a 9 ounce piece of chicken leg quarter and some liver. Nothing fancy. I'd thought about getting something different for her, like a "pork picnic shoulder" I'd seen... Something to give her a really good workout. But circumstances changed and that just didn't happen. It'll come eventually.
