Re: [rawfeeding] Re: Feeding small dog + Gopher brag!

You know I am not even using the scale anymore, It doesn't seem to matter because they play musical dinner between the 4 dogs. I do try to give my Smallest dog Rita the smallest portion. When I first started raw Rita ( about 4 lbs) was inactive and over weight while Cherry ( about 7-8 lbs) was very active and in good condition. we are just a few months into raw and I have seen a couch potato turn into a new dog, She plays now, she didn't even play much when she was a pup. But back to the point, I "try" to give her the smallest pieces the portions with the least amount of fat and remove the skin from the chicken ( I give that to the pup) so she doesn't get extra fat.. It seems to be working, she looks like she has trimmed down some and has become pretty active.

Oh.. BTW.. Tonight I was headed around the house and I found a *Dead* Gopher! This is a good thing.. My Pom has been hunting squirrels and gophers for a while now, I am sure it was her and the pup that got it, they didn't eat it but it looked well played with. I know this is a silly thing to be so happy about, but these little turds have eaten almost half of my garden. I am proud that my little dog has learned to catch them! and no she isn't blood thirsty LOL She is trying to mother baby chicks...
