It is so hard when we’re facing goodbyes. Yes, trying to make them happy with delicious food is sometimes the best thing we can do.

What a great idea! Honey likes kale. But I never thought of giving her the spines I cut away. But it makes sense. Dogs have much stronger teeth so they probably find them no challenge at all.

I’ll tell Honey to thank Zack and Zoe when she gets some extra kale next time we buy it.

BTW, do you have any travels in your future? I often think of you all and wonder if you’ll be hitting the road again.

I would never have thought of liquifying watermelon and freezing it. But that is a fabulous idea. And so easy!

Now I’m jealous that I don’t have a blender or a freezer. :/

OMD, there is nothing that proves my love for my dogs more than dealing with the smell of dehydrating liver. You? 🙂

Your mom is smart to use liverwurst sparingly. It’s a pretty rich treat.

And yes, it definitely defrosts too quickly. In those situations we use freeze dried liver.

I can’t blame Gwen on the oatmeal. But it’s a healthy filler when you need a bland diet.

The standard advice is to make beef and rice when our dogs get an upset stomach. But I find dogs don’t digest rice very well. However, oatmeal was a component of the homemade diet I made my last dog and it worked really well.

Of course, Honey was relieved that the last time she had an upset stomach, I skipped the oatmeal and just fed her turkey and pumpkin.
