Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hello:-) I had sent in a "hi" to all yesterday but it seems to have gotten lost in cyberspace.:-/ So 'Hi" all.:-) I wanted to comment on this subject ... We live in a very rural area where dogs are very plentiful..well the people here I'm seeing don't mind at all abusing their dogs and basically letting them roam free, killing livestock as they go..just driving the 20 miles into town I can see dogs on the side of the road eating whole dear, turkey or whatever they've managed to kill. We really love animals and it's not unusual for them to find us and just stay..:-) We are not independently wealthy,lol, so what we do is go to the grocery store and ask what they do with all their expired meat..(I'm talking like 1 day expired, not spoiled though) well they just throw it out so we go behind the store and pick up boxes of raw meat and bones and that's what we feed our many dogs..(I have a huge chest freezer in the outbuilding).. Also when it's chicken butchering time, nothing is wasted. Our most recent friend to find us is a male red tick hound mix named Ticker, who literally had over 200 bloated ticks on him and some sort of skin condition:-( After just a month of eating this way, he has no ticks (even though tick season has just started and he's living in the barn that is surrounded by taller grasses for the chickens to eat in) he has no sign of a skin condition and is visibly very cheerful.:-) also,none of the dogs attack our chickens anymore, which use to be a problem, my organic free range eggs are my grocery money,lol... Well anyway just wanted to hey:-)... Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
