Here is a Picture of Buttercup
Another recipe for dogs:
1/4 lb or so (several) carrots
1 or 2 cups split peas, rice, or beans
2 or 3 lbs meat
water
Put it all in a large crock pot and cook for several hours. Be sure to check the juice level, as somehow, it seems to boil over. Where does the extra liquid come from? Anyway, dogs like the juice that I spoon out over their kibble.
Today we are using a mix of split peas and rice with a pork roast that we found on sale. Pork can make for loose stools and should be fed in small amounts until your sure, so use more rice and beans with pork.
I always lay the carrots on the bottom and put the meat in next with the rice and beans over the top which I wash down with water. Fill to an inch or two from the top.
Lur found a good home the other night. Seems they wanted more of a firecracker personality than Reddy is, so they fell for Lur. They have renamed him to Chase, which is a very good name for him. He got to meet some cows yesterday, I bet he had a ball.
Tomorrow we get to introduce our foundling, Buttercup, to her (maybe) new owner and his cattle dog. We turned the adoption of Buttercup over to New Hope Cattle Dog Rescue here in Phoenix, and they have a great advertising network. We’ve had her for several months and have not had luck placing her yet.
I’m going to take Nununda along because we are meeting at a cattle dog agility class in Tempe, and I want her to take a look at that. She is long-legged and smart with an even temper, I think she’d do real well.
