Re: [pyrnet] Barf diet?

["Amy Bailey" <ambailey@mediaone.net>]

How do you go about preparing this diet?  Do you purchase chicken and
vegetables in large quantities and chop it up for the dogs or does someone
prepackage it?  Do you grind up the bones?  I've always heard that chicken
bones especially were dangerous to eat because they splinter.  Obviously my
imagination is not running in the right tracks tonight.

I eat meat but if I have to deal with parts of it that resemble the original
animal too much, I tend to have a vegetable night while my family enjoys the
meal.  Tongue, for example, makes a vegetable night for me.  I can see that
preparing this diet as I imagine it, might make it a permanent vegetable
night.
