Guest guest Posted November 23, 2001 Report Share Posted November 23, 2001 Hi , That was quick. Thanks for the dog nutrition link. At present I belong to four groups and today I had 115 e-mails to sort through. I may join at a later date. Gardening is my specialty. I have figured out a way to eat from my garden nearly 12 months out of the year. Kale and corn salad are the hardiest green I've found. This year I am putting new lettuce plants under cover. Lettuce is also very winter hardy. But it definitely needs a cover in my northern Ohio climate. In the past every winter I relied on sprouted greens (my indoor garden). This is the second year I have tried growing my greens (real greens) in my garden all winter. The snow cover really helped last year and even the swiss chard didn't freeze out. Had some in February and it was soooo sweet. Marilyn --- " K.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2001 Report Share Posted November 23, 2001 I want to learn about sprouting. A friend of mine goes to a nutritionist who advocates eating fruits, vegetables and sprouts for a liver cleanse. I am moving in a week and then I want to start sprouting. I work from 1 to 10. When it says rinse twice a day how do I do that? I have lots of questions. Ace At 10:44 AM 11/23/2001 -0800, you wrote: >Hello, > >My name is Marilyn and I just joined your group two >days ago.

Hi marilyn! i raise my dogs on a raw food diet and grow wheat grass and sprouts for them and us. I juice it all as they cannot mastigate it to get any benefit from it, thus they eat it predigested, in the preys stomach contents. Good books to read on this is Raw meaty bones, grow your pups with bones, Give your dog a bone, and Ultimate diet. I will be glad to talk to you more about this and you can enlighten me also! Glad you are here! Joanne Olds Coppertop Yorkies http://www.geocities.com/coppertop_yorkies/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2001 Report Share Posted November 23, 2001 Hi Marilyn, To get better eggs from your chickens, feed them purslane. It grows wild over most of the country I believe. If it doesn't grow there, you can buy seeds for it. It's also delicious for us humans too. >Hello, > >My name is Marilyn and I just joined your group two >days ago.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Hi , Yes, purslane. I've heard it is high in the omega-3 fatty acids. It grows all over here. The chickens do get quite a lot in the summer as I bring them the weeds I take out of my raised beds. That purslane just loves the soil in my raised beds. And it is easy to pull out.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Hi Marilyn, You mentioned feeding sprouted corn to your animals. I bought some for myself but I've never sprouted corn before. What's the best way to sprout it and the best way to eat it? >Hi , > >Yes, purslane. I've heard it is high in the omega-3 >fatty acids.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 Hi , I soaked a cup of field corn in my sprout ease for 12 hours. Poured off the water, rinsed them well. Rinsed them twice a day. It took 4 days and finally sprouted. (By the third day, I thought maybe the seeds were dead from going through a dryer.) I gave to them to my chickens. I had no intention of eating corn sprouts. But I supposed you could boil them for a few hours. They still seemed hard as a rock after the tail was as long as the seed. One of the things I do with some of my sprouts like sunflower seeds is dry them (no heat). They keep well dried and taste about the same as raw, unsprouted. Also I have dried sprouted wheat and ground it to a powder in my coffee grinder. Very sweet but haven't decided how to use it yet. Maybe I'll use the flour in my vanishing fruit and nut balls. I'm still waiting for inspiration. I'm trying whole oats this week. For the chickens again.

Too much iodine causes problems for the thyroid. Seaweed is not a natural foods for humans. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hi If you are looking for a good kibble, I suggest the Fromm Family 4 star or gold star line (www.frommfamily.com). It's available all over the states and in Canada. It's the only kibble I carry in my doggy boutique! If you can handle a homemade diet, or a raw diet, I also have some suggestions. Let me know!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 That looks like great food Kim but unfortunately it's not available here in AZ. However, I have a friend who runs a pet boutique who I can maybe talk into carrying it. How expensive is it, btw? Actually, I would only use the dry to supplement my little dachshund's homemade diet. I currently use Nutro Natural small bites just because he likes to have something crunchy now and then. (A small 4 pound bag lasts me 6 months or more.) Homey's homemade diet consists of lightly cooked meat and pureed veggies with added calcium, salmon oil, and doggy vitamins. He also gets " last bite " of my food. He especially loves to lick out the glass after I have the raw egg drink. He will sit there and beg the entire time I am drinking it. So now I will sometimes make up 1/3 of the recipe and give him that throughout the day. I should add...my vet knows what my baby eats and approves. He says my little guy is one of the healthiest patients he has. Homey has a shiny ultra-soft coat, bright eyes, great breath, clean white teeth, and tons of energy.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 There is alot of other great kibbles - Wellness, Wysong, Nature's Variety, Merrick's, Evo, Organix. But, if you are already doing a homemade diet, I would switch him to a half raw and half homemade. Be sure to give him lots of raw bones too to clean his teeth. There is a ton of information out there on raw diets for dogs. I love the weiner dogs! They are so cute! He needs a Buddy Belt! (www.buddy-belts.com) - designed especially for weiners!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hello Kim and group- I noticed you said to give your dogs raw bones.....are chicken bones okay for dogs ? My husband said that chicken bones would splinter and could injure the dog. I have two yorkies so I was curious ? Thanks for the help !

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 The best dog and cat food recipes can be found in DR. PITCAIRN'S GUIDE TO HEALTH FOR DOGS AND CATS out of Rodale Press. The best diet includes what foods you have available and that are healthy to eat. No good food should go to waste, and, ideally, no food that can be eaten by humans should be given to pets. See what kind of scraps you can scrounge. Butchers have bone dust from the saws, there are chicken backs and necks, and other good meats. Dogs should get about 1/3 meat (incl. eggs and dairy) and 2/3 grains and vegetables and cats about 50:50. You can't go wrong with these ratios. Always add a good trace mineral source as well. I make my food from the totally edible parts of our 100% grass-fed livestock that people don't eat (heart, tongue, liver, kidneys and soft ribs), sprouted grains and Jerry Brunetti's nutriceuticals. the brand name is WILD AT HEART Pet Food from Dr. Will's Kitchen and it will be on the market sometime around the first of the year.
