To grind or not to grind, that is the question

ZORRO : little by little, Claire let us get to raw feeding.

She inquired, read with a lot of interest articles of friends who feed already like that, she still inquired, and to be sure, still inquired. She finally stopped inquiring after 2 years, and to our immense relief, she started.

It’s at the time of preparing our first meal that she had a big existential interrogation : to grind or not to grind ?

It’s necessary to know that raw feeding comes in three variants :

Grinding : all the ingredients are grind together.
Franken Prey : the meat is roughly cut into pieces, and every meal represents artificially a whole prey (meat, giblets and bone) in the good proportions (just like Frankenstein with his creature 😉).
Whole Prey : small preys as chicks, mice, … are served whole. Mother Nature did right, and all the nutriments which we need are present in the good proportions.

Claire chose the Franken Prey model. She also thinks of ordering us frozen chicks as soon as she will have bought a small freezer only for us.

Raw food… It’s as if I had waited for this moment for all my life ! What happiness ! It’s almost as delicious as a sparrow or a mouse freshly hunted !

Pixie is less enthusiastic : she eats two or three pieces of meat then has enough. She likes chicken necks, but is not fan of giblets. That’s going to happen…

A fantastic weekend

Our buddy Speedy the Cheeky House Bunny was the luckiest during our giveaway. That made us laugh to see that Rafflecopter chose his name on Friday, because not long ago, it’s us who had luck on his blog.

Concatulations, Speedy ! The tea of your human will have even better taste in the pretty mug you chose for her.

The sun shone bright on Saturday. It was a magnificent day for the flower market of the village.

Claire did not come back empty-handed…

While she planted gerania, I had a good earth bath before doing a small garden tour.

I even bump into a ~~snack~~ ~~toy~~ lizard.

I hope that you also spent a fantastic weekend !

Can we ask you for some purrs for Momo ? He’s going to be operated tomorrow to remove the screws he has in the foot and to free his nerve below the knee so that it can continue to regenerate and to get back its functions (flexion of the foot). We hope that everything goes well. For those who know us for less than two years, it’s still the consequences of the serious accident Momo had in December, 2014.

Who is the mom you celebrate on Mother’s Day ?

Who is this mom you celebrate on Mother’s Day ? Is it your biological mother ? In most of the cases, the answer is yes. But not always. Some children do not know their mother and are adopted. And others sometimes have to break up with a toxic mother: it is difficult, it is brave, and this act is still a taboo in our society. This, it’s the little bit soft-bitter side of this particular day.

A mom makes you feel at the same time happy, loved, confident, and safe. And sometimes, by a fortunate coincidence, an extraordinary person enters the life of one of these children and makes him feel happy, loved, confident, and safe, even if he is already an adult. This, it’s pawsome !
